Wedding Solemnization Singapore: All Questions Answered

The execution of a ceremony is referred to as solemnization in the context of marriage ceremonies. It is possible that certain jurisdictions in the United States may need solemnization in addition to a marriage license in order for a marriage to be deemed legally legitimate. The following are the most frequently asked questions about marriage solemnization in Singapore, whether you or someone close to you is getting hitched in Singapore:

On weekends or holidays, may I get married?

If you intend to have the event outside, then yes.

Can my witnesses for solemnization be international or domestic?

Only if they are 21 or older.

Which solemnizer should I ask to do my wedding ceremony?

To better assist you and the solemnizer, you may invite any solemnizer from the list of solemnizers who can be anywhere in the world.

May I alter my date, time, witness, location, and/or solemnizer?

Visit 'Change Solemnization Details' on the wedding registration website of Singapore. Payment is required. The revised date must be at least 21 days and 12 months from the date of the notice of marriage.

Who should be in attendance? How should we pack for the ritual?

Two reliable witnesses and the licensed solemnizer must be present for the marriage solemnization. Invite relatives and friends to the ceremony, of course. Citizens and passports are required for both parties, as well as the witnesses (foreigners). Exchangeable wedding bands are optional. Please bring along your marriage certificate and marriage license, and else your marriage will not be solemnized. Please double-check your receipt of notification to get married.

Do wedding participants need to dress formally?

Please remember that you must dress in sync with the seriousness of marriage, which is between one man and one woman. The proper clothing comprises a button-up shirt and slacks for the groom or a frock for the bride. You should also not dress inappropriately. We require the parties to follow the institution of marriage, ROM's dress code, and the solemnizer, which would include their dress code. It is important to remember that the Registrar and/or the licensed solemnizer may refuse to solemnize a marriage if the parties have selected inappropriate clothing.

How long does the ceremony last?

When conducted outside the ROM, the ceremony takes 10 to 20 minutes. Within the ROM, it takes 5 minutes.

How do you get married? When do we get our marriage certificate?

Only a marriage license will suffice. To check papers and identities, he will seek proof that people going into a marriage are acting freely. Couples exchange wedding rings during the ceremony (this is optional). The newlyweds will sign all marriage certificates from that point on. The solemnize will declare the two people as husband and wife and give the Certificate of Marriage to the bride.
