• Legal Age: Typically, both parties must be at least 18 years old. Some countries require parental consent if under 21.

• Valid Passports and Identification: Foreigners usually need passports; some countries also request birth certificates.

• Proof of Single Status: Certificates of no impediment, affidavits, or divorce/death certificates if applicable.

• Marriage License/Application: Couples often must register with a local registry office before the ceremony.

• Witnesses: Usually 1–2 witnesses are required to attend the ceremony.

• Medical Certificates: Some countries require proof of health or blood tests.

• Residency Requirements: Certain destinations may require a short stay before marriage.

• Civil or Religious Ceremonies: Legal recognition may require a civil ceremony even if a religious or symbolic wedding is planned.
