There are 2 different ways to gather your paperwork:
*First way*
Send your birth certificates
and your divorce if any for Apostille stamps (total 3
stamps) to your Secretary of State
and
contact your
US Embassy in Athens to give you an Affidavit, 2 papers in
total, 1 for you and 1 for your fiancé. You can contact the
embassy here 91 Vasilissis Sophias Avenue, Athens 10160,
Greece, Telephone: 30-210-721-2951 and email them here
AthensAmEmb@state.gov
*Second
way*
1.
Marriage license from your country (we know it is valid
only in the USA but we still require this)
2.
Bride's and Groom's copy of their passports
and you must be older than 18 years old.
(If you will have your own witnesses, we require a copy of
their passports as well).
3.
Birth certificates the long form for both
with all the information in print and not
handwritten.
4.
Single Status letter from your State registrar.
5.
A notary public statement saying you are free to marry. To
see how it looks like, please

6.
Divorce Certificate (final decree) or Death
Certificate if any. (If the bride and/or groom have been
divorced, a divorce decree is needed. The bride may not
marry if she has been divorced for less than 10 months.)
7.
If you have changed your name, we need the court certificate
for that.
8.
Apostille stamp for each US paper separately from your State
Department.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATES NEED THE APOSTILLE
STAMP FROM THE STATE THEY ARE ISSUED AND NOT FROM THE STATE
YOU LIVE.
For more information please

9.
ALL papers must
be translated and authenticated ONLY by a Greek Embassy or
Consultant OR via our agency. NO OTHER SOURCE IS ACCEPTABLE.
10. You have to be in Santorini 1 working day after the
wedding to register the wedding and the Town Hall will send
you the marriage certificate by post.
Because in every State the certificates and apostille looks
different, we didn't publish samples to avoid confusion.
