This depends on what the registrar's office ("Standesamt") requires and may vary from case to case. The Standesamt therefore requires that you make an appointment and discuss with them what is required for you.

There are, however, some standard requirements that apply in almost all cases:

1. Your birth certificate. It is a German requirement that all documents must have been issued within the last six months; therefore you may have to obtain a new copy of your birth certificate.
2. For U. S. documents to be accepted by the German authorities, they also require that you provide an Apostille.
3. All foreigners marrying in require an "Ehefähigkeitszeugnis" which is a Certificate of Free Status stating that you are legally free to marry.
