You may refer to this link to see the available slots for in-house solemnization. The dates shown are for reference only. They are not for booking of solemnizaton slots at ROM.
After fulfilling the 15 days requirement, you may proceed to file notice of marriage online via eService, giving at least 21 days’ notice to ROM.
Once you have completed the filing of notice, a system-generated appointment date and time will be given for verification of documents and statutory declaration (VDSD) at ROM. This appointment is usually 1 to 14 days prior to your solemnization date and both parties must be present at ROM for this appointment with the relevant documents as stated in your Summary of Notice of Marriage.
Note: Current or former work permit holder who wishes to marry a Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident should obtain approval from Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to ensure that their marriage application does not contravene any part of the work permit conditions before they proceed to file notice of marriage with ROM. Please contact MOM for more information, including consequences if work permit conditions are contravened.
Where any party to the intended marriage is not a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, the law requires at least one party to be physically present in Singapore for a period for at least 15 days before the couple can file a notice of marriage with ROM. The 15 days (exclude the day of arrival in Singapore) must be continuous but need not be immediately preceding the date of the notice. It can be in a single visit made to Singapore any time before the notice of the intending marriage is filed.
Please come on the appointment date and time given to you so that a marriage licence can be issued within legal time frame for your solemnization to proceed as planned.
Any request for change of date given should be for exigency reasons. If you have good reasons to change your VD/SD appointment date, you may go to this link to make the change online. If your preferred date for VD/SD is not available from the selection list, you may email your request to msf_rom@msf.gov.sg and we will review accordingly.
For unforeseen circumstances that require you to walk in for VD/SD without appointment, you may have to wait for more than 1 hour during peak period. Priority will be given to couples who are here with VD/SD appointments.
