A preparatory procedure is mandatory for having your marriage or partnership performed in Switzerland. This procedure is usually carried out with the Swiss registry office where the ceremony is to be held or, if you live abroad, with your Swiss representation abroad. Please find out well in advance what formalities you will need to comply with.
If one of you is domiciled in Switzerland, the civil status office of their domicile is in charge of conducting this procedure. Please contact this office for information on the conditions, the documents required and the formalities to be respected.
The fiancés or future registered partners may attend to the administrative matters separately at different places. Your presence in person is required in all cases.
