  Having children before the age of marriage does not require fines, and both men and women must meet the minimum age for marriage registration. The provisions of the Civil Code (implemented on January 1, 2021) regarding the legal age of marriage have not changed. Article 1047 of the Civil Code stipulates: "The age of marriage shall not be earlier than 22 years for men and 20 years for women." The legal age of marriage refers to the minimum age for marriage as stipulated by law. That is to say, both men and women cannot get married before reaching this age, and only those who reach or exceed this age can get married. As for the maximum age for marriage, there is no limit. The nature and characteristics of marital relationships require that both male and female parties must reach marriageable age. Only in this way can they have the necessary physiological and psychological conditions to make judgments when dealing with marriage matters, and to assume their responsibilities to the family, children, and society after marriage.

  Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that for children who have not reached the legal age for marriage, the party with custody should handle the household registration procedures. The couple or their guardians can apply for permanent household registration by presenting their birth medical certificate and one of their parents' household registration book, marriage certificate, or explanation of non marital birth, in accordance with the policy of voluntary household registration with both parents.

  2. The marriage certificate, ID card, and household registration book (original and photocopy) of the parents of the baby are not required for non married children;
  3. Original and photocopy of the medical certificate or paternity test certificate for the birth of the baby (children born out of wedlock must provide a paternity test certificate, which will be issued by an appraisal institution designated by the public security organ);
  4. The certificate of the registered residence committee of the baby's father or mother or the police investigation certificate of the police station responsible area (with the official seal of the police station);
  If one of the parents of the infant has a household registration in another city, the public security organ in the place where the household registration of the other parent is registered should issue a certificate of non household registration for the infant.
