Hello,
We are planning a religious ceremony in Poland and I know there are certain documents you need to provide in Poland in order to get a license to marry. We live in the United States and I'm a dual citizen (Polish/US) and my fiancee is American. We've never been married before and we don't want to get married at the local courthouse and subsequently fly to Poland. I know it sounds silly but I really want our American marriage certificate to state "religious ceremony". From what I've gathered (correct me If im wrong) we need a
1. so called certificate of non-impediment with an official translation in order to apply for a license in Poland;
2. a green light from a local priest with some sort of paperwork saying we took pre-marital class;
3. both of our birth certificates? (am I going to be treated like a foreigner or a Polish citizen? I was born in Poland so I'm guessing they should have it; not sure if I need to provide mine)
Am I missing anything? Is it true you have to apply for a license in Poland at least a year in advance?
Thank you.
