Getting Married In Slovakia
Guest Author - Sarah Shergill

A romantic wedding in Slovakia... the stuff that dreams are made of! If you are planning on getting married in Slovakia, there are several legal hoops to jump through. The key to success, as always, is good research and preparation.

Always check with your embassy well in advance for up-to-date requirements. Many embassies recommend that you arrange your wedding through a professional agency, but here are some guidelines if you choose to do-it-yourself.

Documents

The following documents may be required:
- Passports
- Birth certificates - long form including names of parents
- Evidence of termination of all previous marriages – previous marriage certificates, final divorce decrees, annulment decrees or death certificates
- Affidavits of citizenship and residence
- Certificates of no impediment

Affidavits of Citizenship and Residence - Sworn at the consular office in Slovakia or before a notary public in the country of residence. The document should include full name, date and place of birth, marital status, citizenship, residential address and passport information.

Certificates of No Impediment - These certificates are not available in some countries including the U.S. In such cases, Slovak authorities generally accept Marriage Affidavits, sworn before a consular officer in Slovakia. These Affidavits must be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For further information, please contact:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Hlboká 2
833 36 Bratislava
Phone: 2 5978 1111

All civil documents must be originals endorsed with an Apostille Stamp.

All documents issued in a foreign language must be accompanied by official Slovak translation.

Submit Documents to the Marriage Registrar's Office

Submit required documents to the local (Miestny úrad or Mestský úrad).
