What documents are needed for marriage registration?

Wedding is the embodiment of two people's marriage. Only by holding a wedding can we really be together. However, the wedding does not mean that you are officially husband and wife in law. Only after marriage registration can they officially become legal couples. Therefore, it is necessary to register for marriage before marriage, so what should be prepared for marriage registration? What are the procedures for marriage registration? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao. What documents are needed for marriage registration? What are the procedures for marriage registration?

First, the legal age of marriage in China

1, the legal age of marriage in China

The legal age of marriage in Chinese mainland is not earlier than 22 for men and 20 for women.

The legal age of marriage in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province should be no earlier than 18 for men and 16 for women.

The marriage age stipulated in China's marriage law is not mandatory or optimal, but the minimum age, which is the age boundary between illegal marriage and legal marriage. You can't get married until you reach legal age, otherwise it's illegal.

2. Exceptions to the legal age for marriage

In some special cases, the law also allows exceptions to the age of marriage. For example, taking into account the multi-ethnic characteristics of our country, Article 50 of the Marriage Law stipulates: "People's congresses in ethnic autonomous areas have the right to formulate flexible provisions in light of the specific conditions of local ethnic marriages and families." The legislatures of some ethnic autonomous areas in China have made flexible provisions on the legal age of marriage in their marriage laws. For example, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and other autonomous regions, as well as some autonomous prefectures and autonomous counties, all regard the age of 20 for men and 0/8 for women as the minimum age for marriage in their respective regions.

Note: These amendments are only applicable to ethnic minorities, not to Han people living in this area.

Second, what documents do I need to bring for marriage registration?

1. My household registration book and ID card.

2. Proof of marital status (generally issued by the unit or neighborhood committee of the party concerned), a written statement that I have no direct blood relationship with the other party and no indirect relationship within three generations. If the parties have been married, they need to bring a divorce certificate or a court judgment and proof that the judgment is effective.

3. Three two-inch bareheaded half-length color photos, which are required to be taken in a short time or at the registration site.

Note: Regarding the photo size on the marriage certificate, the civil affairs department clearly stipulates that the background color must be blue or red, and the length, width and size must be 6cm*4cm. Photos that do not meet the requirements cannot be used. Generally speaking, many couples choose to shoot on the spot, which is convenient and can avoid doing useless work. Most civil affairs bureaus have this service.

Third, the introduction of marriage registration procedures.

1. Relevant laws and policies on which registration is based.

Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China adopted by the National People's Congress;

Regulations on Marriage Registration promulgated by the State Council;

Interim Provisions on Marriage Registration issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

2. Premarital check-up

Both parties bring household registration books, identity cards, proof of marital status and other relevant documents to the local district-level civil affairs bureau to open relevant documents for pre-marital medical examination.

Bring a letter of introduction and other documents to the local maternal and child health hospital for specific physical examination.

After passing the medical examination, the hospital will issue a certificate of conformity, which must be presented in time when registering.

Note: As far as the current policy is concerned, the premarital examination is free, so we should be careful about bundling consumption and disguised compulsory consumption.

3. Treatment process

Both men and women should prepare all the registration materials and apply for registration at the civil affairs organ where one of them is registered.

The relevant agencies will review all the materials submitted by the parties, make a detailed investigation of any places in doubt, and may require the parties to give necessary cooperation.

After passing the examination, both applicants will be allowed to register immediately. If not, the relevant departments will also issue a written explanation explaining the reasons for refusing the registration application.

Once registered, both men and women immediately establish a husband-and-wife relationship, which is protected by relevant laws and enjoys corresponding rights. If the parties want to end the marriage relationship, they must also go through the relevant procedures and apply for a divorce certificate.

4. Common reasons for not registering

One or both parties are under the legal age of registration.

The parties do not want to register from the heart.

One or both parties have legal spouses.

Both applicants are related by blood that does not meet the legal requirements.

Did not pass the pre-marital medical examination, and suffered from some diseases that are not allowed to get married by law.

4. What materials are needed to reissue the marriage certificate?

Marriage certificate is the most favorable evidence to prove the legal relationship between men and women, and it also proves a milestone in their love life. This is a very precious item. Of course, it is not excluded that some Ma Daha who have been married for many years have damaged or lost their marriage certificates and need to reissue them.

Once the marriage certificate is found lost, the husband and wife must apply for the certificate of marital relationship in time. The procedures to be prepared include proof of marital status of both men and women (which can generally be handled in street offices), proof of household registration (which must be issued by the police station where both men and women are registered), copy of household registration book and ID card, and three recent bareheaded two-inch photos. If there is no problem with the application materials, you can get the "Certificate of Husband and Wife Relationship" within 7 working days. This procedure is actually equivalent to the legally binding force of the "marriage certificate".

Marriage certificate cannot be reissued before 200 1, and now the policy has changed. If you want to reissue a marriage certificate, you must ensure that both men and women still maintain the legal relationship between husband and wife. Both parties should bring their household registration books, identity cards and all documents that can prove the relationship between husband and wife to the relevant registration agencies to apply for replacement. In addition, the applicant needs to fill out a "Declaration on Application for Replacement of Marriage Registration Certificate" by himself.

The procedures that need to be handled in advance include the certificate of loss reporting of marriage certificate and the certificate of file search. If the marriage certificate is only damaged and does not affect its original appearance, the parties may not show the file search certificate. Of course, some necessary procedures, such as the cost of production and photos, cannot be omitted.

Marriage certificate is not only a piece of paper, but also can be used in other important occasions, such as immigration, real estate sales, and handling birth certificates. If there is no complete marriage certificate, it will be quite a headache.

Seven, remarriage how to apply for a marriage certificate?

To apply for marriage registration, both men and women who apply for marriage must voluntarily submit a written application. At the same time, both men and women who apply for marriage are required to go to the marriage registration office in person for marriage registration. Do not entrust relatives, friends, parents, brothers and sisters, lawyers and others to handle marriage registration. The conditions for getting a marriage certificate for remarriage are the same as those for first marriage, except that you should bring more divorce certificates or divorce judgments, or if the original spouse dies, you should bring the death certificate of the original spouse.

Materials to be submitted for marriage certificate: divorce certificate, household registration books of both parties, original and photocopy of ID card, and 3 2-inch photos. If you don't have proof of marital status during your stay abroad, you can hold my notarized unmarried certificate abroad, that is, the special certificate of those who go abroad for personal reasons-the marriage certificate certified (or notarized) by my embassy or consulate abroad, and the special certificate of those who return to China for personal reasons. Both men and women who require marriage registration shall go to the marriage registration office of the district or county civil affairs bureau (or the town people's government) with the required documents.

It is an administrative fee to collect a pair of marriage registration certificates from the Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau in 9 yuan, which must be collected. Other expenses are business or enterprise expenses, including expenses for certificate preparation and file management, which are about 50 yuan. In addition, in the process of handling the marriage registration certificate, the marriage registration office also provides paid services such as taking photos at the swearing-in ceremony, and newcomers can choose according to their own needs.

Tip: How to tell the authenticity of a marriage certificate?

At present, there is no networked system in China that can easily identify the authenticity of marriage certificates. If you must find out the authenticity of the marriage certificate, you can only go to the local civil affairs agency for screening.
