Marriage Certificate

Afghan nationals residing in Germany can apply for a Marriage Certificate (Confirmation of Marriage) at this Consulate General. If all required documents are complete, the certificate is issued on the same day.

Important Information:
Both husband and wife, along with three witnesses and two asserters who are adult Afghan citizens, must visit the Consulate General in person. This document cannot be processed or issued in the absence of either applicant, via post, or online.

Applicants must book an appointment in advance through the official online system. Visiting the Consulate General without an appointment is not permitted.

Applications are accepted only during official working hours: Monday to Thursday, 9:00 – 14:00.

Required Documents

The official Marriage Certificate Form must be completed at the Consulate General. Both husband and wife must fill in all required details, attach their photos, and provide their signatures or thumbprints. The form cannot be completed at home.

Both husband and wife, along with all five witnesses and asserters, must provide their original Tazkira, e-Tazkira, or valid Afghan Passport, along with copies.

Both applicants and all five witnesses and asserters must provide a copy of their Aufenthaltstitel or Personalausweis — both sides, clearly showing the name and address of the holder.

Both applicants and all five witnesses and asserters must provide two recently taken passport-size photos with a plain white background.
