Goldy

pray tell, what the hell is legaltation?

@caligula
Its another word for LEGALISATION (gerichtliche Beglaubigung)


If you married outside Germany, the Standesamt here might send it back to the place where you got married and verify whether it was issued legally.

Hi fred,

Thanks for your reply.

we are still unmarried, and waiting for the papers form india with legal stamp.

i heard from somebody,embassy will ask some questions for marriage, if somebody have expeirence about questions then advice me what question they will ask??

Hi, me again, I still waiting for your answer to my last question.

Your case sound weird to me.
In my case, I have to provide every document that was asked by standestamt (depend on country, different document may required).
These document has to be legalized (they will tell you what kind of legalization are required -> in my examples: prove of birth (legalized by außen minister, justice minister, then legalized by german embassy in my country of origin).
This document then sent to germany, I paid it to be translated by a translator (special licence required) then I gave these document to standestamt.
Then they start the legal process and brought this to the court. may take 3 months, then I got my married certificate.

You said that Standestamt does legalization for you???

hope this help.

Dear VP

my case is different, i gave all the papers in germany without legalzitation from german embassy. (with all legal stamp from home country)
Now they are sending there for legalzitation.

What questions embassy ask you for marriage?

well, after all home country legalization + germany embassy in my home country legalization (it was asked specifically and I can found the same information in germany embassy website, how to process document for married application in germany).

submit every document and wait 3 months.

Dear vp
standsamt called me for questions.
and they said german embassy forward some questions to ask with you.

i think for example. How you know your gf, where u meet first time?

Can you please tell me what more question they will ask me for marriage??
In your time what questions they asked you?

Wait for your help

Hello Goldy,

I and my wife registered our married in germany standestamt, but none of us has german nationality.

The procedure that we went through:
1. go to standestamt -> got all info about what documents required and what procedure

2. we prepared and got all the requested documents from each of our own country

3. submit all paper to standestamt (by the way, the lady did ask about my income, but everything is okay).

4. standestamt process our application -> go to court, everything okay

5. standestamt informed us that everything okay,
we went to standestamt to reserve the civil married ceremony time

6. got to standestamt for civil married ceremony

7. got married and all document.

that's it.
Process step 3 - 7, all take about 3 months.
