Are you eligible to get married in Iceland?
You have to be 18 years of age.

Condition of having your wedding ceremony in Iceland is to be in the country legally. This you can prove by something that shows date of arrival (like a passport stamp or the airline ticket) or a Visa

Check if you need a visa to travel to Iceland.

You'll need the following paperwork to legally wed in Iceland:

A birth certificate has to be presented.

A valid passport has to be presented

A certificate of marital status has to be presented. Both partners need to submit a certificate of marital status issued by the relevant authority in their country, state or region. The certificate must be issued within 8 weeks prior to the wedding ceremony. Some countries do not issue a certificate of marital status. If that has been confirmed, and the bride/groom is a foreign citizen or residing abroad, a certificate issued by the relevant authorities in their country, confirming that there are no impediments to the planned marriage, is required. This is usually the tricky part. Don't worry, we'll help you out.

An application form from the office of the District Magistrate of Reykjavik has to be filled out and two best men (witnesses, one for each) certifying ability for marriage, must either have written their names on the application form in advance or do it in the office. The best men must be over 18 years old and their birthday/month/year is needed as well as their signature. The best men do not need to be at the weeding, only if you decide so, but as mentioned before full signature/birthday/month/year is needed. This application you will receive from Pink Iceland. We'll send you this form to fill out.

If you have been married before, you have to present a divorce decree (original) It is also necessary to prove that the division of assets and liabilities between the former spouses have been finalized.

If you are widow/widower official documents regarding estate/or collected assets and liabilities of a deceased person has to be presented.

Cheers to Sigga, an amazing wedding planner and Pink Iceland team member! "We couldn't be happier with the planning and execution of our adventure elopement with Pink Iceland! Due to the bad weather forecast on our initially planned date, we had to reschedule the elopement to be a day earlier. We we were made aware this was a possibility from the very beginning of the planning process. Our planner Sigga was able to reschedule everything and find wonderful replacements where needed, and with only a day or two to do so! We ended up getting married on the most beautiful, sunny winter day, it was truly magical! Sigga was also able to work within our budget needs, and provide a variety of options within it. We knew we wanted a glacier wedding, and she outlined the entire schedule and budget for more than one option for us. When there was a potential hiccup in our legal paperwork prior to the wedding day (due to our home state's record-keeping), she made a case to the Magistrate in Iceland for us and was able to aptly clear it up! She even planned and booked excursions and lodgings outside of our wedding day. Our entire trip from the elopement to the honeymoon was such a fun and beautiful adventure for us!" #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #weddingsiniceland #icelandweddingplanner #fivestars #fyp #adventurewedding
