The Swiss Alps, charming culture, high-quality timepieces and holey cheese, there is no denying that Switzerland is an interesting country. If you love skiing and want a destination wedding then Switzerland is a great option. Ski/wedding holidays are offered by most of the top Swiss hotels and resorts, which will make your planning a lot easier to do. It is also very easy to get married in Switzerland when you are a non-resident, non-citizen of Switzerland. Here is what you need to know.
Compared to the countries that surround Switzerland, Switzerland requires relatively few pieces of information to qualify for a Swiss marriage license.
The first step in getting married in Switzerland is to determine which Swiss district to get married in. You need to know this up front because you will need to file your intent to marry in that district. Here is the contact information for three of the most popular districts to get married in:
If you plan to stay in this district after the ceremony you might want to check the average cost of living in Switzerland (compared to the UK)
When you contact the Zivilstandsamt you will need to provide them with all your documents and complete an application. This information will need to be in German, so enlist the help of a translator if you aren’t fluent in this language. Fortunately, the entire application process can be done through the mail so you don’t have to worry about making an extra trip to Switzerland before your wedding. When you file your intent to marry you will also need to make a deposit of between SFR 250 and 300. You will pay the remaining SFR 200-250 on your wedding date, for a total of SFR 500.
It is going to take around five business days to process your application. However, once approved, your Swiss marriage license will be good for up to three months. You will want to ask the district you register with if they require couples to wait for banns, wedding announcements, to be publicly posted. If they do then you may need to wait up to five weeks before you can have your wedding. This is why it is important to start the application process two months before you plan to get married.
