Get married in
Hong Kong.

Initial consultation and planning

We discuss who is getting married, when you can travel to Hong Kong and where you will need to use the marriage certificate. This helps us identify what can be done before your trip.

• We explain the differences between a ceremony at the Marriage Registry and one conducted by an authorised civil celebrant.
• You receive a timeline covering documents, notice of marriage, travel and the ceremony.

Document preparation

You receive a checklist tailored to your circumstances. We review your documents for completeness and flag missing or inconsistent information.

• We go through the identity documents and evidence of previous marriages you may need, such as a divorce decree or death certificate.
• For documents in another language, we clarify whether translations, certified copies or additional evidence may be needed.

Notice of marriage and appointments

We help you complete the Notice of Intended Marriage and coordinate the next steps with the Marriage Registry or civil celebrant.

• We clarify which documents you can submit in advance and which originals to bring.
• We check your preferred date against available appointments and explain the deadlines that matter for your plans.

Ceremony arrangements

Once the date and venue are agreed, we walk you through what to expect on the wedding day.

• We provide the meeting point, arrival time and a list of documents to have with you on the day.
• We discuss who can serve as a witness and how you can arrange witnesses if needed.

Marriage certificate and certified copies

We explain which certificate you will receive after the ceremony and how to request a certified copy if needed.

• If you need copies for several authorities, we help you work out how many copies to request.
• We can assist with requesting certified copies.

Apostille, legalisation and translation

We confirm the country and authority that will receive your marriage certificate. This determines what authentication and translation are needed.

• Depending on the requirements, we can help arrange an apostille or legalisation.
• We discuss whether a certified translation or further steps with the receiving authority are required.

Hong Kong visa

If you need a Hong Kong visa for your wedding trip, we can arrange it for you. We explain what documents you need and help prepare and submit the application.

Residence permits after marriage

Once your marriage certificate has the apostille or legalisation required by the destination country, we can help arrange your residence permit application, for example in Vietnam.

• We help identify which residence permit may suit your circumstances and which documents you need.
• We help prepare and submit your application. The relevant authority decides whether to grant the permit.
