The revised "Marriage Registration Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") was announced a few days ago and will come into force on May 10, 2025. The main contents of the revision of the Regulations are to increase the content of marriage and family services, the second is to implement the "national service" of marriage registration, and the third is to optimize marriage registration services.
Many netizens left messages under relevant entries to inquire, do I still need a household registration book to register for marriage?
The editor carefully studied the full text of the "Regulations" and found that there is no need to show the household registration book when registering for marriage and divorce.
The Regulations stipulate that the marriage registration authority shall not charge fees for marriage registration.
Mainland residents applying for marriage registration shall issue the following documents and written materials:
Their resident ID card;
The signature statement that they have no spouse and have no direct blood relatives with the other party or collateral blood relatives within three generations.
If the party applying for marriage registration is in any of the following circumstances, the marriage registration authority will not register:
If it is not the legal age for marriage;
If both parties are completely voluntarily;
If one or both parties already have a spouse;
If they are direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations.
The Regulations stipulate that if a mainland residents voluntarily divorce, both the man and the woman shall sign a written divorce agreement and go to the marriage registration authority in person to apply for divorce registration.
Mainland residents applying for divorce registration shall issue their resident ID card and their marriage certificate.
It seems that the plot of "Going home to steal a household registration book and registering a marriage" can only exist in film and television dramas in the future.
