DR DOCUMENTS offers full legal assistance for civil marriages in Peru, whether you are a foreigner, a Peruvian citizen, or a binational couple. We guide you from start to finish—whether your wedding takes place in a municipality or before a Peruvian notary.

Why Get Married in Peru?

Peru is a legally recognized country for civil marriages and offers flexible procedures for both locals and foreign nationals. Many couples choose Peru as their wedding destination due to its accessibility, cultural value, and legal validity of its civil unions both nationally and internationally.

Whether you’re a couple residing in Peru or visiting the country, DR DOCUMENTS helps you meet every requirement and complete your civil marriage process smoothly.

Legal Requirements to Get Married in Peru

General Documents Needed

To register a civil marriage in Peru—whether through a municipality or notary—you’ll need:

  1. Valid passports or Peruvian identification (DNI or CE)

  2. Original birth certificates (apostilled and translated if issued abroad)

  3. Certificate of single status (Certificado de Soltería or No Marriage Certificate)

  4. Proof of legal stay in Peru (for foreigners)

  5. Divorce decree or death certificate (if applicable)

  6. Application form from the municipality or notary

All foreign documents must be apostilled and translated into Spanish by a certified translator.

Additional Notes for Foreigners

Foreign nationals can marry in Peru even as tourists. Some municipalities may request an interview, witness declaration, or additional sworn affidavits.
The process typically takes 7 to 30 business days, depending on the local authority’s procedures and your document readiness.

DR DOCUMENTS can assist from anywhere, offering complete guidance and document handling—so you don’t need to worry about the legal details.
