So, the romantic date ended up in a wedding proposal?

Congratulations!

Are you planning to have your wedding in Greece?

Considering a sunset wedding on one of the Greek islands?

As Greece is rapidly becoming one of the most popular of wedding destinations, it's not too difficult to book your dream wedding at one of the many Wedding Resorts on the Islands. With a view to the Caldera in Santorini, or the Zante in Zakynthos, there is no end to the romantic atmosphere the friendly islanders can create for the visitor with expectations. Whether you've decided to invite the whole family or elope, a wedding resort on the side of a mountain, overlooking the clear blue sea, meeting in the horizon with the even clearer blue sky, will awaken all of your senses. You're dream wedding has just come true!

While booking your tickets and dream resort on the island, you haven't thought of the complex formalities that are associated with an overseas marriage. The truth is that you need a bit more than just your passports to get married in another country. Mistakes can happen with the paperwork, sometimes resulting in cancelled weddings.

At greekcom.com.au™, we can help you with the Legal documents that need to be prepared before they are submitted in Greece...  no errors, no worries. We will help you communicate with the Greek authorities so that you can receive detailed instructions on the requirements for your specific circumstances. Then we will help you to compile your documents, authenticate, translate and have them certified, so that the last thing you need to think about is the complexity of the formal procedures.

Documents for Weddings in Greece

For your marriage to take place in Greece you may need some or all of the following documents, depending on your personal circumstances:

- A valid passport of the bride and groom

- Original birth certificates of the bride and groom*

- Certified translation into English of overseas birth certificates (if either - or both - the bride or groom have been born overseas)*

- Change of name certificate (if either - or both - the bride or groom have changed their name)

- Single Status (No Record) Certificate for the bride and groom*

- Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage for the bride and groom*

- Divorce certificates (if either - or both - the bride or groom are divorced) – Absolute Decree, NOT Decree Nisi*

- Death Certificate of previous spouse (if either - or both - the bride or groom are widowed)*

- Court Order of Name Change (if either - or both - the bride or groom have changed their name)*

- A Statutory Declaration of Intention to be married**

- Completed application form provided by the Greek Authorities

- A wedding notice to be published in a Greek National Newspaper, two issues of which need to be submitted to the Greek Authorities

* All these ORIGINAL certificates need to be taken to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for an Apostille to be affixed. Then, a Greek translator, accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators & Interpreters (NAATI) and registered with the Greek Consulate, needs to translate all documents. Finally, the Greek Consulate will need to legalise all original documents and translations.

** The Statutory Declaration of Intention to be married  only needs be translated and legalised at the Greek Consulate, without an Apostille.

When you have organised your wedding you will need to fax copies of all these legal documents to the Greek Authorities as soon as possible! When you arrive in Greece you will need to submit the original documents to the Authorities before you get married.
