Wedding slots in Stoczek Łukowski

A civil marriage in Stoczek Łukowski begins with filing a declaration of absence of obstacles to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. USC staff will help you prepare the necessary documentation and set the date of the ceremony.

From the moment of filing the declaration, you must wait a minimum of 1 month. This statutory waiting period is mandatory and cannot be shortened. During this period, the office verifies the absence of legal obstacles to marriage for both parties.

Polish citizens should bring a valid identity card or passport. Documents confirming the birth of the parties are not required, as the USC obtains copies of birth certificates directly from the civil registry. The situation is different for foreigners, who must provide:

• identity document,
• copy of birth certificate,
• certificate of legal capacity to marry issued by the appropriate authorities of their country,
• sworn translations of all foreign language documents.

The ceremony requires the presence of 2 adult witnesses. They can be persons of any nationality. Witnesses confirm the marriage by their signature in the act.

The court fee for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł. If you decide on an outdoor wedding or a ceremony outside the headquarters of the Civil Registry Office in Stoczek Łukowski, an additional fee will be 1000 zł. The office then requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

After the marriage is concluded, you will receive a marriage certificate. The first short copy is issued free of charge. Further copies are issued on general terms.
