It is always nice to eventually find your Mr. or Ms. Right in a foreign country. However, if you are marrying a Chinese citizen in China , you have to go through a marriage procedure. When Chinese citizens and foreigners decide to get married of their own free will in China, both the man and the woman concerned shall appear together at the marriage registration department stationed in the locality where the Chinese citizen has his/her residence registration and apply for marriage registration, presenting the application and all the certificates required by the marriage law.
The marriage registration department, after examining the application and confirming through investigation that the application conforms to the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China and to the Provisions for the Registration of Marriage between Chinese Citizens and Foreigners, shall give the applicants the permission to register, and to go through the registration procedures and issue the marriage certificate to them.
The marriage certificate shall be attached with the photos of both the man and the woman, and be affixed with the special seal for marriage registration of the people's government at the county level or above which handles the registration of marriage between Chinese and foreign nationals.
