Registration for the civil wedding should take place about 6 months before the desired date because the determination of capacity to marry is valid for no more than 6 months. There is no statutory minimum period before the wedding.

Any civil-status authority in Austria: registry office (Standesamt) or registry-office association; in statutory cities the registry office of the Magistrat, and in Vienna the registry offices of MA 63.

Civil-status and identity documents appropriate to the personal situation; the Standesamt will specify the documents actually required.

If you are a foreign national or present foreign documents, the registry office may require additional evidence, translations and, depending on the document, an apostille or legalisation.
