Marriage abroad. Where can a Belarusian currently get a certificate confirming the absence of obstacles to marriage?
30.05.2025
Since January 1, 2025, changes to the Code on Marriage and Family of the Republic of Belarus regarding obtaining a certificate of no impediment to marriage abroad have come into force.
According to these changes, as of January 1, 2025, registry offices no longer issue certificates stating that you are not married. To obtain such a document, you need to contact a notary in Belarus. Now the document is drawn up based on your words. At the same time, a citizen has the right to contact any notary in the Republic of Belarus, regardless of registration.
The citizen's personal appearance with the appropriate documents is required at the notary's office; it is not possible to certify such a statement by proxy.
Requirements for the content of such a document have been established. In the application, the citizen indicates that at the time of submission, he is not married and has never been married, or was previously married, which was terminated (indicating the date of termination), and also indicates the absence of obstacles to marriage (if at least one person is in another marriage, are related or at least one of the persons entering into marriage is declared incapable). The applicant is responsible for providing incorrect data. The notary does not certify the facts stated in the application, but only confirms the authenticity of the applicant's signature.
What documents you need to have with you. If you were not previously married, then you only need to have your passport with you. If marriages were previously concluded, then you need to take documents to the notary that confirm the termination of previous marriages, namely:
- court decision on divorce;
- divorce certificate;
- death certificate of the spouse.
If there were several marriages, then a document is provided for each marriage.
Also, starting from January 1, 2025, citizens of the Republic of Belarus and foreign nationals permanently residing in Belarus are required to submit information about a marriage concluded abroad to the civil registry offices within 6 months.
For additional information, you can contact the hotline of the public association "Club of Business Women".
Calls and written inquiries are temporarily not accepted!
