In order to solve the time problem, Shanghai will implement a 20 minute marriage appointment registration system, and the marriage registration of new couples will achieve "zero waiting". Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Marriage Management Office of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau that the online appointment information system for marriage registration will be fully upgraded by the end of this month. The time period for booking marriage will be precise from "day" to "20 minutes", and only one couple can make an appointment during each time period. Each marriage registration center will open an appointment window and accept up to 24 new couples for appointment registration every day. Zhou Jixiang, Director of the Marriage Management Department of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, revealed that once the quota for marriage registration appointments is implemented, the so-called "good days" cannot enjoy special policies, forcing couples to stagger their time slots and avoid crowds or loneliness.
New Marriage Registration System Regulations: Late Marriage Registration Cancel Green Channel
Yesterday, at the Municipal Marriage Registration Management Office, the reporter first looked at this online service process. Marriage parties can enter the www.shmzj.gov.cn civil affairs website, open the "Online Services" section, select "Marriage Registration", enter the information of both parties, and send it to the marriage registration authority in the form of a webpage to obtain an appointment number and agree with the relevant district and county marriage registration authorities on the time period for marriage registration. This latest system was debugged at the Pudong New Area Marriage Registration Center last week. The reporter found that the upgraded appointment system can only book one new couple every 20 minutes. When the newlyweds report their number at the marriage registration office during the marriage period, the information will automatically pop up. After verification, the newlyweds only need to sign their name to officially get married. However, if the couple is late for marriage registration, their appointment registration will be cancelled through the green channel.
New Marriage Registration System: Online Appointment is Popular among Newlyweds
In the future, Shanghai's marriage registration for newlyweds can truly achieve 'zero waiting', "Zhou Jixiang revealed. Online appointments are popular among many newlyweds, especially young people. It is estimated that currently 10% of couples, or about 10000 couples per year, join the ranks of online appointment registration for marriage. Due to the current marriage registration system, appointments can only be made on a 'daily' basis. With more and more couples making appointments for registration, many still have to queue up even if they make an appointment, especially on traditional 'good days'
New Marriage Registration System: Emphasizing Personalized Certification
The 20 minute appointment registration marriage system is mainly aimed at grafting with the new marriage registration model vigorously promoted in Shanghai. Zhou Jixiang revealed that wearing suits and wedding dresses, and registering and issuing marriage certificates in the presence of both parties' parents, relatives, and friends is the trend in the future. 20 minutes is exactly the time required for each couple to hold a personalized certification ceremony. The marriage registration centers in various districts and counties of Shanghai plan to create personalized certification halls. The Minhang Certification Hall, which appeared first, not only has a certification table, but also has a red carpet and rows of armchair seats for family and friends. Currently, 25 couples have held a grand wedding certificate ceremony with the blessings of their parents, relatives, and friends. Many newlyweds simply cancel their wedding banquet and bring along photography, videography, and makeup artists, making the certificate ceremony the main procedure of their marriage. After obtaining the certificate, they go directly to their honeymoon. In addition to Minhang District, the new certification halls of the marriage registration centers in Baoshan and Xuhui districts are also under construction. This year, they will also join the team to hold personalized certification ceremonies for new couples. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
