Love / Getting married in Poland (papers stating we are eligible to get married?) Certificate of no impediment. [24]
Hi rm4405,
In my own experience, the certificate was only valid for the 3 months prior to the wedding. I got marriage ceremony at Bazylika Mariacki in Krakow, and the priest there would only accept a certificate with 3 month validity.
Having gone through the process, we found it easier to marry in UK at a registry office, and then have a ceremonial service in Krakow. The hoops you needed to jump through were just a step too far.
The certificate was still required and validity checked, but not as many other requirements.
Maybe others on here can offer specific advice for an actual official wedding in Poland. If still possible, I really recommend a UK wedding and a Poland blessing!
