Civil wedding procedure in Katowicach

Concluding a marriage at the Civil Registry Office in Katowice requires going through several stages. The first step is to submit a declaration of no obstacles to concluding a marriage. After its acceptance, the statutory waiting period begins, which is a minimum of 1 month. During this period, the office verifies the absence of formal obstacles.

Before the ceremony, you must prepare the required documents. Polish citizens should have a valid ID card or passport. Birth certificate copies are usually not necessary, as the Civil Registry Office in Katowice obtains them directly from the register. The situation is different for foreigners, who must provide an identity document, a copy of their birth certificate, a certificate of legal capacity to conclude a marriage, and certified translations of documents.

A wedding must be witnessed by 2 adult witnesses. They can be people of any nationality. The ceremony takes place at the office headquarters on the designated day and time.

The cost of drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł. This is a stamp duty charged for issuing the document. If couples want to get married outside the headquarters of the Civil Registry Office in Katowice, for example outdoors, this involves an additional fee of 1000 zł. The condition is to ensure the safety and dignified conditions of the ceremony.
