Legal Requirements

To get married in Iceland, both locals and foreigners must provide certain documents, such as birth certificates, passports, and certificates of marital status. The requirements vary depending on each individual's circumstances, so it's important to check with the Icelandic authorities for specific details. Additionally, foreigners may need to have their documents translated into Icelandic and obtain a certificate of legal capacity to marry from their home country. It's recommended to start the wedding planning process at least three months in advance to allow time for all the necessary paperwork and arrangements.
