Wedding documents and Wedding Ceremony

 

    To officially book the wedding, we will need the preferred wedding date, also scanned copies of basic documents, which you can simply send to our email info@flywedd.com

 

   Documents to be sent via email:

1. Passport copies (page with photo and data only)

2. Birth Certificates

   If applicable:

3. Divorce certificate (final divorce decree page only)

4. Name change (in case that the name differs from the name on the birth certificate)

5. Death certificate (if previously married and widowed)

   

   Please note!

All documents should be in English or French language. Otherwise, certified translations are needed. No need for further notarization.

​

   The official wedding ceremony is romantic and relaxed event, with welcoming words, reading of the marriage act, repeating wedding vows, exchanging rings and signing registrar’s books. The total official part lasts no longer than 15 minutes, followed by celebration. And of course – with shower of petals!

​

     The Civil wedding ceremony will be performed by the Seychellois Registrar from Civil Status Office, in English, French, or Creole language and in accordance with the Seychelles law. The Marriage certificate issued will be in English language and it comes with apostil from Supreme Court.

   With constantly increasing number of weddings in Seychelles, new regulations at Civil Status, it now takes us 5 to 7 working days after the wedding to obtain all necessary attestations, which takes us to 4 different Governmental institutions and Embassies.

 

    For most of the countries, citizens of USA, Canada, Great Britain, and EU it is very simple. Only one original marriage certificate with apostil is required. It takes us only 1-2 working days after the wedding to obtain all.

​

   For UAE residents we will need to provide double set of certificates and additional verification; original marriage certificate plus one attested copy, both with apostils, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) verification letters, plus UAE Embassy attestation stamp.  The procedure requires minimum of 5-7 working days, depending on how busy relevant offices and Embassies are.

   

In case you will be leaving Seychelles before the documents have been completed, we will post them by DHL express courier.
