Wedding slots in Babiak

A civil marriage in Babiak begins with filing a declaration of no impediment to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. The office in Babiak requires the engaged couple to appear in person or send a proxy. After submitting documents, a statutory waiting period of minimum one month applies.

Required documents for a Polish citizen are a valid ID card or passport. Certified copies of birth certificates usually do not need to be provided, as the Civil Registry Office in Babiak retrieves them automatically from the civil registry. The situation is more complex when one of the parties is a foreigner.

A foreigner must submit:

• a photo ID document,
• a certified copy of a birth certificate,
• a certificate of legal capacity to marry issued by the appropriate authorities of their country,
• certified translations of all foreign language documents.

If it is impossible to obtain a certificate of legal capacity to marry, the office in Babiak will accept a court ruling in place of this document.

The court fee for preparing a marriage certificate is 84 zloty. A civil marriage takes place at the Civil Registry Office in Babiak headquarters, but an outdoor wedding or a ceremony outside the office is also possible. Such a ceremony involves an additional fee of 1000 zloty and requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

The marriage ceremony requires the presence of two adult witnesses. Witnesses can be persons of any nationality. After the ceremony, the engaged couple receives the marriage certificate, and the first short certified copy is free.
