Wedding Abroad DocumentationEnsure you have all the correct wedding abroad documentation. In most countries you will need to produce some or all of the following documentation. The documentation may vary from country to country so it is best to check with the foreign embassy or consulate of the country in which you will be married.
Original Documentation Most countries require that your documentation is original or certified copies. Photocopies will not be accepted.
If you are getting married in a Non-English speaking country, you may be required to have your documentation translated. In most cases this must be done by a certified translator. The embassy or consulate of the country in which you are getting married should provide you with a list of their certified translators.
The time frame for submitting your documentation will vary from country to country. Some countries require your documentation to be submitted a number of months prior to your wedding whilst others only require it be submitted a couple of days before your wedding takes place. Be sure you are fully aware of the timeline for submitting your documentation.
Some countries require that you documentation is submitted in person and other countries will allow a third party, such as a wedding planner to submit your documentation on your behalf. If the county where you are planning on getting married in requires you to submit your documentation in person a month or two prior to your wedding, you will need to make a special trip to do this.
