Important documents - civil ceremony
With us by your side, you don’t have to worry about your documents getting approved. We are experts and know the exact information that the Danish wedding authorities will ask for – and how they need it.
The listed documents, below, are required to get married in Denmark. These allow us to have your civil ceremony and ensure its legality.
We provide the Notice of Marriage form, while the rest are documents that you have or need to obtain.

We will send you an application form that your need to fill out and sign (digital signatures are not accepted). We will also send you a Power of Attorney where you give us your permission to handle your application.
2. Once we have checked the documents and ensured that everything is in order, we will proceed and forward the documents to The Agency of Family Law under the Danish Ministry of Social Affaires. We expect to receive your approval after 1 week.
Your deposit is non-refundable in the event that you are unable to fulfil the legal requirements to get married in Denmark.
The standard paperwork and contact with the Danish authorities is included in all our packages. Magical Weddings charge 50 € per additional letter that we are instructed by couples to write – for example, to relevant embassies on their behalf. The 50 € fee applies to written communication that falls beyond our standard service.
We are very careful that the copies are correct and that they live up to the standards of the Danish Wedding Authorities in order not to delay your application. We might ask for a new copy. But do not worry. With our expertise, we know all about the quality required for all types of document copies.
Cancellation of your wedding; If you cancel after we have received the deposit and before we have submitted the application, a refund of 300 € is offered.
