Legally speaking, getting a license is a real marriage. In other words, you will only be recognized as legal husband and wife by law if you get a marriage certificate, and your husband and wife life is also protected by law. If it's just a wedding, if it's not licensed, it's just a relationship. Without the relationship between husband and wife, the life of husband and wife is not guaranteed. If there are contradictions in the later period, there is no legal protection.

If you don't get married without a license, there used to be a saying called de facto marriage. De facto marriage is not recognized by law at present, but most people think that marriage is after the wedding, because after all, it has been witnessed and blessed by both parents and relatives and friends.

Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a license:

1. Newcomers need to bring their identity documents and household registration books to the civil affairs bureau where one of them is registered.

2. Nowadays, marriage registration generally requires an online appointment in advance. You can make an appointment to get married through the official WeChat account. On the day of obtaining the certificate, you can queue up with the required information at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Generally, there are many new people getting married every day in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so they have to queue up. But when it's your turn to wait in line, you need to fill out the marriage declaration, and then give the information you brought to the staff for review. After passing the exam, you can arrange registration. Finally, swear to each other to show their loyalty to the marriage.

Marriage certificate generally only costs nine yuan. If you are divorced and remarried, you need to bring a divorce certificate.
