The wedding
Your wedding ceremony will be held by a private registrar approved by the authorities of Hong Kong, or in one of the local registry offices.
The language of the ceremony is English. If you do not speak or understand English, you need an interpreter whose service can also be booked through our agency.

Please note: You will receive a certified and legalized/apostilled copy of your marriage certificate not directly on the day of the wedding ceremony, but about 3 business days after your wedding personally and a second certificate by (registered) letter, or - if you wish - by DHL Express.

Legalization / Apostille:
To register the wedding in the most countries, you need a marriage certificate legalized with an Apostille.

If further legalization is required for the use of the marriage certificate in a particular country, our local partners also offer this service.
