Civil wedding procedure in Bydgoszczy

The procedure for entering into marriage at the Civil Registry Office in Bydgoszcz requires advance planning and preparation of appropriate documents. The process begins with filing a declaration of no obstacles to marriage, after which a statutory waiting period of at least one month applies.

Each spouse must have a valid identity document, i.e. a national ID card or passport. Polish citizens usually do not have to provide copies of birth certificates, as the Civil Registry Office in Bydgoszcz retrieves them directly from the civil registry. The situation is different for foreigners, who must present:

  • identity document,
  • copy of birth certificate,
  • certificate of legal capacity to enter into marriage (or court order if obtaining a certificate is impossible),
  • sworn translations of all documents.

The stamp duty for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zloty. This amount covers the registration of the marriage and the issuance of the first copy of the short certificate, which you will receive free of charge directly after the ceremony.

To enter into marriage in Bydgoszcz, two witnesses are required, who must be adults. They can be Polish citizens or foreigners of any nationality.

For couples wishing to have a wedding outside the Civil Registry Office in Bydgoszcz, an outdoor wedding option is available. It requires an additional fee of 1000 zloty and ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.
