Registration and paperwork
Procedures change, and they differ with your situation and your nationality. What follows is a general pointer, nothing more; the authority itself is the reference, and you should ask it before taking any step.
Worth knowing
- A religious ceremony does not stand in for civil marriage in creating rights; registration at the Standesamt is the basis.
- The Arab community in Germany is large and varied, with substantial Syrian, Iraqi and Lebanese populations.
- Documents issued in your home country usually need certified translation and legalisation; start early, as it can take a while.
