What types of registrations are there in the Czech Republic?

There are official registrars at the town halls of the Czech Republic, who are attached to these town halls and conduct registrations only there. There are 22 registry offices in Prague, in every district. This is the official registration in the Registry Office of the Czech Republic.

The second type of registration is an off-site registration by a registry office employee. They have a clear schedule of days and hours when they register couples. As well as a list of places where they travel to register marriages. And the usual time for such registrations is 9 — 10 — 11 am, which is also not very convenient for couples who want to celebrate their wedding.

The third type of registration is a church-civil ceremony. When the newlyweds submit documents to the registry office, but the ceremony is attended not by an employee of the registry office, but by one of the representatives of church denominations. It is important that it is not a wedding ceremony. This is the only option to do an offsite registration at a convenient time. A speech can be written especially for you in this case.
