If original documents are missing at that personal registration, it may happen, that the registry office refuses a wedding appointment. Nevertheless, in such a case, our service is considered satisfied, because you are responsible for the accuracy of the data submitted and completeness of all entrained documents.

The arrangement charge paid to our agency will not be refunded in case you do not show up at the wedding appointment. Please note Terms and Conditions
