Documents for marriage abroad

To marry abroad, you may be asked for a certificate confirming your civil status or the absence of impediments to marriage. The exact list is set by the foreign authority registering the marriage.

Before ordering

  • obtain the receiving authority’s document checklist;
  • check whether the documents require an apostille;
  • identify the required translation language;
  • if available, attach related documents or the receiving institution’s requirements; an attachment is optional.
