General information.
Marriage in the Czech Republic can be civil or religious. Civil marriage and religious marriage have the same legal force. Marriage is contracted with the free and full consent of a man and a woman. Marriage registration is subject to the Law of the Czech Republic No. 301/2000 on registers, names and surnames. The wedding ceremony should be public and in the presence of two witnesses. If a couple wishes to be married by a state registrar holding a wedding ceremony in a government agency, this is called a civil marriage. If a couple wishes to be married by a religious society in a church, this is called a religious marriage. A couple wishing to enter into a religious marriage shall provide a church with a certificate issued by a registry office. A certificate confirms the fact that a couple has fulfilled all the requirements prescribed by the legislation of the Czech Republic on marriage registration, and now can enter into a religious marriage. A registry office certificate should be issued six months prior to the wedding ceremony in a church.
