In addition to meeting the legal requirements for marriage, it is also necessary to complete the statutory marriage registration procedures at the designated marriage registration office.

The registration system can ensure the implementation of marriage freedom and the principle of monogamy, guarantee the physical health of marriage parties and their children, avoid illegal marriages, prevent the occurrence of marriage and family disputes, and is also an important part of legal publicity on marriage issues. Serious implementation of various regulations on marriage registration is of great significance for consolidating and developing the socialist marriage and family system.

For marriage registration, please fill in the name, gender, registered residence location, etc. The marriage registration authority shall immediately register and issue a marriage certificate to those who meet the conditions for marriage; For those who have been divorced, their divorce certificate should be cancelled. However, Chinese citizens and foreigners should go through the registration procedures and issue marriage certificates within one month after receiving the application for registration.
