FORMALITIES FOR A CHURCH WEDDING IN POLAND

What are the basic requirements for marrying within the Catholic Church?


The following basic requirements apply:



  • Notification
It is now a general rule across the country that at least six months notice of the date on which you hope to marry, must be given to the priest of the parish. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for all the formalities and preparations that are required. It is highly advisable to delay setting the date for any other arrangements until you have agreed the date for the ceremony in the church where you hope to marry.


  • Catholic Baptism
One partner at least must be a baptised member of the Roman Catholic Church.


  •  Documentation
The priest who will be involved in your marriage will also advise you about exactly which papers will be required by the Church and Civil registrars. In general, you will be asked to produce:
 

1. Written evidence that you are free to marry: this means, first and foremost, that neither partner has been married previously. If either or both partners have been married before, it is of primary importance that the couple raise the matter with the priest at the first meeting with him. He will be able to advise you in relation to your own particular situation.
 

2. Baptism certificate: for the Catholic partner, a recently issued orginal (i.e. within the previous six months) from the church where you were baptised; for Christians of other Churches - the original
 

3. Confirmation certificate: normally it is expected that the Catholic will have been confirmed or is prepared to be confirmed.
 

4. ID card

On the basis of the documents provided by you, your priest writes protocol and Licence for Polish Parish, where is wedding ceremony. After protocol, your priest will give announcement about your wedding.



  •  Marriage Preparation
All Christian Churches now invite couples to take part in some form of preparation for married life, in addition to planning the wedding ceremony. Marriage Preparation Courses are also regularly in every catholic country, as well as providing an inventory system to help couples prepare.
