Wedding slots in Kępno

A civil wedding in Kępno begins with filing a declaration of no impediments to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. The couple must appear in person and provide the required documents.

For Polish citizens, the following are necessary: a valid identity card or passport. Copies of birth certificates from the Civil Registry Office in Kępno are obtained independently from the civil registry, so couples do not need to provide them.

After filing the declaration, a statutory waiting period of a minimum of 1 month applies. During this period, the Civil Registry Office verifies that there are no impediments to marriage.

The court fee for preparing the marriage certificate is 84 zł and is collected during the procedure. The first short copy of the certificate is issued free of charge.

The ceremony requires the presence of two adult witnesses, who may be citizens of Poland or foreigners. The civil wedding takes place at the office headquarters, unless the couples wish to hold the ceremony elsewhere.

The option of an outdoor wedding or one held outside the Civil Registry Office in Kępno is possible. This involves an additional fee of 1000 zł and the obligation to ensure safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

Foreigners may marry in Kępno, however the procedure requires additional documents: an identity document, a copy of the birth certificate, a certificate of legal capacity to marry (or a court order if obtaining one is impossible), and certified translations of all foreign-language documents.
