If you are not getting married at the resort, you will need to send your documents to Civil Marriage For preparation of the Marriage Certificate, submit the following documents to the Civil Status Office before the ceremony: Original passport with photocopy of the identification page, and the last entries to the country; Affidavits of marital status, certifying that the bride and groom are single; Original birth certificates; Divorce Certificate(s) or Death Certificate(s), if applicable; and Two or more witnesses with valid passports, other than family. They will let you know when you documents need to be submited and pay the fee required.

What questions do you have?

You're welcome. Planning to come to Saint Lucia. I'm actually working remotely from here.

@@sandramorris1339 yesss. I will be there June 2024. I would love to speak with you. When is a good time. Can you send me your what's app please

Hi, I doesn't matter if one partner is not jamaican. If you want a legal wedding, you just hae bring the proper docmentation and you can get married. let me know if this answers your questions

Hi, since you booked with a travel agency do you have a contracted room block for your guest? If so the rooms will be there. If you don't have a room block then you can use FOMO- Fear that the rooms won't be available or prices will go up. It's never too early to book and doing it early will give them more time to pay.

Hi, If you are doing a civil ceremony it will be in Spanish and all your documents will have to be translated and authorized by Dominican Consulate (except for passport). Also your official documents must be apostilled by your Secretary of State Office. If you are getting married at a resort they will help you with the documents.

@@eventtrailltravel no not at a resort just a judge at the court I guess I’m in ny he’s Dominican what is apposille where is tht done in us or DR?

@@deedunleavy Hi, I'm sorry but I only work with the resorts and I don't know the details of where to go in DR. If your fiance is Dominican he can go to court house/Judge to obtain the necessary information required.

@@eventtrailltravel ok thank u we just want a simple court civil quick ceremony this is not our first rodeo lol I’m just trying to find out about the paperwork from the states here n how this all gets translated so confused

@@eventtrailltravel yes I just spoke to him he happens to work 12 hours a day 6/7 days a week at the supermarket been there for 22 years so we are doing our best to get this done

I don't think that is required but I will have to double check to make sure I'm giving you the right information. Let me know if you need any help. It's eaiser to get married at a resort because they take care of the license and make sure everything is taken care of before you arrive.

@@eventtrailltravel thank you. I will be in touch

I am giving copies of my English version of my birth certificate and passport just in case they need it but I highly doubt that but just in case

Hi Sashi, I'm not sure what the requirements are for your English documents are. Are you working with a resort or getting married on your own. I work with the resorts only and the wedding dept takes care of the couples documents.

@@eventtrailltravel getting married on my own

🤸‍♂️

Bro what she was never flexing.. and she was never being rude so that doesn’t give you the right to be rude to her

Hi, I don’t know what the immigration laws are if your wife is Dominican. You will need to file for her to get visa to come to US. Don’t know how long that process takes,

Hi Samanta, I don't know why a birth certificate would not qualify to get apostille. I rely on the resorts to advise the couple on what is needed to have a legal wedding. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.

I Nicole, I don't know what the actual process is in DR or if there is a process in the US. I rely on the resorts to help the couple get the required documents for a legal wedding.

@@eventtrailltravel Ahh, gotcha. I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole calling all over the place and the only company I can find in the DR that does it doesn’t call back. Wish me luck! 😂

Hi Mirlande, this is the information from US Embassy of DR-Hope this helps. General Requirements for Foreigners to Marry in the Dominican Republic In order to get married in the Dominican Republic, a man and a woman must be of a certain minimum age (16 for men, 15 for women), be legally eligible to marry, and be entering into the marriage contract of their own free will. Failure to comply with any of these basic criteria could mean that Dominican authorities will decline to register the marriage as legal. Additionally, foreigners who wish to get married in the Dominican Republic must comply with the following requirements and present the following documentation: The original passport and copies of the passport bio-page; Copies of last entries stamps; Proof of Dominican residence (if not a resident of the Dominican Republic, an additional fee applies and tourist card must be presented); Sworn declaration before a notary public, of being single and eligible to marry; the sworn declaration then needs to be legalized at the Offices of Procuraduría General de La República. If the Sworn declaration is done before a U.S. notary, it then needs to be legalized at the closest Dominican Consulate in the U.S. (In the past, the U.S. Embassy allowed U.S. citizens to swear such an affidavit of eligibility to marry before a U.S. consular officer. The Embassy discontinued this practice several years ago, however, because local officials were interpreting these documents as meaning that the Embassy had actually verified the content of the citizens’ statements, when in fact the consular officer was merely attesting to the fact that the individual in question had made the statement. U.S. citizens needing to comply with this requirement should instead present themselves to a Dominican notary -as specified above-.) Copy of foreign birth certificate and a legal translation of the certificate; central authorities in both the United States and the Dominican Republic now authenticate their own public documents, such as birth, death or marriage certificates, with a certificate of apostille (name of the authentication stamp). You can get your document apostille at the office of Vital Records in your state, or visit www.italiamerica.org/vital_records.htm. If divorced, copy of the divorce certificate and legal translation of the certificate; 2 witnesses (not family). Additionally, Dominican law requires that notice of the intended marriage must be published prior to the ceremony. Fees Celebration of marriages at the Civil Registry Office “Oficialia Civil”: Both the bride and groom are foreigners not residents of the Dominican Republic - RD $20,000.00 One is a foreigner not resident of the Dominican Republic - RD $10,000.00 Both the bride and groom are foreigners residents of the Dominican Republic - RD $3,000.00 Celebration of marriages outside the Civil Registry Office (if the Civil Registry Officer goes somewhere else than the “Oficialia Civil” to celebrate the marriage): Both the bride and groom are foreigners not residents of the Dominican Republic - RD $20,000.00 One is a foreigner not resident of the Dominican Republic - RD $15,000.00 Both the bride and groom are foreigners residents of the Dominican Republic - RD $10,000.00

Correct

Hi Victoria, the wedding department at your resort should help you get all your document legalized. You have to send them in 3-6 months before so they can be processed. All documents must be translated and legalized by the Dominican Consulate prior to arriving in the Dominican Republic, except for the Passports. The Judge will duly register your Wedding Certificate at the Central Civil Board and legalize it with the Foreign Affairs Department of the Dominican Republic. Documents needed Valid passport. Original Birth Certificate. Notarized Single Status Affidavit for each one. If previously married, copy of legalized/sealed Divorce Act or Death Certificate. Certificate adoption, if applicable. Parental authorization, if applicable.

The thing is that I’m not getting married in a resort. Its at my grandmothers house and that’s why I’m struggling because I don’t know what legalize my paper is

@@eventtrailltravel thank you so much

Hi, I think that would be best getting single status in the US. The resort will require the necessary documents a couple of months before you arrive.

Hi! Thank you. I have called Washington DC for questions last month about this. They have sent me a list of the documents I will be needed. They said I will have to apostille my birth certificate, my divorce decree, and my FBI record. Today I had sent my fiancé to the embassy of Santiago to asked questions, and also to present his documents to them, for them to tell him what missing. They have said to him, I don’t need to apostille my stuffs, I just need to bring my birth certificate, my pasport with a copy. Divorce decree, and my citizenship certificate, plus $500.I don’t what is the $500 is for. I don’t know if it’s safe to mail my documents to them.

Yes, the resort will let you know what you need to do and the cost and take care of all the required paperwork and filings. You just need to send they the required documents.
