You can get married in the Registry’s Office, City Hall, Top of the Rock, hotels, restaurants, and other locations around Gibraltar. There is a list of approved venues and the prices are different for each location.

If you are a citizen from a visa-free country, you do not need a visa for the wedding application or to enter Gibraltar. If you are citizen from a visa-required country, then you will need a visa for the wedding. Check if you are required a visa for Gibraltar on http://www.gibraltarborder.gi/visa

The marriage certificates will not be delivered to you immediately. It will take about 20-30 working days to be posted to your address, then you need to consider the post office time to deliver and any other possible delays. However, you will receive a letter after your marriage stating that you got married, this should be enough for you to be able to return to your country of residence.

The Civil Status & Registration Office will check for potential fake documentation and suspicious applications that could indicate sham marriages. Should it be necessary to investigate an application further, you may be contacted by the Royal Gibraltar Police or the law enforcement authorities in your country of residence.

Gibraltar does not have a matrimonial property regime as such and there is no community of property. Marriage does not therefore have a proprietary effect. The UK (and consequently Gibraltar) also opted out of the EU Matrimonial Property Regulation [2016/1103]. However, whilst there is no matrimonial property regime as such, it should be noted that the court has wide discretionary powers to make various financial relief orders in the context of divorce proceedings, including property adjustment orders, lump sum orders and orders for maintenance. It is important to mention divorce processes are to be handled in your country of residence, and not in the country where you got married as local legislation will apply.
