"Digital Weddings": The National Register Office facilitates online marriage registrations

In the heart of Saarland, Volklingen is taking a significant step forward in modernizing its administrative services. The city has launched a new service called "Marriage-Online," making it one of the first municipalities in the region to offer such a service.

The new service, which includes the "Pre-registration of Marriage" and "Application for a Certificate of Marital Capacity," is part of the Online Access Act (OZG) in Volklingen. These services aim to simplify and speed up administrative services, adding to the online services the registry office of Volklingen has offered since 2018.

The "Pre-registration of Marriage" service works by collecting necessary data from the couple and securely transmitting it to the registry office. Once the data is verified by Volklingen registry officials, the couple is informed about the documents needed for marriage registration. This service is designed to modernize and streamline marriage-related administrative processes.

The "Application for a Certificate of Marital Capacity," on the other hand, provides proof that there is no impediment to marriage according to German law for a marriage abroad. This service is also available online, offering convenience and efficiency to citizens.

The public official who opened the online service "Heiratsanmeldung" in Saarland in February 2025 has not been publicly named. However, the launch of these services is another step towards digitizing administration in Volklingen, as part of the ongoing efforts to make services more accessible and efficient for its citizens.

With the introduction of "Marriage-Online," citizens can now conveniently and securely submit their marriage application at any time, eliminating unnecessary trips. This move is expected to further improve the overall efficiency of the registry office and make marriage-related administrative processes more manageable for citizens.

In conclusion, Volklingen's introduction of "Marriage-Online" is a significant step towards digitizing administration and modernizing marriage-related services. The services aim to simplify and speed up administrative processes, making them more accessible and efficient for citizens.
