LGBTQ+ Marriage Specialist
Same-Sex Marriage in Denmark
Denmark was the first country in the world to recognise same-sex unions in 1989 and has recognised same-sex marriage since 2012. We handle your documents and application so you can focus on your celebration.
Why Denmark for LGBTQ+ Couples?
Denmark has a long and progressive history of LGBTQ+ rights. It was the first country in the world to legally recognise same-sex partnerships in 1989, and full marriage equality has been in effect since 2012.
Today, Denmark remains one of the most welcoming countries for LGBTQ+ couples who want to get legally married. The process is the same for all couples regardless of gender — there is no separate procedure or additional requirement.
Your Danish marriage certificate is internationally recognised and can be apostilled for use in over 100 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and all EU member states.
Requirements for Same-Sex Couples
The document requirements are identical to those for any couple marrying in Denmark:
- Valid passports (all pages, full colour scans)
- Birth certificates
- Proof of civil status (single, divorced, or widowed)
- Divorce decree if previously married
- No residency in Denmark required
We review every document for completeness and compliance before submission. This minimises the risk of delays or rejection.
