WEDDING IN VIENNA – GETTING MARRIED IN VIENNA AS A FOREIGNER

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GETTING MARRIED IN AUSTRIA

To legally marry as a foreign couple in Austria, several essential requirements must be met. These requirements vary depending on the couple’s country of origin, with certain countries having specific regulations. Therefore, the information provided on this website should serve only as a guideline. For precise details on the process and country-specific requirements, individuals are advised to consult with the Austrian Embassy of your country. Take a look at this page to gather contact informations. However, individuals of either gender must be 18 years old to marry legally. Those aged 16 or older may also marry if they provide written, notarized consent from both parents and if their intended spouse is at least 18 years old.

REGISTERING TO GET MARRIED IN AUSTRIA

All couples planning to get married in Austria have to register with a registry office for a procedure to certify marriageability. For detailed information about this process, please take a look at this page. In cases where one of the individuals getting married is an Austrian citizen or resides in Austria (regardless of citizenship), the marriage application should be submitted to the Standesamt in the locality of their residence. If neither of the individuals getting married are Austrian citizens nor residents, the application should be filed at the Standesamt for the First District of Vienna: Standesamt Wien-Innere Stadt, Schlesingerplatz 4, A-1082 Vienna, Austria; Phone: 01143 1 40134 08580; Fax: 01143 1 40134 99 08580; E-Mail: post-a08(at)m61.magwien.gv.at).

If you lack a residency in Austria yet desire to marry or form a civil partnership in Vienna, kindly reach out to the Tourist Weddings Division (Referat für Touristenhochzeiten) via email at touristwedding@ma63.wien.gv.at. Ensure that your email includes the following details: full names of both parties, preferred wedding date, country of birth, nationality, current home address, and marital status.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARRIAGE IN AUSTRIA

In Austria, civil ceremonies conducted by a Standesamt official are the sole legally recognized form of marriage ceremony. These ceremonies typically occur at the Standesamt offices but can also be arranged at alternate locations for an additional fee. There’s no mandated minimum residency period, and you’re allowed to have a religious ceremony only subsequent to completing a civil ceremony, whether in Austria or your home country. The ceremony is conducted in German, possibly necessitating a translator. Reservations for ceremonies can be made up to six months in advance. Marriages conducted in Austria hold international recognition and legal validity.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE IN VIENNA OR AUSTRIA

Same-sex weddings were legalized in Austria since January 1st, 2019. Prior to that, same-sex couples only had the option to enter into a registered partnership.
