Malta legal wedding requirements
Due to relatively open marriage requirements, it is quite easy to get married in Malta.
In fact, most of the requirements needed are the same as what would also be requirtd to marry in your own country.
The documents required must be forwarded to the Marriage Registry within 6 weeks of your Malta Wedding - a wedding planner can do this - or if you want to you can do it yourself to save money. Basically, to get married in Malta you need to prove who you say you are and proove that you are free to marry.
Church weddings & Civil weddings are legal in Malta & back home in your own country. For a Church wedding you will need some documentation from your Church back home to be forwarded to Malta before your wedding.
Below are the legal documents you will need to get married in Malta:
- A full photocopy of the photo page of the passports for both bride and groom should accompany the legal documents.
- Full birth certificates (showing parents' names) of both bride and groom, authenticated by a legal person are also needed.
- If this is your first marriage, you require a Free Status certificate. In Scotland and Ireland this is a 'Certificate of no Impediment'. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, this is a 'Statutory Declaration' by a 3rd party drawn up in the presence of a solicitor. For other countries it is a document showing that you are single & thus free to marry usually from you Interior ministry.
- In the case of Divorcees, you will need to also include your Divorce Absolute and an Affidavit by a 3rd person drawn up in the presence of a solicitor, stating you have not re-married.
- For widowers, you will need the wedding certificate of your first marriage, the death certificate of your former spouse and an affidavit as above stating you have not re-married since.
