Procedure

If you are in Denmark, contact the city hall in the city in which you were married and ask for the records office. You must have been registered there or gotten a license there, so they should have the record.

Or if you are abroad, you can get it from the church in the parish where your Marriage was registered.

Call the relevant municipality (kommune) and ask for the church office. Addresses and telephone numbers can be found on www.borger.dk (Danish only).

Alternatively, you can look up contact details for the relevant parish on www.sogn.dk (Danish only). The person responsible for supplying copies of Marriage Certificates is the Parish Registrar (kirkebogsfrer). Because of Danish regulations the new certificate cannot be forwarded directly to you, but must be forwarded to the Embassy. It can then be collected from the Embassy's Passport Office at the following times:

Monday & Tuesday 9.30 - 12.00
