Saying "I Do"

Registering your marriage in Singapore is a simple three-step process:

1. File a notice of marriage online

You can only file a notice of marriage through the Registry of Marriages’ (ROM) website at https://www.marriage.gov.sg/civil/marriage-process, or submit your marriage application to the Registry of Muslim Marriages’ (ROMM) website at https://www.marriage.gov.sg/muslim/marriage-process

For ROM:
The earliest date which you may solemnise your marriage is 21 days after the date of notice.

For ROMM:
The earliest date which you may solemnise your marriage is 21 days after you have submitted your marriage application.

2. Verify your information and make a statutory declaration

For ROM:
• Go to ROM on the given appointment date and take with you the relevant documents stated in the “Summary of Notice of Marriage”. You may choose to do your document verification and statutory declaration via a video link if you and your partner are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents.

• You and your partner must be present at ROM. If done via a video link, you and your partner must be in Singapore.

• All documents must be original.

For ROMM:

• All documents must be original.

3. Proceed to solemnise on the day of marriage

For ROM:
