WEDDING is Yayue agent of overseas wedding,
The strict sense is a wedding ceremony in a foreign country, not foreign registration of marriage.
The ceremony issued marriage certificate does not have the force of law.
Recently a lot of China new customer consultation, whether can the legal overseas wedding,
The ceremony and the marriage registration completed.
If Chinese recognized foreign marriage registration marriage, not only by the China marriage law protection, but also have a out of the ordinary foreign marriage certificate,Saving is also very romantic.
According to the relevant provisions of private international law, Chinese mainland residents, to comply with the provisions of the local marriage legal requirements for marriage registration in foreign countries, as long as it does not violate Chinese corresponding legal marriage, China admit its legal effect.That is to say whether it is in the American, Europe or Australia, as long as you are registered under the laws of marriage, China is to admit your marital status validity.But.... must fulfill certain authentication and notarization procedures, a very complex process.
Sounds Is it right? Somewhat contradictory?Now that recognizes the validity of marriage, why should perform authentication and notarization procedure?Because in the Chinese, married couples met the relevant legal affairs involving couples, such as the sale of real estate, processing the joint property of husband and wife, for child birth procedures, the relevant departments need to produce proof of marriage, two people.ThisThe authenticity and effectiveness, some departments are unable to recognition of foreign marriage certificate so, marriage registration in foreign countries, must be local and Chinese consulate for the corresponding notaries and consular certification, which is also in line with the requirements of the international private law.
PS:Consular certification is designed to make the notary documents issued by a country to be accepted by the authorities of the country, not because of suspected file of the signature or seal is true and the influence of foreign legal effect.
To American Las Vegas marriage certificate as an example, the certificate need to send in Nevada, the office of the Secretary of state certification, which is then sent to the China Consulate General certification rear can use at home.
Special mention: sent to the relevant documents, using Hongkong Macao area China, without the consular certification.The relevant documents in America local notary public notary, (Notary
Public) and the office of the Secretary of state confirmed (Apostilled), can be used in Hongkong, Macao.
This is why the Hongkong star, Hongkong people like to compare Hawaii, Guam American reason for marriage registration, procedures are relatively simple lot.But America Guam, Saipan is currently open to the permanent residents of Hongkong Macao area Chinese visa policy, for the rest of the China only open the Saipan a visa, USA Guam still requires visitors to American visa to go to.
The specific process of consular instructions please refer to America Consulate General in Losangeles show (Hawaii, Guam, Saipan Island in this area)
