After delivering the required identity documents, both parties must wait a minimum of 1 month before being able to enter into marriage. This period is stipulated by law and cannot be shortened.

Documents in a foreign language require certified translations.

Two adult witnesses are required to enter into marriage. They can be persons of any nationality.
