Fingerprint identification is now required for applicants who wish to get married or divorced in China, according to the amended Marriage Registration Regulations.

根據新修訂的《婚姻登記工作規範》指出，在我國申請結婚和離婚需經指紋認證。

Weddings and divorces are handled by the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau. Applicants for either process have to go in person to their local office and fill out application forms, and fingerprints will now be taken as a means of identification.

結婚和離婚相關流程是由市屬民政局負責處理的。這兩項流程的申請者都必須親自去當地的辦公室並填寫申請表。即日起指紋將會作爲識別身份的一種手段。

To marry, a bride and groom must have their marriage vows witnessed by a marriage registrar.

在結婚這一流程當中，新郎和新娘必須要在婚姻登記員的監督下宣讀他們的婚姻誓言。

The regulations also stipulate that a marriage registration office should not be located together with businesses that provide wedding photography, wedding services, or medical care.

規範還明確，婚姻登記處應該與提供婚紗攝影、婚慶服務、醫療服務的經營服務場地分開。

Also in the regulations, marriage registration offices should not increase their charges or add any additional fees without authorization.

此外，該規範還指出，婚姻登記處不應增加費用或擅自添加任何額外的費用。

Independent places, including registration waiting rooms, marriage registration areas, divorce registration offices, and archives are also being set up as a way to help protect the privacy of applicants, it was added.

該規範還補充道，包括候登大廳、婚姻登記辦公室、離婚登記辦公室和檔案室在內的衆多獨立場所正在設立中，此舉是爲了保護申請人的隱私。
