In international marriage, basically both procedures are necessary.
Procedures will vary depending on which country you marry and which country you want to marry first. ,
The following information will be the general information necessary for marrying any country person.

1. I want to establish marriage for the first time in Japan
Required Documents
When notifying in Japan, the following documents are required.
Couple common documents
・Marriage registration
Documents necessary for not Japanese spouse
・ Passport (presentation)
・ Residence card (presentation)
・ Certificate of marriage requirement provision or alternative document ( translated to Japanese if written in a foreign language)
Documents necessary for spouse of Japanese nationality
・ Family register copy
・ Identification card (license, etc., presented)
Parts that change depending on the country of marriage partner
It depends on which country you are marrying “Request for marriage requirement certificate or alternative document” among required documents.
For example, in the case of a marriage partner of Myanmar nationality, the Myanmar embassy has not issued a certificate of marriage requirement provision, so we need to have a document of a single certificate and a family list issued in Myanmar country instead.
It is necessary to have the document of the application form prepared in the Japanese government office and describe it.
So let’s check if you have issued a marriage requirement certificate to your embassy in Japan.
(If you do not see reliable information by searching on the Internet, please check by phone)
Supplement – About certificate of marriage requirement provision
Certificate of Incorporation Requirement is a document certifying that you can marry with the law of the country you are issuing.
For example, if a Japanese and an American get married in the United States, the government office in the United States can not judge whether the Japanese spouse meets the marriage requirement under American law.
So Japanese spouses can marry under Japanese law! (Certificate of marriage requirement provision) to be issued in Japan, submit it to the US government office, and prove that you can marry.
On the other hand, because the necessary documents in countries that have not issued marriage requirement proving certificates will vary from country to country, it is necessary to confirm.
Notification to the government office
When in Japan
If you can arrange necessary documents, let’s notify the nearest ward office / city office.
Moreover, although it is not known unexpectedly, it is OK even to submit marriage notification to any office .
Even if you choose the nearest office, there is no problem at all, I can call some of the ward offices and think that you can choose a government office that they are likely to deal with kindly.
By the way, I submitted it to the Shinagawa Ward Office, but I thought that I should have submitted it to the Bunkyo Ward Office. (Bunkyo Ward officials were many who were familiar with the business and many were)
When you are in a foreign country
It seems that it is possible to submit marriage notification to Japan’s ambassador, minister or consular stationed in a foreign country like the case to notify in Japan.
important point
There is a possibility that it will not be accepted on that day of notification. Please refer to the following for details.
Report to the embassy in Japan
If the government office can accept marriage notification, you can issue a marriage receipt certificate.
With this certificate of receipt of marriage registration let’s send it to the embassy in Japan of the foreign spouse’s country.
This will prompt marriage from both Japan and the foreign spouse’s country.
Parts that change depending on the country of marriage partner
Basically, after marriage is established in Japan, you will inform your country of marriage in Japan and you will also get married in your country.
However, depending on the partner country, there is a case that “you can not be married here, saying that marriage was established in Japan.”
Indeed it was true that Myanmar was the case, and when I contacted the Myanmar Embassy in Japan in October 2017, it was that I did not correspond to the reporting report of marriage between Japanese and Myanmar people.
So the married couple DF / KYMT, who is a married couple in Japan, has been married, but not in Myanmar.
There is no problem to say because we are not married in Myanmar, but it is not refreshing.
2. I want to establish a marriage in the country of marriage partner (other than Japan)
In case you marry first in a foreign country, you need to proceed according to the method of marriage established by foreign law.
The marriage system in Japan is a form of filing a marriage notification to a municipal office, but this is not a common method in the world.
In Myanmar, for example, by submitting a marriage agreement to the court and exchanging mutual marriage pledges in front of the judges, signing is finally obtained and marriage is established.
My wife says, Myanmar region Anywhere it is not this procedure, it depends on the region. So it depends on the region of the country.
So when marrying in a foreign country earlier, you need to properly examine the marriage method of that country, procedures of procedures, necessary documents, etc.
If a marriage is established in a foreign country, if you obtain a marriage certificate issued in a foreign country and hand it to the Japanese embassy, you will be married in Japan.
