vigselbevis

Hello
Is vigselbevis enough to apply for family reunification under EU law in denmark?

[skaanebo]

There are a lot of requirements so of course a marriage certificate is not enough in itself.

The link talks about EU perosn but nothing mentions about what docs you need to apply as a spouse of EU

You can always ask at Statsforvaltningen if it doesn't state what documents you need to enclose with your application on the application itself.

Is vigselbevis considered marriage certificate?

[skaanebo]

bevis means proof or certificate
vigsel means marriage

Does that answer your question?

[uidroot]

Yes
But I am wondering if people getting married in Sweden will need to apostille the certifcate they gave. I want to make sure what we need before going and registering for reseident card.

[skaanebo]

A Swedish marriage certificate will be accepted in Denmark without any fuss.

The Nordic contries accept each other's official documents without translation and without legalization (apostille).

Thanks.

There is also a thing called legalisation.
"Legalisation means that the Ministry for Foreign Affairs confirms that a signature and seal/stamp on a Swedish document are genuine and verifies the capacity in which the signatory signed it."

which it says different from notary. Do I need that or not?

Just read the answer from mh again.
