So what choices are available

For all types of ceremonies you will need:-

Birth certificates for both Bride & Groom
Passports for Bride & Groom. Passport photocopies of both passports plus for
the two witnesses, if you do not have witnesses this can be arranged in Cyprus.
The originals may be asked for when finalizing the wedding date, if the witnesses
are not arriving until later this still does not propose a problem.
Decree Absolute. (If either party has been married before) This has to be the original document.
Death Certificate. (If either party is widowed) and previous Marriage Certificate.
Affidavits one for each Bride & Groom. Declaration of being single, from their country’s origin.
These declarations (or certificates) can be obtained from the registry office / parish registry,
the Ministry of the Interior (Home Office) or Foreign Ministry (Foreign Office) of their countries
or even from their Embassies. The documents must be translated into Greek or English. Applicants
who are holders of UK passports can obtain their affidavits in resort at a charge of €50.00 per
person approximately from the Supreme Court, and will also cost you the price of a taxi there
and back or from a lawyer in England. The translated documents must be certified and signed by
the abovementioned legal persons. Also remember that Cyprus has many Bank Holidays and the courts
may be closed, so we would always recommend you have them with you.

above a Confirmation for being single/divorced certificate issued by the Ministry of Interior Nicosia.
