Wedding Information

Get an idea of cost for a certified translation on the get a price page.

To get married in this country you will need to bring your original documents and photocopies thereof. English is not an official language of this country, so you will probably need a translation of the following documents to get married:

+	Statutory Declarations
	Certificate of No Impediment, stamped and sealed by a solicitor or Notary Public. Valid for 3 months from date of issue. Non Impediment to Marriage Certificate dated within 4 months prior to the ceremony.
+	Birth Certificate
	Full birth certificate of both bride and groom required.
+	Decree Absolute
	If divorced, provide with a court stamp. An additional copy is usually required.
+	Spouse's Death Certificate
	If widowed, former spouse's Death Certificate and previous Marriage Certificate.

Other:

+	Passport
	Valid 10-year passport of both bride and groom required. A copy is also required.

Marriages abroad are recognised by UK law only if they were were conducted in accordance with the local law of the country - although it cannot be registered at a UK register office. If there is any doubt about the legality, contact the Home Office before making any arrangements.

Seek advice from your GP in case you require any vaccinations or medical advice at least 3 months before departure date.

Hague Convention

Sweden is a member of the Hague Convention, so any official documents legalised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London should be valid.

Kind words from our clients ...

Fast, friendly, competent and very much cheaper that translators in my home country, Germany.
