Marriages and Civil Partnerships

Today, hundreds of couples travel to Gibraltar to exchange vows. As Gibraltar is a popular location for weddings and civil partnerships, it is wise to plan well in advance. Local laws do not contain any residential requirements and therefore it is a simple procedure and only requires a one night stay in Gibraltar.

Recent legislation permits the Registrar to marry couples outside the Registry Office, if requested. There are many venues approved to carry out civil weddings and partnerships.

Enquiries, bookings and further information may be addressed to the Civil Status and Registration Office or to a recognised travel agent or wedding planner. It is advisable to book a wedding or civil partnership well in advance of the chosen date to avoid disappointment.
