Wedding slots in Żagań

The civil marriage procedure in Żagań begins with filing a declaration of no impediments to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. This document should be signed by both parties and contain a statement that no legal obstacles to the marriage exist.

After filing the declaration, a statutory waiting period of minimum 1 month applies. During this period, the office verifies information and prepares documentation. The couple should book the ceremony date at the Civil Registry Office in Żagań in advance, taking into account this mandatory waiting period.

Documents required from a Polish citizen are a valid ID card or passport. Copies of birth certificates are usually not necessary, as the office obtains them from the civil registry. Each of the couple must have these documents on the day of the ceremony.

The stamp duty for preparing the marriage certificate is 84 zł. This amount should be paid by the deadline set by the office.

A civil marriage in Żagań can also take place outside the office premises, in a location chosen by the couple. An outdoor wedding involves an additional fee of 1000 zł and requires ensuring safety and dignified conditions for the ceremony.

Witnesses can be any 2 adults of legal age, regardless of their nationality. Witnesses do not have to be Polish citizens.

Foreigners wishing to marry in Żagań should provide: an identity document, a copy of the birth certificate, a certificate of legal capacity to marry (or a court order if obtaining a certificate is impossible), and certified translations of documents. The marriage certificate is issued directly after the ceremony, and the first short copy is free of charge.
