Appointments for marriage registration can now be set up online in Tongzhou district, Nantong, Jiangsu province. The online mobile phone platform was officially launched on Mar 1, making the district the first in the province to offer intelligent marriage registration services.

To set up an appointment, couples just need to search for the WeChat account "znhyxzs" on their mobile phones, fill in their personal information, and upload the required materials.

Once the application is approved, a message will be sent through WeChat. Then the couple can go to the district's bureau of civil affairs according to the appointment, making sure to bring all their documents with them.

The online preliminary examination of documents saves time for all parties involved and minimizes the risk of cross-infection, according to Qiu Ju, director of the marriage registration office of the district's bureau of civil affairs.

Qiu added that, in light of the ongoing epidemic, couples should try to postpone marriage registration if possible.
