Anguilla
"Tranquility Wrapped in Blue" — Tying the knot on Anguilla is as easy, relaxed and romantic as the island itself. You can marry on a cay, on a boat, at sunset, in a church, on a beach, in a restaurant or on the grounds of a luxurious resort, your own private villa, or a picturesque Caribbean hideaway hotel.
MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Couples marry under the authority of a special license that takes approximately two working days to process. Both parties must present proof of citizenship of their resident country. These documents are the same documents that you will need to fulfill your entry requirements when visiting Anguilla; your passport or an original birth certificate accompanied by photo identification such as a driver's license. Two witnesses are required. If applicable, a divorce or death certificate must be present.
If one partner resides in Anguilla for at least fifteen days before the date of marriage, the cost of the license is US$40. If the stay is shorter, then the cost of the license is $284 (representing stamp duty).
If you plan to marry in Anguilla, contact the Minister and then the Magistrate at 264-497-2377 or 264-497-3477.
Please note, marriage requirements for a wedding in the Catholic Church also require: Confirmation papers; Baptismal certificate; Freedom to marry papers; Pre Cana course; 3-6 months advance notice.
