Civil wedding procedure in Żarnów
A civil marriage in Żarnów begins with filing a declaration of no impediment to marriage at the Civil Registry Office. After this step, a statutory waiting period of at least one month applies before the marriage can be concluded.
Each couple must provide the required documents. For Polish citizens, a valid identity card or passport is necessary. Officials in Żarnów obtain copies of birth certificates directly from the civil registry, so they do not need to be provided. The situation is different for foreigners, who must submit an identity document, a copy of their birth certificate, a certificate of legal capacity to marry, and certified translations of their documents.
The court fee for drawing up a marriage certificate is 84 zł and is charged at the time of marriage. The first short copy of the marriage certificate is issued free of charge.
The ceremony in Żarnów requires two adult witnesses. They may be Polish citizens or foreigners - the law does not impose any restrictions here.
Persons wishing to marry outside the Civil Registry Office premises may opt for an outdoor ceremony. This additionally requires a fee of 1000 zł and compliance with requirements regarding the safety and dignified conditions of the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the marriage certificate is issued immediately, which serves as confirmation of the conclusion of the marriage.
