A civil wedding in Dubrovnik, with the paperwork handled
Full civil wedding planning
We plan everything as we always do: the location, the partners and every detail of your day, together with all of the documentation.
Paperwork only
You organise the day yourselves, often including the location, and we take care of the documentation alone.
How it works
We guide you through every step and every legal deadline.
We collect your documents
We assist with every step of gathering the documentation, so you always know what is needed and when.
We book your registry appointment
We schedule the mandatory appointment at the registry office.
Sworn translation
A court interpreter, whom we hire, translates 5 documents, including the marriage certificate.
Your ceremony
The registrar comes to your chosen location and leads the ceremony in Croatian, while the court interpreter translates into your native language.
Your marriage certificate, home
We arrange the apostille for your marriage certificate and send it by post to your home address.
The documents you need
For all foreign couples, whatever their nationality, we ask for:
- Copies of your passports
- Your birth certificates, in English
- A certificate of no impediment (CNI)
- Verification of these documents with an apostille in your own country
Certain documents must not be older than 3 months. We walk you through all of it and keep track of the legal deadlines. Read our step-by-step guide.
Where you say “I do”
The marriage takes place at the location you choose. We suggest Park Orsula, Lazareti, Palace Viewpoint, Sponza and other locations, depending on your number of guests and your vision.
Witnesses and language
Two witnesses
The ceremony needs two witnesses. If you do not have any, Ana and Kristina take on that role.
A court interpreter
We hire the court interpreter who translates the ceremony and your documents.
