What are the requirements for getting married in Sweden?
- 1Man måste ha fyllt 16 år och ha båda vårdnadshavarnas skriftliga tillståndYou must have turned 16 and have the written permission of both guardians
- 2Man måste tillhöra ett trossamfundYou must belong to a faith community
- ✓Båda måste ha fyllt 18 år, och Skatteverket gör en hindersprövning förstBoth must have turned 18, and the Tax Agency first checks that there is no impediment
- 4Man måste ha bott i Sverige i minst fem årYou must have lived in Sweden for at least five years
Correct answer: Both must have turned 18, and the Tax Agency first checks that there is no impediment
Since 2014 there are no exceptions to the age limit of 18. The impediment check verifies, among other things, that neither party is already married and that the couple are not close relatives.
