Marriage:
U.S. citizens planning to marry in Czech Republic are subject to the country’s requirements. Generally, the Czech government accepts a personal statement made by a U.S. citizen regarding his/her marital status. This statement can be made at the U.S. Embassy Prague, where it is notarized. It must then be translated. Often, this is sufficient for many municipalities. Additionally, it is important to contact the Town Hall of the specific municipality in which you will marry for further documentation requirements. Generally, marriage ceremonies legally performed abroad are recognized in the U.S. without further documentation.
The following is needed to obtain the notarized statement made at the U.S. Embassy Prague.
- Your full name.
- Your permanent address in the U.S.
- Your current address, if applicable.
- Your most recent U.S. passport.
- Your fiancé(e)’s full name.
- Your fiancé(e)’s citizenship.
- Your fiancé(e)’s permanent address.
USD $30 fee. The fee can be paid in U.S. dollars, Czech korun or by credit card.
