Step by step to file marriage notice from overseas for marriage in Hong Kong
If you are not in Hong Kong and wish to file your marriage Notice overseas, you have to observe the following steps. Not all countries are possible with this process. If your country is suitable to do an oversea filing, congratulations as this will save you lots of money. Otherwise, if you appoint us to handle the process, you have to pay us a substantial fee. You may choose to do it yourself. In any event, you must allow enough time to process this difficult process, perhaps several months would be safe.
The process involves 4 parties:
- yourselves/marrying parties: to complete the oversea Notice form: (1) a copy of Notice of Intended Marriage form and (2) information sheet "Information Required for Registration of Marriage".
- notary public at your location: to witness your signing of the Notice
- submit the oversea Notice form to the Marriage Registry in Hong Kong
- Marriage Registry: issue you the Certificate of Registrar, approving you may proceed to a marriage ceremony in Hong Kong
- contact us and instruct us to be your civil celebrant of marriages. You pay us an initial fee to start with the process.
