Surveys show that many couples appreciate the fact that they do not have to worry about the organisation, as everything is arranged by specialised agencies or travel companies. Others cite lower overall costs compared to a wedding in the Czech Republic. Another common reason is the opportunity to combine the wedding ceremony with a honeymoon. Most often, however, a wedding abroad is simply seen as a truly <strong>unique<\/strong> experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63a9f03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63a9f03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Popular Destinations for Weddings Abroad<\/h4>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Where should you get married? According to last year\u2019s data, the most popular destinations among Czech couples include the exotic islands of <strong>Mauritius<\/strong> and the <strong>Seychelles<\/strong>, as well as <strong>Greece<\/strong>, <strong>Italy<\/strong> and <strong>Croatia<\/strong>. When choosing a wedding destination, you should of course be guided by what feels close to your heart. Some couples dream of an intimate beach wedding with witnesses only, others love mountain landscapes, and for some, a wedding in <strong>Las Vegas<\/strong> is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c05237f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c05237f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph \/--><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Naturally, your decision should also reflect your financial options, and it is advisable to consider the <strong>legal aspects<\/strong> as well. For example, if you get married in countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention (primarily EU countries), you will face fewer formal requirements than in the case of more exotic destinations.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph \/--><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>How to Arrange a Wedding Abroad: On Your Own or Through an Agency?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you decide to get married abroad, you will need to choose whether to arrange everything yourself or use the services of an agency. If you handle all administrative matters on your own, obtain the necessary documents and familiarise yourself with the relevant legislation, you may save some costs. However, if you are short on time or want to avoid stress and enjoy your wedding preparations, we recommend turning to a reputable <strong>wedding or travel agency.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>What Documents Will You Need for a Wedding Abroad?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The documents required for a wedding abroad can be divided into two categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>documents proving the legal capacity of the couple to marry, and<\/li>\n<li>documents confirming that the marriage has been concluded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So what documents are usually required to get married abroad?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Birth certificates,<\/li>\n<li>a certificate of legal capacity to marry issued by a Czech registry office or a Czech embassy,<\/li>\n<li>a copy of the passport identification page,<\/li>\n<li>if this is not your first marriage, a divorce decree or the death certificate of a former spouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What needs to be arranged <strong>after the wedding<\/strong>? Documents confirming the marriage are issued by the foreign authority that performed the ceremony and must then be <strong>submitted<\/strong> to the Czech authorities for the marriage to be legally recognised in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>Certified Translations of Documents<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As you may already suspect, it is not possible to submit documents in Czech to foreign authorities, nor to submit documents issued abroad in a foreign language to Czech authorities. <strong>All documents<\/strong> therefore need to be <a href=\"https:\/\/nove.ilts.cz\/en\/our-services\/certified-translations\/\">officially translated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Documents required for the wedding ceremony must be translated into the official language of the relevant country, while the foreign marriage certificate must be translated into Czech. In many cases, a certified translation is sufficient if the documents are submitted in countries with which the Czech Republic has concluded a bilateral agreement on the exemption from document legalization. Otherwise, an apostille or superlegalization will also be required.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>Superlegalization and Apostille<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If the Czech Republic does not have a bilateral agreement with the country in question, documents must be not only officially translated but also authenticated. The method of authentication depends on whether or not the country where you are getting married is a member of the Hague Convention.<\/p>\n<p>For countries that are members of the Hague Convention, an apostille is sufficient. For countries outside the Convention, <a href=\"https:\/\/nove.ilts.cz\/en\/superlegalization\/\">superlegalization<\/a> is required.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ilts.cz\/attachments\/data\/ilts-svatba-v-zahranici-11-2023-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Prepare All Required Documents in Advance<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>How to Ensure Your Wedding Abroad Is Recognised in the Czech Republic<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As outlined above, for a marriage concluded abroad to be valid in the Czech Republic, you must visit a registry office after returning home. You will need to bring the <strong>authenticated marriage certificate officially translated into Czech<\/strong>, as well as your birth certificates and identity cards. The registry office will forward the documents to the Special Registry Office in Brno, which will issue a Czech marriage certificate. Please note, however, that marriages concluded in certain foreign countries are not legally recognised in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h4>How Far in Advance Should You Plan a Wedding Abroad?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Given the need for certified translations and, where applicable, <a href=\"https:\/\/nove.ilts.cz\/en\/apostille\/\">apostilles<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/nove.ilts.cz\/en\/superlegalization\/\">superlegalization<\/a>, it is advisable to start planning your wedding well in advance.
