Wedding slots in Stare Miasto

A civil wedding in Stare Miasto begins with filing a declaration of no impediments to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. After this step, there is a statutory waiting period of at least one month, during which the Civil Registry Office verifies the absence of legal impediments.

Polish citizens should prepare a valid identity card or passport. Birth certificates are usually not required, as the Civil Registry Office in Stare Miasto obtains them directly from the civil registry. Foreigners must provide an identity document, a birth certificate extract, a certificate of legal capacity to marry, and certified translations of all foreign-language documents.

The ceremony requires the presence of two adult witnesses, who may be Polish citizens or foreigners. Their role is to confirm the marriage and sign the marriage certificate.

The stamp duty for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł. After the ceremony, the Civil Registry Office issues the marriage certificate, and the first short extract is free of charge.

Couples interested in a wedding outside the Civil Registry Office premises may choose an outdoor wedding. This requires an additional fee of 1000 zł and ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony. Details regarding possible locations are best discussed directly with the Civil Registry Office in Stare Miasto.
