What you need to do if you are going to get married in Cyprus. Here is a quick note about what is 

needed when applying for a marriage license in Cyprus. In future posts we will discuss and take you through a typical wedding day in Cyprus.

Some of the basic rules and requirements are as follows;

Under the provisions of the Marriage Law Cap. 279 you must apply personally to the marriage officer at a Town Hall

For either - a date for the marriage to take place after the lapse of 15 days from the date of the application of notice or until the expiration of three months from the date of the notice. However in urgent or time sensitive applications, a special license for implementation after 3 days can be arranged.

Things you must have with you;

Your documents, legal identification or travel documents (i.e. passports).  You must also be in possession of evidence that you are free to marry, such as confirmation from the competent authority of your country (i.e. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Have this information before you travel to Cyprus.

All documents regarding legal divorce certificates in cases of divorces, certificates of widowhood, etc., must be dully certified by a competent authority of their country (i.e. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an attorney, solicitor, notary, etc.) as a true and valid document at the period of the application for civil marriage in Cyprus.

So remember to have the following;

Certificate of No impediment of Marriage (each country has a different department that can provide this certificate)

• Birth Certificates
• Passports
• Decree Absolute, (if you are divorced)
• Death Certificate, in the case of widows or widowers.
