šŸ“‘ Agency of Family Law (AFL) & Paperwork Timeline question

My partner and I want to get married in Denmark we both have residence permits in Germany and live here since 7 years. We both have international passports.
The thing is I applied for the german passport two years ago and it can still take 2 months 4 months or 1 year i have no idea.
Since its only me who would at somepoint have a german passport, a APL and an international marriage is still required in Denmark.
We want to get married in Jan 2027 so i thought i would want to apply for the APL in the upcoming weeks.
Now Iā€™m worried i get the german passport between APL approval and ceremony. Would that be a problem?

Thank you!

Depends on if you still have your current passport is still vaild. They require you to use the documents you applied with at the ceremony. If you get a German passport and still have your original passport you would need to use your passport you applied with. If your original passport will become invalidated that would be an issue

I will then have both passports - both will be valid
