citizens can obtain these certificates that same day

Bride and Groom and copies
thereof; and
- A photocopy of the identity
cards of the witnesses.
The Marriage Registrar should be given the following
information:
- The church or place where the
marriage will be held;
- The date of marriage;
- The name and surname of the
priest who will celebrate the marriage ceremony; and
- The surname which the bride
will be using after marriage (her maiden surname, her husband's or, in the
case of widows, possibly that of her predeceased spouse).
Ten days prior to the marriage date the couple are to
collect three documents prepared by the Marriage Registry and submit them to
the Parish Priest of the place where the wedding ceremony will be held.
After the ceremony the couple should sign their Marriage
Certificate; the bride should sign using her maiden surname, or if she is
widowed, her late husband’s surname.
Foreigners, Maltese nationals who plan to marry foreigners
or persons who have lived abroad for a period of time, should request more information
