Weddings in Cyprus
You must have
Documents..... legal identification or travel documents, such as passports. Also be in possession of evidence that you are free to marry, such as confirmation from the competent authority of their country (i.e. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.).
In other words you must have a signed, stamped paper saying that you are not already married, and this document bust be new and fresh, no more than 3 months old in our experience. Sometimes you can get it from your Embassy, if they allow you to sign an affidavit and will stamp it for you, but to be on the safe side, find out from them before you come.
All documents regarding legal divorce certificates in cases of divorces, certificates of widowhood, etc, must be dully certified by a competent authority of their country (i.e. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or an attorney, or a solicitor, or a notary, etc.) as a true and valid document at the period of the application for civil marriage in Cyprus.
So to recap - make sure you have
Certificate of No impediment of Marriage (each country has a different department that can provide this certificate)
Birth Certificates
Passports
Decree Absolute, (if you are divorced)
Death Certificate, in the case of widows or widowers.
MARRIAGE OF PERSONS UNDER 18
If either party of the marriage is under 18 years of age and is not a widow or a widower, he or she needs the written consent of the father, or if he is dead or incapable of consenting, the written consent of the mother. If both are dead or incapable of consenting, then the lawful guardian of such party must give written consent to the Marriage Officer before a Marriage Certificate may be issued.
