Civil marriage in the town hall of Palafrugell

Any couple that has authorisation to be married from the Magistrate’s Court and who wish to be married by the mayor or any town councillor of the Palafrugell Municipal Government may request to do so.

This can be processed online, following the instructions on this same page, or in person in the Oficina de Antención Ciudadana (Citizen’s Advice and Information Office – OAC) of the Municipal Government, presenting the following documentation:

Application form, which must indicate the details of the marital parties, the day, the time and the place of the ceremony
Photocopy of the Identity Documents of the marital parties
Photocopy of the Identity Documents of two witnesses
Name of the Court where the wedding process has been started and the file number

The marriage ceremony certificate is made once it is signed by the marital parties and the witnesses, after which the Municipal Government will send the document to the civil registry.

The mayor or councillor who officiates the ceremony can travel to the hotel establishments in the municipality.

The request can be presented online in this link.

Or in person at: Oficina d’Atenció Ciutadana (OAC). Avinguda Josep Pla, 9

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 to 13:30
