AF384 and foreign marriage catch-22?

Legal Dual Nationality

Hi all,

My father has an inactive HHR (with all documents), married my Chinese mom outside Taiwan. He is unwilling to go back to Taiwan to reactivate his HHR, so I planned on getting power of attorney to register my parents’ marriage for my TARC application.

However, in order to register the marriage would I need to reactivate his HHR first? That is, can I register their marriage under his inactive HHR or would I need to first reactivate his HHR?

According to here, I can also reactivate the HHR with power of attorney:

父母在臺有戶籍，在國外結婚尚未在臺辦理結婚登記者：國外結婚證書須先經當地我駐外館處之驗證。另須提供最近3個月內核發之戶籍謄本正、影本各乙份作為雙方在臺單身證明（記事欄內須印有個人詳細資料），正本驗畢歸還

is he in Taiwan?

持蓋有本次入境章戳的中華民國護照或入國證明文件

Im not sure if your parents marriage should be registered in Taiwan to apply for TARC, but you can do it without activating his hhr.

我們在國外結婚，要怎麼辦結婚？證件有沒有不同？

1.雙方或一方在國內現有或曾有戶籍者，在國外結婚，得檢具相關文件，向我國駐外使領 館、代表處、辦事處、其他外交部授權機構（以下簡稱駐外館處）或行政院於香港、澳 門設立或指定之機構或委託之民間團體申請，經驗證後函轉或授權委託他人至戶籍地或 最後遷出戶籍地戶政事務所辦理結婚登記。
