Wedding slots in Chełm

The procedure for concluding a civil wedding in Chełm begins with filing a declaration of no impediments to marriage. After this step, you must wait a minimum of one month before it is possible to set the ceremony date. This mandatory period allows time for final consideration of the decision.

To conclude a wedding at the Civil Registry Office in Chełm, future spouses must prepare the required documents. Polish citizens should have a valid identity card or passport with them. Birth certificates are retrieved directly from the civil registry, so there is no need to provide them. The situation is different for foreigners, who must submit an identity document, a copy of the birth certificate and a certificate of legal capacity to marry. All documents of a foreigner require sworn translation into Polish.

The stamp duty for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł. If the couple wants to conclude a wedding outside the Civil Registry Office in Chełm, for example in an outdoor setting or another chosen location, this involves an additional fee of 1000 zł. Choosing a location outside the office requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

The wedding must be witnessed by two adult witnesses. These can be persons of any nationality, which gives the couple great flexibility in choosing. After the ceremony, the couple receives a marriage certificate. The first short copy of the certificate is free of charge.
