Planning to get married at the Gibraltar Weddings Registry Office? It’s a beautiful and simple way to tie the knot, but you’ll need to make sure you have all the legal paperwork ready. Here’s an easy checklist to help you prepare stress-free.
First, both of you must be at least 18 years old. Bring valid passports and birth certificates. If either of you was married before, don’t forget to bring the final divorce papers or death certificate of the previous spouse. These documents must be in English or officially translated.
Next, you’ll need to book an appointment with the registry office. You both must be in Gibraltar at least one full working day before the wedding to sign the necessary declarations. Make sure to bring all original documents. Photocopies will not be accepted.
A special marriage licence is also required. This can usually be arranged within a day, but it's best to allow more time in case extra paperwork is needed. Also, don’t forget to bring two witnesses over the age of 18 for the ceremony.
Lastly, dress how you like—there’s no strict dress code. The ceremony is short, sweet, and legally binding. You’ll walk away as a married couple with a legal marriage certificate recognised internationally.
Getting married at the Gibraltar Weddings Registry Office is a straightforward and memorable experience when everything is prepared in advance. For smooth planning and expert help every step of the way, trust Sweet Gibraltar Weddings to guide you through it all.
