The municipality is preparing for a wedding celebration on Trolltunga on Friday, August 21st, this year as well.
We hope for a warm and nice day, but we cannot promise you that. Everyone must therefore also take into account that it can be bad weather,and must wear clothes and shoes for cold temperature, rain and wind. It is a relatively long walk to Trolltunga and all couples must walk - both ways. You must calculate 4 hours one way - that is 8 hours to walk. Everyone must also bring food and drinks for their own use.
We will be present from 2:00 PM on this day. We encourage people to start the trip early enough, and book parking up at P3 (Top.) It may be a good idea to have a small tent in the backpack.
Those who are getting married often wonder if they need to bring witnesses. It is not necessary - we who work for Ullensvang municipality up there can be witnesses in the ceremony.
The weddings are not set up in any order for each couple. We handle everything up there. and it works perfectly!
The number of couples can be limited.
Marriage certificate from the Norwegian Tax Administration
We must have a Norwegian marriage certificate from the couple, which shows that there are no obstacles to the marriage. Norwegian couples usually receive their marriage certificate quickly.
For those from other countries, it usually takes longer to get this document from the Norwegian Tax Administration. It often takes at least 5 - 6 weeks because they do not have a Norwegian personal identity number and this cannot be done digitally for that reason. It is important to note that the casemanager cannot help with obtaining a valid Norwegian marriage certificate, all couples must arrange this themselves. Foreign citizens may also need to be approved for marriage in their own country before they can receive a Norwegian marriage certificate from the Norwegian Tax Administration
What is important to note, and which applies to all couples, is that this document is only valid for four - 4 - months from the time it is issued by the Norwegian Tax Administration. One must therefore adjust the time of their application to the Tax Administration, so that the date of the wedding is within the applicable time period.
A valid test certificate issued in Norway is an absolute requirement
