Contents of Swedish marriage licenses
Individuals who want to get married must obtain a certificate from the Local Tax Office (Lokala skattemyndigheten) stating that there is no impediment for marriage.
Persons who are 18 years of age can get married in a civil and religious ceremony. Some churches (such as Establish Church of Sweden) require membership.
A typical Swedish marriage certificate contains your and your spouse’s (husband of wife) first, middle, and last name, maiden name of woman, your and your spouse’s father’s and mother’s name, name of issuing agency and place of registration, name and title of signing officer.
Who issues marriage certificates in Swedish language?
Swedish Tax Authority and churches are allowed to issue marriage certificates following civil and religious ceremonies, respectively. States in Sweden have different requirements, including residency test, waiting periods, and blood test in some states.
