Documents and Paperwork Requirements

The staff at Swiss SE will assist the bride and groom with all the paperwork and processes that must take place before your Church Wedding in Switzerland in order to make the procedure as easy on you as possible. Swiss SE will clearly explain what the bride and groom must do, discuss and complete with your priest in your home country as well.

As for Religious weddings throughout the world, it is essential to the residing Priests and Pastors in Switzerland that the couple be actively practicing their religion in their home country. For Catholic Weddings, it is necessary that both the bride and groom be single (not divorced) and baptized Catholic. The pre-marital Catholic Courses must be held in the couple's home country, with their local priest, to complete the Catholic requirements before being able to host their Catholic wedding in Switzerland.

There are no residency requirements and no blood test/samples necessary for church weddings in Switzerland.
