Getting Married
From Swisswiki
The Process
Some nationalities require a little more paperwork than others. Fundamentally it's simple; you need
- Proof of who you are
- Proof of where you're from
- Proof of where you're resident
- Proof that you're not already married
- Proof that you're [fully-] divorced
Once you have submitted your forms to the local Zivilstandsamt, they will need to send them to the ? office in the canton. Following this you need to wait for 10 days before you can marry.
