A Sworn Affidavit For Marriage is a mandatory legal document required by German authorities when individuals wish to marry in Germany. This document serves as a formal declaration under oath, where the affiant confirms their eligibility for marriage under German law, including their current marital status, legal capacity, and absence of legal impediments to marriage. The affidavit must be executed before a German notary public and subsequently submitted to the Standesamt (Civil Registry Office) as part of the marriage application process. For international marriages, this document becomes particularly significant as it helps ensure compliance with both German marriage laws and international legal requirements. The affidavit includes personal identification information, civil status declarations, and formal statements about meeting legal marriage requirements, with serious legal consequences for false declarations.
