In general, it is not necessary. Before applying for marriage registration, you can make an appointment in advance. After the appointment is successful, you only need to arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau before the appointment time, explain your appointment number to the staff, and follow their arrangements. If there are also successful appointments before and marriage registration has not been processed, you need to queue up and process them one by one.
