Both partners must present valid identification. The City Hall accepts Swedish identification cards and passports. If you or your partner do not have Swedish identification, you will need to show your passports. 


Step 7: Extra information

  • Not allowed to throw rice, flower petals, or confetti. However, soap bubbles and sparklers are usually acceptable.

  • Be there at least 15 minutes before your wedding; sometimes, you may need to wait outside if there is a large crowd.

  • We recommend booking your wedding during the daytime if you are also hiring a photographer and videographer, as the pictures and videos turn out better in natural daylight.

If you book a wedding photographer and videographer through Video House Stockholm you can choose to have your photos taken before or after the ceremony in the beautiful City Hall.
