The Notice of Intent to Marry (Ehevorbereitungsverfahren in German) is a fundamental document in the Swiss marriage process, required by Article 98 of the Swiss Civil Code. This document must be submitted to the civil registry office in the place of residence of either party at least 3 months before the intended marriage date but no earlier than 6 months before. The notice includes detailed personal information about both parties, their civil status, nationality, and residence, along with declarations regarding legal impediments to marriage. It serves multiple purposes: officially declaring the couple's intention to marry, initiating the legal review process, and providing authorities with necessary information to verify marriage eligibility. The document is particularly important in Switzerland's multi-cultural context, where international marriages are common and require careful verification of legal requirements across jurisdictions.
