Civil wedding procedure in Elbląg
The procedure for getting married in Elbląg begins with filing a declaration of no obstacles to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. After this formality, a statutory waiting period of at least one month applies. This period allows for document verification and preparation for the ceremony.
Polish citizens should bring a valid identity card or passport. Birth certificate copies usually do not need to be provided, as the office obtains them directly from the civil registry. The procedure is therefore significantly simplified.
Foreigners must prepare for more formalities. Required documents are:
- identity document
- birth certificate copy
- certificate of legal capacity to marry (or court order if obtaining it proves impossible)
- certified translations of all foreign language documents
Two adult witnesses are required for the wedding, who can be citizens of any country. They just need to have an identity document.
The tax fee for drawing up the marriage certificate is 84 zł. After the ceremony, the office provides the first short copy of the certificate free of charge.
Residents of Elbląg also have the option to get married outside the Civil Registry Office headquarters. An outdoor wedding or a wedding in another location of your choice involves an additional fee of 1000 zł and a requirement to ensure safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.
