Wedding slots in Braniewo

A civil marriage in Braniewski begins with filing a declaration of no impediment to marriage at the Civil Status Office. The couple must remember about the statutory waiting period of at least 1 month from this moment. This time allows for document verification and final preparations.

Polish citizens should bring a valid identity card or passport. Copies of birth certificates are usually not required, as the office obtains them directly from the civil status register. The procedure in Braniewski proceeds smoothly thanks to access to central databases.

Foreigners must prepare a broader package of documents:

• identity document
• copy of birth certificate
• certificate of legal capacity to enter into marriage issued by the appropriate authorities of the country of origin
• sworn translations of all foreign language documents

The civil marriage ceremony takes place at the seat of the Civil Status Office in Braniewski. The couple must be accompanied by two adult witnesses, who may be citizens of any country. Witnesses should have identity documents.

The tax fee for drawing up the marriage certificate is 84 złoty. If the couple wishes to get married outside the office premises, in the form of an open-air ceremony, this involves an additional fee of 1000 złoty and the need to ensure safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the couple receives the marriage certificate. The first short copy is issued free of charge.
