Have you said “I do” and decided to celebrate a civil wedding?
Head to Corsica for a truly successful ceremony! Let’s plan your dream civil wedding on a paradise island. However, a civil ceremony remains a codified union requiring administrative procedures because it is the only legally recognized one. The experience of the Noces Italiennes teams in Corsica in organizing civil weddings will allow you to experience an unforgettable moment in an exceptional setting.
Here is all our advice and the various administrative steps to follow for a civil wedding in Corsica.
STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR A CIVIL MARRIAGE IN CORSICA
To be able to get married in Corsica, whether in Haute-Corse or South Corsica, one of the future spouses or a close relative (father or mother of the bride and groom) must be domiciled there. The bride and groom generally choose their commune of residence in Corsica, but it is possible to choose another location that is close to your heart. To do this, it is imperative to put together a marriage application at the town hall of the commune chosen for the civil ceremony in Corsica. The application must consist of several documents: a birth certificate, proof of address, an identity document, and a marriage contract signed by a notary.
HOW TO BOOK THE DATE FOR YOUR CIVIL WEDDING IN CORSICA?
Généralement la réservation de la marie en Corse se fait au plus tôt 12 mois à l’avance. Vous pouvez réserver la date et l’heure de la célébration de votre mariage civil en Corse auprès de la mairie de votre commune qui ne sera confirmée que lors du dépôt du dossier de mariage complet. Un mariage civil peut également être célébré en dehors de la mairie de votre commune lorsqu’il s’agit d’un mariage religieux. Une fois les démarches administratives terminées et le dossier de mariage complet, la date de célébration du mariage civil est fixée en accord avec la mairie et les futurs époux. Le jour J, la cérémonie civile doit être officiée par le maire lui-même ou son adjoint en présence des époux et des témoins. Les futurs mariés confirment ensuite leur engagement à respecter les obligations du mariage. Vous voilà mariés ! Dans quelques jours vous pourrez demander à la mairie de votre commune un extrait ou une copie intégrale de votre acte de mariage.
