Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has publicly solicited public opinions on the draft "Marriage Registration Regulations (Draft for Soliciting Comments)". On August 16, the heads of relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Civil Affairs interpreted the relevant contents of the draft for soliciting comments.

No more household registersTo facilitate marriage registration in other places

The draft amendment for soliciting opinions has deleted the relevant provisions in the current regulations that require mainland residents to produce their resident household registration books when applying for marriage registration (including marriage registration and divorce registration).

The relevant department head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that the revision of the "Marriage Registration Regulations"The cancellation of the requirement for parties to produce household registration books is mainly based on the objective laws of population mobility and promotes relevant public services to follow people wherever they go.

The person in charge introduced that the current regulations stipulate that marriage registration must be handled at the marriage registration authority where one of the parties is permanently registered, and the resident household registration book is its effective proof. However, with the rapid development of the economy and society, the mobility of the population has increased, and more and more people choose to work and live in different places. The existing regulations have brought many restrictions to their marriage registration.Going back to the place of household registration to handle registration also adds extra burden.Canceling the requirement for parties to provide household registration books solves this problem.
