In the last time I have had a lot of requests from brides from the USA, Great Britain and Ireland about the requirements for a civil marriage or a church wedding in Garmisch.
The needs will probably be different, the informations depend on the country and the civil status of the individual but I´m going to show here some samples and will get back to the post with further informations in the future.
Civil marriage
Based on the following assumptions:
2nd marital partner divorced 2014 (had been married once before with a British citizen), British nationality, living in Great Britain
Responsible for the banns (if no one of the couple lives in Germany and they want to get married in Garmisch-Partenkirchen) is the registry office at the town house in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
There the couple has to fill out a form.
1st marital partner
- Certified copy of the passport
- Statement of the register of births
- Affidavit about the family status (unmarried) at the German consular office;
- Not necessary if you do the registration personally in Garmisch because they will do it there for you.
- Registration certificate for Great Britain
- Certificate of no impediment from a British registrar from the region of your home town.
2nd marital partner
- Certified copy of the passport
- Statement of the register of births
- Affidavit about the family status (divorced; number of marriages, no marriage since the last divorce) at the German consular office;
- Not necessary if you do the registration personally in Garmisch because they will do it there for you.
- Registration certificate for Great Britain
- Certificate of no impediment from a British registrar from the region of your home town.
- Statement of the marriage register from your 1. marriage
- Decree absolute with confirmation according to Art. 39 from the EG regulation No. 2201/2003 from Nov, 27th 2003. (If you show this confirmation the verdict will be admitted without further needs)
All documents in English have to be translated by a translator admitted by a German court. Such a translator (admitted by a German court) must be present during the marriage at the town house.
The cost will be between € 200,– to € 300,– and the registration can not be done earlier then 6 months before the wedding date (because it is not longer then 6 months valid).
