Are you eligible to get married in Iceland?
You have to be 18 years of age.

Condition of having your wedding ceremony in Iceland is to be in the country legally. This you can prove by something that shows date of arrival (like a passport stamp or the airline ticket) or a Visa

Check if you need a visa to travel to Iceland.

You'll need the following paperwork to legally wed in Iceland:

A birth certificate has to be presented.

A valid passport has to be presented

A certificate of marital status has to be presented. Both partners need to submit a certificate of marital status issued by the relevant authority in their country, state or region. The certificate must be issued within 8 weeks prior to the wedding ceremony. Some countries do not issue a certificate of marital status. If that has been confirmed, and the bride/groom is a foreign citizen or residing abroad, a certificate issued by the relevant authorities in their country, confirming that there are no impediments to the planned marriage, is required. This is usually the tricky part. Don't worry, we'll help you out.

An application form from the office of the District Magistrate of Reykjavik has to be filled out and two best men (witnesses, one for each) certifying ability for marriage, must either have written their names on the application form in advance or do it in the office. The best men must be over 18 years old and their birthday/month/year is needed as well as their signature. The best men do not need to be at the weeding, only if you decide so, but as mentioned before full signature/birthday/month/year is needed. This application you will receive from Pink Iceland. We'll send you this form to fill out.

If you have been married before, you have to present a divorce decree (original) It is also necessary to prove that the division of assets and liabilities between the former spouses have been finalized.

If you are widow/widower official documents regarding estate/or collected assets and liabilities of a deceased person has to be presented.

H&L nailed the entertainment for their wedding reception. They had the beautiful thought of introducing the magic of drag to many of their guests who hadn't experienced it before. Drag plays an important and historic role in the queer community and it's safe to say that by the end of the night all the guests who hadn't been familiar with the world of drag fell in love. What a gift to give your guests 😍 Photos by the talented @kristinmarias Performance by the gorgeous @gogo.starr #pinkiceland #icelandwedding #icelandweddingplanner #icelandelopement #iceland #lgbtqwedding #dragqueen #lgbtqia #wlw

It feels good and we are inspired and excited for the season ahead! #icelandwedding #icelandweddingplanner #icelandelopement #iceland
⭐We wish we could give Pink Iceland more than 5 stars!⭐ Pink Iceland is not only a wedding planner, but travel planner as well! Let's hear what R&M had to say about their Iceland Adventure: "We just returned from a thirteen-day trip to Iceland in March 2025, including a seven-day private car tour, which the GREAT FOLKS at Pink Iceland planned and organized for us. We would like to thank Haukur Hallsson, our Pink Iceland travel planner, who worked so diligently with us for eight months to create the perfect Iceland adventure for us – he made great suggestions as to what we should do and where we should go while visiting Iceland. He was very responsive to our questions, always responded promptly, handled all the hotel reservations, purchased all the museum and event tickets, and arranged all private car pick-ups which we greatly appreciated. Many, many thanks to you, Haukur, for all your hard work and planning our behalfWe would also like to thank, Hafsteinn “Haffi” Thorolfsson, our knowledgeable and talented road trip guide, for our amazing trip around Iceland from Reykjavik to Akureyri. Haffi shared his vast knowledge of Icelandic history, music, culture, folklore, and geology with us over the course of our seven-day road trip, which made the trip so much more enjoyable and memorable to us. He also has a lovely singing voice and sang a number of Icelandic songs for us while driving, and even sang the Icelandic national anthem for us in a cave at one of the sites we visited. Finally, we would like to recognized and thank Hannes “Sasi” Palsson, one of the co-owners of Pink Iceland, who took us on our city tour in Reykjavik – it was an honor for us to have one of the co-owners of Pink Iceland escort us on our tour. Thank you, Sasi, for the great afternoon we shared with you learning about the early settlement and history of your beautiful Reykjavik and for the visit to your club where we learned about the LGBTQ+ history of Iceland. All in all, this was the best trip we’ve taken in our 47 years of marriage. Thank you, Pink Iceland, Haukur, Haffi, and Sasi, for truly making this “Robert and Michael’s Amazing Iceland Adventure.” Pink Iceland is the BEST!"
