What could be better than getting married in your favorite holiday country? With your feet in the sand, under the palm trees, enjoying live music. With tapas, paella and Sangria. Getting married in Spain as a Dutch citizen? Si, por favor! What is possible? Can you legally marry the same sex in Spain? Is getting married in Spain legally valid? What are the costs and what documents do you need? We’d love to tell you.
The rules for getting married in Spain vary greatly by region. You can marry the same sex throughout Spain. Getting married legally is only possible if one of you – or both – lives in Spain. But your wedding ceremony, reception and party can of course take place in Spain. You do not need Spanish nationality for this and you do not need a visa.
Getting married before the law in Spain is only legally valid if you live in Spain. But don’t worry, this doesn’t have to get in the way of your wedding plans at all. What most people do? First they get married legally in the Netherlands, at the registry office, after which they have the wedding take place in Spain. And one big advantage for those staying at home? This way they can still be present at your wedding. Do you want to have the marriage sealed by a marriage registrar in Spain? Then ask the relevant municipality what is required for this.
Yes, you can certainly get married in the church in Spain. The beautiful picturesque churches in Spain, such as Es Cubells and San José in Ibiza, are an important reason for many couples to get married abroad. What could be more romantic than tying the knot in a centuries-old church on top of a rock overlooking the sea? A wedding officiant in Spain can conduct the ceremony, often in Spanish and English. You can of course also choose to hire an interpreter or invite a Dutch-speaking wedding registrar.
Does one of you live in Spain or are you both based there? Then you can officially get legally married in Spain. For this you will need a number of things, including:
* Certificate of legal capacity to marry (Certificado de capacidad matrimonial)
* Declaration of marital status (Certificado de estado civil)
* Your birth certificates
* Identity documents
* Proof of residence in Spain
* Documents if you are divorced
* Documents if you are a widow or widower
Because the rules differ per region, it is wise to ask the town hall in Spain what exactly the rules are and what papers you need.
Getting married in Spain as a Dutch person does not have to be that expensive. The reason? Spain offers the most romantic locations for an outdoor wedding. Think of getting married in lush nature, among the olive trees, on the beach of Ibiza or on a mountain with a view of the sea. The costs of food and drinks are also relatively low in Spain, which leaves you with more budget for your other wishes.
Are you looking for a wedding planner or a wedding photographer? In Spain, these professionals often charge slightly less than their colleagues in the Netherlands. Would you rather fly in a professional from the Netherlands or do you want to pay the travel costs of your guests? If you book in time, airline tickets do not have to be that expensive.
