[quote=JIMMYB,244891]Item 11 requires further explanation. Basically, the marriage registration office needs a form from the foreign partner's home government stating he/she is not already married in his/her home country. Every foreign government has its own version of this type of form with its own requirements for obtaining one. Couples will need to check the embassy website of the foreign partner's home country in China for details on how to obtain this kind of certification. (Chinese translations must accompany foreign-language documents.) Note: Application requirements may vary from office to office. When an individual visits the appropriate marriage registration office to pick up an application form and find out which local hospital(s) the foreign partner must receive a check-up at, he/she should also check to see if the office's requirements differ from those listed here. Step 2: Wait for the good news After the establishment of the new marriage law, it takes the marriage registration office about an hour or so to review the submitted documents and approve the application. Step 3: Congratulations Once the marriage registration office approves the application and registers the marriage, it will issue a marriage certificate to be picked up by the couple.
