Wedding slots in Chodzież

A civil wedding in Chodzież begins with contact with the Civil Registry Office. The engaged couple should schedule a consultation meeting, during which an office employee will explain the procedure and confirm the availability of the date.

Next, a declaration of no impediments to marriage must be submitted. According to Polish law, a statutory waiting period of minimum 1 month from the day of submitting this document applies. During this period, the Civil Registry Office verifies the absence of formal obstacles.

Polish citizens should bring a valid ID card or passport. Copies of birth certificates usually do not need to be provided, as the Civil Registry Office in Chodzież obtains them directly from the register. Foreigners, however, must submit:

• an identity document with a photograph,
• a copy of the birth certificate,
• a certificate of legal capacity to enter into marriage,
• sworn translations of foreign-language documents.

The fee for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 złoty. The ceremony can be held at the office headquarters or at a location chosen by the couple outside the Civil Registry Office. An outdoor wedding involves an additional fee of 1000 złoty and the requirement to ensure safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

A civil wedding in Chodzież requires 2 adult witnesses, who may be citizens of any country. After the ceremony, an office employee issues the first abbreviated copy of the marriage certificate free of charge. Subsequent copies are already subject to a fee.
