Free pre-marriage check-ups are generally done in hospitals designated by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Most of the hospitals for free pre-marriage check-ups are local maternity and child health hospitals or people's hospitals, and may also be other hospitals cooperating with the civil affairs Bureau, mostly public hospitals. However, there are also some areas in order to facilitate the marriage examination of new couples, the marriage examination place and the marriage registration office of the Civil Affairs Bureau are combined into one, and the new couple can directly conduct the marriage examination in the marriage registration office.
