Short answer
Singaporeans marrying abroad must follow the marriage laws of the country where the ceremony takes place, and should also check whether the marriage is recognised in Singapore. Local rules vary, so contact the local registrar and the Singaporean embassy for guidance.
For Singaporeans, marrying abroad means you need to comply with the legal requirements of the country where the wedding is held. This usually involves giving notice to a local registrar or authorised celebrant, providing valid identification and any required documents, and having the ceremony conducted by someone legally permitted to marry you. For example, in England and Wales you would give notice at a register office, and in Scotland you would submit a marriage notice to the registrar. You should also check with the Singaporean authorities whether your marriage will be recognised in Singapore, as there may be registration steps to complete after the wedding. Contact the Singaporean embassy or high commission in the country where you plan to marry, and also the local registrar or place of worship, to confirm the exact process. Rules can vary and change, so it is important to verify current guidance with the relevant authorities well in advance of your travel.
