So you’ve found yourself a German soulmate and now you want to make that commitment last forever - at least legally speaking. The kinds of documents you need depends on where you’re from, and also where in Germany you’ll be registering your marriage. UK citizens, meanwhile, have to apply for an exemption from the Ehefähigkeitszeugnis (Befreiung von der Beibringung des Ehefähigkeitszeugnisses) from the regional German authority (Oberlandesgericht) where they want to marry. In Berlin, there’s an €80 fee for applying for marriage and a review of whether the marriage requirements have been met, as well as a €10 fee for the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate costs €11.
