Wedding slots in Stary Sącz

A civil wedding in Stary Sącz begins with booking a date at the Civil Registry Office. The couple must submit a declaration of no impediments to marriage, and then wait a minimum of 1 month before the marriage can be concluded. This period is required by Polish law and serves to verify the absence of circumstances preventing marriage.

Documents required from a Polish citizen include a valid identity card or passport. Birth certificate copies are not necessary, as the Civil Registry Office in Stary Sącz retrieves them automatically from the civil registry. Each party must also designate two adult witnesses who will be present at the ceremony. Witnesses can be of any nationality.

The court fee for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 złote. This amount covers the entire official procedure. After the ceremony, the couple receives a marriage certificate, and the first short copy is issued free of charge.

Foreign nationals must provide additional documents. Required are: an identity document, a birth certificate copy, a certificate of legal capacity to enter into marriage issued by the appropriate authorities of the country of origin (or a court order, if obtaining a certificate is impossible), and sworn translations of all foreign documents.

The ceremony can also take place outside the Civil Registry Office in Stary Sącz, for example outdoors. An outdoor wedding involves an additional fee of 1000 złote. The office then requires assurance of safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.
