Marriage Requirements

Couples who wish to get married in Bermuda must file a "Notice of Intended Marriage" with the Registry General, accompanied by a fee of $205 (in the form of a bank check or money order, not a personal check). Make the draft out to "The Accountant General" and mail or deliver it in person to the Registry General, Government Administration Building, 30 Parliament St., Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda (tel. 441/297-7709). Bermuda Department of Tourism offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and New York distribute "Notice of Intended Marriage" forms. If either of the prospective marriage partners has been married before, that person must attach a photocopy of the final divorce decree to the "Notice of Intended Marriage."

Once the Registry General receives the "Notice of Intended Marriage," it will be published, including names and addresses, in any two of the island's newspapers. Assuming that there is no formal objection, the registry will issue the license 15 days after receiving the notice. Airmailing your completed notice to Bermuda takes 6 to 10 days, so plan accordingly. The marriage license will be sent to you and will be valid for 3 months.

Please Remember:

Destination weddings take considerable planning and research, and the best properties & accommodations often book far in advance of the wedding date. The earlier you begin planning your wedding, the greater the likelihood you will be able to book the perfect property for you and your guests.
