  The procedures for the second marriage and the first marriage are the same, and the appearance and content of the marriage certificate are certainly the same, without any difference. There are many people who are remarried now, but some may feel uncomfortable psychologically, especially when their marriage certificate indicates remarriage. In fact, there is no need to worry about this matter, because there is no difference between a second marriage certificate and a first marriage certificate, and the procedures for handling them are the same. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much, maintain a good state, and move towards a happier marriage stage.
  Generally speaking, the marriage certificate does not show how married you are, but when obtaining the certificate, you cannot conceal your marriage history, and the household registration book will indicate remarriage. It is impossible to keep the marriage partner and the Civil Affairs Bureau in the dark. Because when going to get the marriage certificate, you will need to bring your previous divorce certificate and household registration book, as well as copies. But the marriage certificate does not specify remarriage, just like the marriage certificate obtained for the first marriage. The household registration book will only indicate married. If you only want to keep it a secret from the elders and others of both sides, it is completely possible.
  Deliberately concealing marital history is an inappropriate and wrongful act that violates the legal principle of mutual loyalty between husband and wife. Although there is no clear legal provision on what kind of punishment to bear, there will be civil legal consequences for the other party to pursue, such as apologizing and bearing the economic losses of fault (which will be correspondingly reduced in property at the time of divorce), which constitutes one of the conditions for the other party to claim divorce. Wrongful and improper behavior shall result in adverse legal consequences. Concealing marital history does not fall under the circumstances of invalid or revocable marriage as stipulated by law. Therefore, parties cannot apply for the declaration of invalid marriage or the revocation of marital relationship. Concealing marital history can cause great harm to one party and lead to the breakdown of marital relationship. Divorce can be used to terminate the marital relationship.
  There is no difference in the form and process of obtaining a divorce certificate for a second marriage and a first marriage, but there are differences in the materials submitted. Second marriage individuals need to submit an additional divorce certificate or a legally effective divorce judgment.
  1. Prepare materials
  Original ID card, original household registration book, three two inch group photos, and one divorce certificate for second marriages.
  2. Fill out the declaration
  To obtain a license, you also need to sign a declaration that the other party is not blood relatives and you are single. This is also one of the necessary materials for obtaining a license, but you do not need to prepare it yourself. When you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the staff will send it to you and fill it out and sign it according to the requirements.
  3. Photography/Pre marital Health Check
  If you do not bring a photo of the two people together, you can take a marriage registration photo at the Civil Affairs Bureau. If you bring one, you do not need to go through this process. The marriage examination is also a voluntary process, and you can check or not check. From three months before to one month after obtaining the certificate, you can use the physical examination form from the Civil Affairs Bureau to go to a designated hospital for marriage examination.
  4. Check the data
  After all the required materials for obtaining the license are prepared, they can be handed over to the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau for inspection. After verifying the authenticity and completeness of the materials, the final stage can be carried out.
  5. Swearing to obtain certification
  The final step is to take the oath and obtain the marriage certificate. Those who submit the materials without any problems can receive the marriage certificate on the same day. Now, obtaining the marriage certificate is free and free of charge.

  (1) The subject of marriage is a man and a woman.

Otherwise, the marriage relationship will not have legal consequences. Namely, an invalid marriage that is not protected by law must meet the substantive and formal requirements stipulated in the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, otherwise it does not have the legal effect of a marriage.
  (3) The legal consequence of marriage is to establish the marital relationship between both parties. And assume the responsibilities, rights, and obligations arising therefrom. This established marital relationship, without legal procedures, no unit, individual or couple has the right to terminate the marital relationship.
