  Marriage registration can be roughly divided into three stages: application, examination, and registration. (1) Application 1. Chinese citizens applying for marriage within the territory of China must personally go to the marriage registration authority where one party's household registration is located to apply for marriage registration. When applying, the following documents and certificates should be presented: (1) household registration certificate; (2) Resident ID card; (3) Proof of marital status issued by the employer, village committee, or resident committee. Those who have been divorced should also hold a divorce certificate. If the parties involved in divorce wish to restore their marital relationship, both parties must personally apply for remarriage registration at the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's household registration is located. In places where pre marital examinations are implemented, the parties applying for registration must go to designated medical and health institutions for pre marital health examinations and submit pre marital examination certificates to the marriage registration authority. Those who apply for remarriage can no longer undergo premarital examinations. 2. Chinese citizens and foreigners (including foreigners resident in China and temporarily coming to China, Chinese foreigners, foreign nationals residing in China) apply for marriage in China. Both male and female parties must jointly apply for registration at the marriage registration authority designated by the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government where one Chinese citizen's household registration is located.
