– The parish priest issues a license addressed to the custodian of the Jasna Góra Basilica;
– We arrange the planned date of the sacrament of marriage with the custodian either in person or by phone (34 37 77 207);
– If it is to be a so-called concordat marriage (civil and church marriage simultaneously), certificates from the Civil Registry Office are required;
– If it is to be only a church wedding, an extract from the Civil Registry Office about a previously contracted civil marriage is required;
– The mentioned documents can be delivered earlier to the custodian at the Jasna Góra sacristy along with the witnesses' details (name, age, and permanent address) or, if not possible, no later than one hour before the wedding;
– The Marriage Act is recorded one hour before the scheduled wedding time. The newlyweds and witnesses should bring their ID cards for verification;
