Whether you will be planning on having a religious or a civil ceremony, there is a mandatory minimum stay of residency for eight days for all individuals who are wishing to get married. This is the time frame that is necessary for the local clerks and authorities to be able to process and complete all of your paperwork and applications. There are also several important documents that you will need to be able to get married in Greece.

Of course you will have to have a birth certificate to present, which has to be in original and notarized form because copies are not accepted. If you have been married before, you will also need to have a death certificate if you are a widow or widower or a divorce decree if it is applicable to your situation. After you go through all of the necessary steps, you are free to have your stunning Greek wedding on location in Greece.
