All about marriage in Lithuania: what documents are needed, where to request them and how much to “give” to a priest?

But especially from the beginning.

Those who decide to get married in both the Vital Records Office and the church should think about the deadlines first. The application can be filed at the registry office one month before the wedding and at the church at least three months before the marriage. Preparing for a church marriage also takes more time.

Where to go? Spouses can register by going to the Civil Registry where they intend to marry. It is also possible to register in the Metric Services Information System through the electronic government gateway. Under quarantine conditions, it is very convenient to register by email and send the necessary documents by courier.
