How to Get Married in Belgium
In order to get married
in Belgium, one of the parties must reside in the country. There
is no specific period of residence, but several weeks are generally
necessary for completion of the required paperwork. If neither of the
parties has a permanent residence in Belgium, one of them may
establish a residence for this purpose. Upon arrival in Belgium,
the party must register with the communal authorities in the district
of residence and request a Bewijs van Woonst voor Huwelijksdoeleinden/Certificat
de Domicile pour mariage (Certificate of Residence for Marriage
Purposes). Applications and/or
Documents Required: Bring
along original copies of the following (and be sure pack these
in your hand luggage, never in your checked bags):
All official documents
issued in a foreign country (e.g. the United States) must be authenticated
by means of the Apostille. In the Untied States, the Apostille
is issued by the office of the Secretary of state in the state
where the document was issued. Waiting Period: The marriage may be performed ten days after posting of the banns. ~ by Liz Stiglets Related
