You will be required to provide the following original documents:

• Birth Certificates
  Some Town halls do not accept shortened certificates.
  Ayia Napa TownHall accepts either Full or shortened certificates.
• Passports
  Bride’s, Groom’s and Witnesses’ 10 year Passports with at least 3 months prior expiry (when you are in Cyprus). Witnesses must be over 18 years old.
  Photocopies of the photograph pages of each of the passports.
• Decree Absolute (if either party is divorced)
  If either party is divorced, you will need the Original Decree Absolute bearing the Official court stamp. If the Bride has reverted back to her maiden name this must be stated in the Single Statutory Declaration, otherwise she will need to bring her original Marriage Certificate with her or a Change of Name document.
• Name Change Deed (if applicable)
  If either party has changed their name from that shown on their Birth Certificate by either Adoption or Deed Poll, the originals of these documents showing the name changes will be required.
• Death Certificate (if either party is widowed)
  If either party is widowed, the Death Certificate of the deceased spouse and the Original Wedding Certificate will be needed.
• Single Statutory Declaration (also known as Affidavits) based on the Statutory Declarations Act. 1835, prepared, dated, stamped (containing the word solicitor) and signed by a Registered Solicitor(or a Commissioner for Oaths or a Notary Public in the UK) on their letter headed paper stating that you are both single and free to marry. They must be prepared for each one (Bride & Groom) containing your full name, address, nationality, passport number, profession, religion and marital status. Due to the fact that this Declaration is valid for 3 months only, it is advisable to obtain it some weeks before your Wedding date so is still valid during your stay and marriage in Cyprus.
  In case you are under 18 years old, a parental consent must be incorporated in the Declaration.
  For residents of Scotland or Wales the above Declaration can be replaced by a Certificate of No Impediment which you can obtain from the Registry Office. This is valid only for 3 months so you must make sure that you obtained it less than 3 months prior your Wedding Day.

• Long Birth Certificates
• Passports ( plus photocopy of each passport )
• Decree Absolute if either of you have been married previously
• Name Change Deed if applicable
• Freedom to Marry Certificate from Minister of Foreign affairs , Dublin , Ireland ( 01478022 – Consular Section ) or relevant Embassy of country of residents
  This certificate is valid for 120 days so we suggest you obtain 6 – 8 weeks before your wedding date.

In addition to the above you will require a photocopy of each of your witnesses passports and they do not need to attend the Town Hall for your registration, their passport copies will suffice.
