Wedding slots in Bielsk Podlaski

Concluding a marriage in Bielsk Podlaski begins with scheduling a date at the Civil Status Office. Before the formal ceremony, the engaged couple must file a declaration of no legal impediments to marriage. From that moment, a statutory waiting period of at least 1 month applies.

Each party must possess a valid identity document: an identity card or passport. Polish citizens do not need to provide copies of birth certificates, as the Civil Status Office in Bielsk Podlaski retrieves them automatically from the civil status register. The situation is different for foreigners, who in addition to an identity document must submit a copy of their birth certificate and a certificate of legal capacity to marry issued by the appropriate authorities of their country. Foreign language documents require certified translation.

The marriage ceremony is conducted by an employee of the Civil Status Office. 2 adult witnesses are required, who can be of any nationality. The tax fee for preparing a marriage certificate is 84 zł.

The engaged couple has the option to conclude a marriage outside the Civil Status Office premises, for example in an open-air setting. Such a form involves an additional fee of 1000 zł and the requirement to ensure safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

After the marriage is concluded, the office employee prepares a marriage certificate. The first short copy of this certificate is issued free of charge.
