Which documents will we prepare for you?

Wedding Certificate:

The official statement of your special day. You will always receive 1 original certificate in English, depending on where you want to register the marriage, and 1 or more depending on if the spouses are of different nationalities or live in a third country and wish to register their wedding in that country as well. We will also provide a translation of your wedding certificate where necessary.

Apostile:

This is the local judiciary´s authentication of the Seychelles Wedding certificate. It is compulsory for all nationalities (except for British Nationals). This document is linked to the Wedding Certificate, so the number of apostilles issued depends on the number of Wedding Certificates, as well as on the number of different countries in which he/she wants the marriage to be registered. Please let our Sales team know which nationality you are, where you live, and where you would like your marriage to be registered and we will manage the details for you.

Certificate of Authentication, if applicable:

This document validates the Wedding Certificate and Apostille, and is is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of each country. This document is not compulsory for most nationalities. It is only compulsory for the UAE.
