Q: What documents do we need to get married in Hong Kong?

My girlfriend and I are going to marry, but her family does not approve and hid her hukou. Family and friends cannot convince the parents and brothers to give it to her. So, we are thinking of marrying in Hong Kong. American and Mainland Chinese. What documents do we need to take to Hong Kong to marry, assuming it is possible?

At present time, I am totally confused.  Someone posted months ago that he got married in HKG with just the passport.  I trusted him, and later on posted the same in reply to a question  Well, the person went to HKG and he was required his divorce decree sealed by Court, and a few others, he dealt with the Marriage Registering Office.  So, honestly I have no idea who is right, the one who claimed no papers needed, or the one who claimed papers are required.  But I found a private lawyer that for 1900 HKG dollars can do everything for you (that is what the website claims).  I have not dealt with him/her at all.  But you can give them a call and inquire over a long distance call, explain your situation and they will tell you how to proceed.  Their website address is :

I am sorry to tell you that Hukou is required even getting married in Hongkong.

For your GF: Hukou and HK passport 

For yourself: Passport should be enough ,they only asked my husband to show them his passport,He's An Aussie.

Good luck.

Seriously, the Hukou is required even in Hong Kong? What the hell? What if his girlfriend has a passport?

 

And why does she need a Hong Kong Passport...? If his girlfriend has a passport, wouldn't she need an HK visa, and not an HK passport?

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
