Wedding slots in Kochanowice

To have a civil wedding in Kochanowice, you must first schedule a visit to the Civil Status Office. During the meeting, the future spouses submit a declaration of no impediments to marriage, which is a document confirming compliance with the conditions specified in the Family and Guardianship Code.

After submitting the declaration, a statutory waiting period of a minimum of 1 month applies. During this period, the office verifies the provided information. Only after this time has elapsed is it possible to have a marriage ceremony in Kochanowice.

Polish citizens should have:

• a valid ID card or passport
• copies of birth certificates usually do not need to be provided, as the Civil Status Office obtains them directly from the civil status register

Foreigners must submit additional documents:

• an identity document
• a copy of the birth certificate
• a certificate of legal capacity to marry (or a court ruling if obtaining a certificate is impossible)
• certified translations of foreign language documents

The tax fee for preparing a marriage certificate is 84 zloty. This amount applies regardless of the form of ceremony.

The ceremony requires the presence of 2 adult witnesses. They can be persons of any nationality, without any additional qualifications.

The possibility of having a wedding outside the Civil Status Office in Kochanowice exists, but involves an additional fee of 1000 zloty. The office also requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony. After the marriage is concluded, the certificate is issued immediately, and the first short copy is free of charge.
