Spain/Menorca wedding - legal requirements

Hi,

The first step is to contact the relevant authority (town hall/registry office/district court/religious authority) in the town where you are planning to get married ('Registro Civil' or 'Ayuntamiento'). They will be able to inform you of the documents they will require from you. Usually, you'd need the passports, Certificate of Marital Status, Certificate of No Impediment or CNI and a 'Consular Letter' (proof of previous or current address in the UK). But as I said get in touch with the local authorities because the paperwork and bureaucracy in Spain is a nightmare...

Hope it helps, good luck!

Hi

Myself and HTB wanted to do this for our wedding be this year but were met by a mountain of complications.

The main one being that the ayuntamiento told us we would have to fly to Majorca/Palma and 'give notice' there,

take all our documents from the UK etc, about 28 days before our wedding.

We we then thought we could go to the registrar to marry in the UK And have a ceremony in menkrca as it would be

easier, but it turned out to be very expensive for all our guests to travel- just for a ceremony! We've settled on just having

a wedding photo shoot on the beach for a few hours!

i think it's easier if you're marrying someone who is from menorca or who is Spanish but as a British couple wanting

to marry there, it seemed very difficult!

good luck!

Hi Laura

Speak with Rev. Paul Strudwick at the Anglican Church in Es Castel. He will be able to advise. I don't have the contact details but have a search on the web and he'll come up.

Hope this helps
