How to marry a Taiwanese in Taiwan?

(1) For Taiwan residents, the passport or residence certificate issued by the Immigration Department of the Ministry of the Interior, seal (or signature), marriage contract, account book, one front color photo taken in the last two years, or a digital photo should be submitted.

 

(2) Foreigners or non-citizens should submit a “Declaration on the Use of Chinese Name” for their foreign spouses, a certificate of marital status verified by the Taiwan Embassy or Consulate General, and a Taiwanese translation of the certificate. The validity period of the certificate of marital status is six months from the date of issuance by the original issuing authority.

 

(3) Both parties may apply for marriage registration at any Family Affairs Office.

 

 However, when a foreigner marries a person from a specific country as announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you must first complete the marriage registration in the foreign spouse's country of origin and apply for an interview with the foreign embassy or consulate with all the marriage certificates, and then apply for marriage registration with the domestic household registration office with the marriage certificates certified by the foreign embassy or consulate.
