All civil marriage registration forms must be submitted by the married partners or their authorised representatives to the Civil Status Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Documents must be certified (for countries party to the Hague Convention on Apostille) or have an electronic apostille. For non-signatory countries, documents must be authenticated by the seal or stamp of the competent Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wedding representative or organiser must send copies of the application forms to the chosen marriage officer, with a copy to the Civil Status Department. The notice of marriage must be published 11 days before the scheduled date. If the marriage needs to take place before this period expires, a marriage licence approved by the Head of the Civil Status Department is required. A fee of 500 Seychelles Rupees is payable (one Rupee is approximately CHF 0.060).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
