Civil marriage ceremonies are performed on weekdays (monday - friday) at the office at Skógarhlíð 6, Reykjavík at 15:00 or 15:30. There is a fee of IKR 7.700.-

Before a civil marriage can take place, the partners must submit documentation to verify that there are no impediments to the marriage according to The law in Respect of Marriage no, 31, April 14th, 1993. Both parties must be 18 years of age and not already married.

Only original documents will be accepted. Documents in other languages than English and Scandinavian languages have to be accompanied by a translation.

All documents must be received 2 weeks before the planned wedding date. If more convenient, copies can first be sent by fax or e-mail, and originals handed in at a later date, no later than 5 days before the planned wedding date. If the documents are not received within this time frame, the planned marriage will be considered cancelled.
