Form A
Initial questionnaire for the bride and groom. Each party must be interviewed alone, and only the priest/deacon/pastoral minister will propose the questions and write the given answers.
Form B
Affidavit regarding the free status of the bride or groom. Two witnesses for each party must be interviewed using this Affidavit. Parental testimony is always preferred and should only be neglected for grave reasons.
Form C
Dispensation from canonical form for a mixed marriage. If the marriage is to take place in another diocese, the priest/deacon must request the dispensation at least one month in advance to allow time to contact the local ordinary of the place where the marriage is to take place. A Dispensation from Canonical Form must always originate in the parish and diocese in which the Catholic party has a domicile, or quasi-domicile, regardless of the city or diocese where the ceremony takes place.
