Do people in Sweden marry?

It is common in Sweden for couples to live together and have children before they get married. Many also choose not to marry. They live together as a cohabiting couple.

How can I get married in Sweden?

To get married you need to apply for a Certificate of No Impediment (hindersprövning) at the Swedish Tax Agency. The two documents you then receive from the Swedish Tax Agency should be sent to the City Hall at least 4 weeks prior to the ceremony to avoid cancellation.
