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 fiance. 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.

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.

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.
