As a person who has successfully received the "red book", watching the friends around me begin to enter a new stage of life, my feelings are really mixed! In the process of applying for a marriage certificate, it can really be said that I have experienced the whole process from joy to anxiety to peace of mind. Here, I will summarize my experience, hoping to give a little reference to those couples who are about to step into the palace of marriage.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that marriage is not as simple as obtaining a license, it involves all aspects of two people's lives, and needs to be jointly operated and maintained by both parties. Therefore, before deciding to obtain a license, you must think carefully to ensure that you have made the right decision.
Next, let's talk about the new rules for obtaining a marriage certificate in 2024!
1. Preparation before obtaining a marriage certificate
1. Document preparation: ID card, household registration booklet, and photo (usually a 2-inch photo with a red background) are essential. In addition, if you have decided to apply for a foreign-related marriage, you also need to prepare some other documents, such as a single certificate, a certificate of no criminal record, etc.
2. Time selection: Generally speaking, the working hours of the Civil Affairs Bureau are Monday to Friday, 9:00-12:00 in the morning and 13:30-17:00 in the afternoon. However, the exact office hours may vary depending on the region, so it is recommended to check in advance. In addition, in order to avoid long queues, you can choose to go in the morning or noon on weekdays.
3. Location selection: Generally speaking, you can choose the place where either party has a household registration for marriage registration. If you have decided to apply for a foreign-related marriage, then you need to go to the foreign-related marriage registration office in the place where you are registered.
2. The process of obtaining a marriage certificate
1. Waiting in line: After arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, take the number and queue up first. Generally, there won't be too many people in line, but it's still important to go as early as possible to avoid delays.
2. Fill out the application form: When it's your turn, the staff will give you an application form and ask you to fill in the basic information. It should be noted here that the information filled in must be accurate, otherwise it may affect the subsequent processing.
3. Review materials: After filling out the application form, the staff will review your documents. There is generally no problem with this step, as long as the documents are complete and the information is accurate.
4. Oath and signature: After the review is passed, the staff will lead you to the oath room to take the oath. After the oath is taken, the marriage certificate can be signed. At this step, it is important to read the content clearly when signing to ensure that there are no omissions or errors.
5. Get the certificate and take a photo: After signing, the staff will issue you a marriage certificate and take a marriage registration photo for you. This photo is free to take, but some areas may charge a fee, so please inquire in advance.
3. Precautions after obtaining a marriage certificate
1. Renew your documents in a timely manner: After receiving your marriage certificate, if you need to travel abroad or handle other related matters, you must remember to bring your marriage certificate. In addition, if your ID card, household registration book and other documents expire, you should also update them in time to ensure that your documents are complete and valid.
2. Understand the law of marriage: Marriage is not just a matter for two people, it also involves a legal aspect. After receiving a marriage certificate, you must understand the relevant marriage laws to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
3. Cherish your married life: Getting a marriage certificate is just the beginning of married life, and true happiness requires the two of you to work together and manage. I hope you can cherish this wonderful time and walk through every stage of life together.
Finally, I would like to say that getting a marriage license is only a part of married life, and what is more important is whether the two of you can support each other and grow together. No matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, as long as you think in one place and work hard in one place, you will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and create your own happy life.
Marriage is an important step in life and one of the best journeys in life. I wish all couples who are about to enter the marriage hall can be happy and grow old together!
