Can I choose the date of obtaining the certificate at will?

You can choose the date of obtaining the license at will.

As long as you work in the marriage registry, you can get a license. However, if it is more traditional, a date will be chosen before obtaining the certificate. The licensing process is as follows:

1. Both men and women who apply for marriage must apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration office where one party's household registration is located with their household registration certificate, resident identity card and the certificate issued by their work unit or production brigade about their date of birth, nationality and marital status.

2. At the time of examination, the marriage registration authority shall examine the application of the parties concerned to find out whether the application for marriage meets the conditions for marriage. If the situation is unknown, it shall ask the parties concerned and ask them to provide relevant certification materials when necessary.

3. Register and issue a marriage certificate.
