Do I have to have a physical examination to get a marriage license

HOME > Knowledge

Getting a license does not necessarily require a premarital examination. Previously, our country had very strict requirements for premarital medical examinations, and the premarital medical examination report became one of the essential materials for obtaining a marriage certificate. In 2003, China changed its mandatory premarital medical examination system, making premarital medical examination a voluntary choice. Obtaining a certificate no longer requires a premarital medical examination report, and parties can directly obtain a certificate without undergoing premarital medical examination.
