天津市在中国邮政储蓄银行泗水道支行内开设婚姻登记延伸点，该登记处于1月6日正式开放[1]。这是天津市首个落地银行网点内的婚姻登记延伸点[1]，是中国为鼓励婚育而推出的便利服务举措。新登记处采用温馨布置并提供7年后寄回祝福的特色服务[1]。
中国婚育形势面临挑战。根据最新数据，今年上半年结婚登记数降至327.5万对，创下历史同期新低，比去年同期减少26.4万对[1]。为推进婚育便利化，中国于2025年5月10日实施修订版《婚姻登记条例》，实现"全国通办"，领取结婚证不再需要提供户口名簿[1]。此次在银行网点设置登记点的措施引发网友热议[1]。
China is rolling out convenience measures to encourage marriage and childbearing, with Tianjin establishing the first marriage registration office located within a bank branch.[1] The Hexi District East Sea Marriage Registration Office officially opened on January 6 at the Siushui Road branch of China Postal Savings Bank, marking Tianjin's first extension point for marriage registration services set up inside a bank outlet.[1] The registration office features warm décor and offers a distinctive service allowing couples to receive congratulatory messages seven years after their registration.[1]
The initiative coincides with regulatory changes aimed at reducing bureaucratic barriers. As of May 10, 2025, the revised Marriage Registration Regulations took effect nationwide, enabling couples to register marriages across different jurisdictions without the previous requirement of providing household registration documents.[1] Despite these efforts to facilitate marriage registration, China is facing a demographic challenge: the first half of 2025 saw marriage registrations drop to 3.275 million couples, marking a historic low for the same period and representing a decline of 2.64 million couples compared to the previous year.[1]
