GETTING MARRIED IN CORFU

Anglican Church Weddings in Corfu
This section applies to all followers of the Protestant/ Anglican faith, regardless of their nationality, who wish to have a Protestant/ Anglican Church wedding in Corfu, in which case the parties concerned must first conclude a civil wedding in the local town hall.

Regulation
Parties concerned must:

Fulfill the civil laws of Greece on marriage (which basically means that they have successfully supplied the required documentation).

Fulfill the principles and regulations set out by Diocese in Europe (see attached regulations).

First conclude a civil wedding registration at the local Town Hall in Corfu prior to their church wedding. Please note that without getting married first by Civil Wedding, the Protestant Wedding is not legally valid.

Attend a marriage preparation class at the local Church in Corfu during the week prior to their church wedding. The date for this meeting with the local Chaplain is arranged well in advance.

Attend a wedding rehearsal at the church during the week prior to the wedding during which they must present their wedding license.

Procedure
To explain you at little bit about the procedure involved and what our offices undertake to handle for and on your behalf to save you the hussle, please read through the following:

Parties concerned must inform their

Chaplain at their home country parish in writing of their intention to marry at least six months in advance of the proposed wedding date, stating their current civil state: single/ divorced/ widower. They also have to have the necessary documents issued, translated

into Greek by an official translator at their home country (local Greek Embassies/Consulates can help you out there by suggesting to you some approved
translators), and finally, take the translated documents along with the originals to their local Greek Consulate to have them certified with the Apostile Seal. All this is before you send all the documents (and their certified translations) over to us, to start dealing with for and on your behalf with the local authorities for your wedding.
We first arrange for an advertisement to be placed (for one day) in the local press, stating the parties' intention to marry, a copy of which will also be displayed at the Town Hall for 8 days, according to the Greek law requirements on weddings. We supply you with copy of this ad as a safe keep.
We then submit all the documentation for the civil wedding registration, on your behalf, to the local Registrar's Office in Corfu, three months in advance of the proposed wedding date. Please note that several stamp duties and a license fee are payable at this stage, that is why we always require at least a 50% deposit of your total wedding fee to be paid to us at the time of booking your wedding with us.
Within 8 working days of the documents being submitted, your wedding license is issued, valid for 6 months. The wedding may take place as soon as the license is issued.
With your wedding licence in hand, we then proceed to submitting on your behalf, your Wedding Application (the one you fill out for us at the start) along with your wedding license to the local Town Hall, to have your preferred date and time for your Civil Wedding confirmed and booked.
Your civil wedding takes place at the local Town Hall in the presence of 2 witnesses (in case you haven't any, we stand in for you). Your church wedding (pre-arranged on your behalf with the local Pastor) may follow directly or any time after.

Note: As soon as you provide us with the necessary documentation duly completed, our offices will deal with all the necessary proceedings on your behalf. Your physical presence on the island is only required a week before the proposed wedding date in order to attend the church marriage preparation class and rehearsal and to perform the civil registration ceremony in the presence of two witnesses.

With regards to the required documentation, please see below:

Civil Wedding Application form (see attached form to be completed)
Anglican Church Wedding Application form (see attached)
Copy of Birth Certificate for each applicant
Certificate of No-Impediment to Marriage for each applicant
Simple legal affidavit empowering Ms Filia Lilianne Charitos to deal with all your wedding arrangements with the local authorities for and on your behalf, signed by both parties and witnessed by your solicitor/attorney.

Important Note: The above documents have to be translated into Greek and certified by the local Greek Consulate, prior to being send over to us. We always suggest that you send us your documents using a secure channel, like registered mail or courrier mail.
