2. Procedures for obtaining a marriage certificate that couples must know: Both the man and the woman comply with the provisions of the Marriage Law. The procedure for obtaining a marriage certificate can be divided into three steps: application, review, and registration: 1. Application: Requirements The man and woman who are getting married must present their household registration certificate, resident ID card, and a signed statement that they do not have a spouse, and that they have no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations with the other party. ***Go to the marriage registration office where one party has his/her registered permanent residence and apply for marriage registration. When applying for registration, both men and women must be present at the same time. If you are divorced, you should also hold a divorce certificate. In places where pre-marital check-ups are conducted, you should also hold a pre-marital check-up certificate from the hospital.

2. Review: When necessary, the registration authority may require the parties to provide relevant certification materials, conduct necessary investigations, or designate items for medical appraisal when necessary. 3. Registration: After review, the marriage registration agency determines that if the marriage meets the conditions, the marriage registration will be granted and a marriage certificate will be issued. If the marriage registration agency refuses to register, it shall issue a written explanation explaining the reasons why the marriage cannot be registered.
