Two foreigners can marry in Czechia, in a civil ceremony or a church wedding; for a civil wedding you apply to the registry office for the district where your venue lies. Foreign documents need an apostille or superlegalisation and a Czech translation by a court translator, proof of your capacity to marry must be no older than six months on the wedding day, and processing takes at least two to three months. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.
The civil ceremony takes place where the registry office sets, taking your wishes into account, so a registrar can marry you at your chosen venue in front of two witnesses; if either of you does not understand Czech, an official interpreter must attend. A symbolic ceremony has no legal effect but skips the document process.
