What should I do if I want to get married in a country other than Norway?


Are you getting married abroad?

If you are getting married abroad, you must check with the authorities in that country what documents you must submit.

Before you leave Norway, you should for example check whether you must have any documents translated, and whether the documents from Norway must have an apostille stamp from the County governor.

Have you already married abroad?

Please see the Norwegian Tax Administration website for information about how to proceed to get your marriage approved in Norway. (external website)

In some countries the validity of the documents may be so questionable that the Norwegian Tax Administration will not register the marriage until after UDI has granted the application for family immigration.
