Although May 5 is just an ordinary Saturday, for many people, 20 is considered to be the homonym of "I love you" and has become a marriage registration day favored by young people. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily inquired about public information from civil affairs departments in many places and found that many marriage registration offices chose to "work overtime for love".
The person in charge of the civil affairs department of Taizhou, Jiangsu, introduced in an online consultation with netizens that although May 5 this year is a national statutory holiday, in order to better meet everyone's marriage registration needs, all marriage registration offices in Taizhou normally handle marriage registration business on that day. Citizens can make an appointment for marriage registration online through the official website of Jiangsu Provincial Civil Affairs Department, Taizhou Civil Affairs Bureau or the "Taizhou Civil Affairs" WeChat public account, or apply by phone call and on-site waiting.
The civil affairs department of Mianyang, Sichuan Province, publicly stated that marriage registration is a major event in life, and choosing a day with special significance to register is the expectation of newcomers to a happy marriage, and May 5 every year has become one of the peak days for newcomers to register their marriage. However, May 20 this year falls on a Saturday, not a weekday. In order to meet the good wishes of newcomers to register marriages, the city's marriage registration office has made it clear that "5" will "work overtime for love" to normally register marriages for newcomers in need in the city, and meet the good wishes of newcomers to go for love.
The civil affairs departments of Langfang and Hengshui, Hebei Province, both said that in order to meet the needs of the masses for "520" marriage registration and improve the service level of marriage registration for the convenience of the people, each marriage registry office normally accepted marriage registration business on May 5.
Langfang Civil Affairs specially reminds that on-site marriage registration requires an ID card, household registration book (with the first page and personal page) and three two-inch photos with a red background. Due to the different circumstances of couples who apply for marriage registration, it is recommended that the couple consult the marriage registry office of either party's household registration in advance to check whether the documents meet the conditions, so as to avoid being unable to apply for them on the same day because the documents do not meet the requirements. At the same time, in order to ensure the normal development of marriage registration on May 5, the marriage registration offices of various counties (cities and districts) have formulated work measures in advance, assigned more staff, set up additional registration windows, increased guides, and detailed the division of responsibilities of staff to ensure that the marriage registration work on the same day is stable and orderly.
Xi'an Civil Affairs announced on May 5 that the city's marriage registration office was "closed" on May 12, and the marriage registration appointment on May 5 had exceeded 20,5 pairs.
On May 5, the Yunnan Provincial Department of Civil Affairs reported that it had determined that marriage registration machines in 19 counties (cities and districts) in Yunnan would normally handle marriage registration on May 112. Among them, except for 5 counties (cities and districts) in Qilin District, Huize County, Malong District, Luliang County, Xuanwei City, Luoping County and Shizong County in Qujing City, the marriage registration offices of the remaining 20 counties (cities and districts) have opened online appointment services, and the public can make appointments for marriage registration business through "one mobile phone to do things".
