Marriage in Greece
Marriage in Greece is allowed for both residents and non-residents of the country. Marriages may be civil or religious; civil marriages are performed by the mayor. In most cases religious ceremonies will be conducted by the Greek Orthodox church.[1] Same-sex marriage has been legal in Greece since 2024.[2]
Greece legally recognizes two forms of marriage: civil and religious. Civil marriages are conducted by a mayor or civil official, while religious marriages are usually performed by a priest of the Greek Orthodox Church. Both are legally binding, and couples may choose either or both. To marry in Greece, both parties must typically provide a certificate of no impediment, an apostilled birth certificate, and official translations of key documents into Greek.[3][4]
