Conclusion of marriage
Each couple may celebrate their marriage in their own way and style. Remember to take care of the official matters related to getting married:
- Decide which surnames you will take when you get married.
- Consider whether you want a prenuptial agreement.
- Request an examination of impediments to marriage from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency or the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland.
- Decide on the type and place of the wedding ceremony.
If you have got married abroad, register the marriage concluded abroad in the Digital and Population Data Service Agency.
