Marriage proposals made easy: Altenstadt starts Ehe-Online!

In the heart of Altenstadt there is now a new digital service that makes it easier for the way to get married. The online service "EHE-Online" enables couples to organize everything necessary for their wedding from home. Instead of waiting for the opening of the registry office until the next working day, couples can now book an appointment for their wedding ceremony and access all the necessary documents.

This innovative service was implemented as part of the online access law (OZG) on the website of the municipality of Altenstadt and is the result of a cooperation between the state of Hesse and the Hanseatic city of Bremen. Thomas Thren, the digitization officer of the municipality, explains that the use of the portal not only includes the agreement of an appointment, but also offers the option of submitting pre -registration for marriage online. In addition, bride and groom can conveniently request documents and partner certificates online and pay their fees directly via payment methods such as PayPal or credit card.

Mayor Dominic Imhof expressed his enthusiasm for the new service and sees him as an important step to steadily expand the services of the community. "We are planning to make further services available online in the coming months and will meet our obligation under the online access law," said Imhof. He also emphasizes that despite the introduction of these digital solutions, the accessibility of the employees in the town hall remains insured. "Our goal is to create a hybrid range of services in which all citizens, whether online or personally, can present their concerns with us," added the mayor.

The introduction of the "Ehe-Online" service in Altenstadt not only creates a faster and more efficient approach for couples who want to take the big step into marriage, but also shows how digital transformation in municipal services progresses. A constant adaptation and expansion of these services is essential to meet the modern requirements of the citizens and to minimize the administrative effort.
