It is therefore best if foreign bridal couples who want to
get married in Switzerland apply to the civil registry office (Zivilstandsamt) at the place where they want to get married as well as to the Swiss consulate, closest their home.
Most of the so-called “Preparatory Marriage Formalities” can be completed at the Swiss consulate near your home. Moreover, foreign language documents can be translated there and notarized if necessary. The consulate subsequently sends the documents to the relevant authorities in Switzerland.
