Civil wedding procedure in Gozdnica
A civil marriage in Gozdnica begins with contact with the Civil Registry Office. The future spouses must first arrange a preparatory meeting, during which an office employee will explain the requirements and schedule the ceremony date.
Each party must provide a valid identity document (ID card or passport). Polish citizens usually do not need to present certified copies of birth certificates, as the Civil Registry Office in Gozdnica obtains them directly from the register. However, if one of the parties is from abroad, additional documents are necessary: a certified copy of the birth certificate, a certificate of legal capacity to marry, and sworn translations of all foreign language documents.
A mandatory element of the procedure is filing a declaration of no impediments to marriage. After this step, a statutory waiting period of at least 1 month applies. This period allows the authorities to verify that there are indeed no legal impediments.
Two adult witnesses must be present at the wedding ceremony. They can be persons of any nationality; it is only important that they are adults and have full civil rights.
The fee for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł. If the couple decides on an outdoor wedding or a ceremony outside the Civil Registry Office in Gozdnica, an additional fee of 1000 zł is added. An outdoor location requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the couple and guests.
After the ceremony, the spouses receive a marriage certificate. The first certified short copy is issued free of charge.
