Congratulations on choosing your wedding in Sweden.

As is the case with so many overseas wedding destinations, there is now
the legal documentation requirements to consider. At TLC UK we are here to
help and answer that question: ‘what do I need to get married in Sweden?’

Please note that the above are national guidelines as issued by the Swedish Tax Office. Sometimes, requirements for particular hotels/regions can differ or change from the national guidelines. We strongly recommend that you check with your travel agent or directly with the hotel or tax office of the region where you are getting married to get final confirmation on the combination of legal documents you require for your ceremony.

How do I translate & legalise documents for my wedding in Sweden?

Once the documents’ requirements are known for you and your partner to get married in Sweden then comes the translation and legalisation. This step of the process needs to be co-ordinated and planned carefully. Depending on the exact requirement, sending your documents to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office may be necessary plus of course hiring the specialist skills of a qualified translator to perform the translation.

Confused about how to get married in Sweden?

No need to be. You are in safe hands with TLC UK and here’s how:

Are there any other special requirements to consider when getting married in Sweden?

You and your partner will first need to apply in person for a marriage licence called ‘hindersprövning’ from the local Swedish Tax Office. The licence is usually issued within 7-10 working days and it is valid 4 months.

Requirements vary from one local tax office to another, and some of them do not require translations. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you obtain final confirmation on the exact requirements from the tax office in the region where the marriage will take place.

If you need a Certificate of No Impediment, this cannot be older than 4 months.

TLC UK makes getting married in Sweden simple and straight forward.
