Marriage Requirements

1. Register to be married with the Oficialia del Estado Civil (City Clerk).

A fee of approximately $125 is required for registration and there is no waiting period.

The following paperwork must be submitted:
-Passports
-Original copies of birth certificates
-Single Status Affidavits that have been translated by an official translator into Spanish at the Dominican Consulate where the document was issued.
-If divorced, the person(s) will require Divorce Certificate(s) that have been translated by an official Translator into Spanish at the Dominican Consulate where the document was issued.

2. Contact the resort to reserve a judge.

3. Organize two witnesses to be present during the marriage.
Besides the person who will perform the ceremony, two witnesses over the age of 18 must be present during the marriage. If these witnesses are not Dominican Republic residents, they will require passports to verify their identity. If the witnesses are residents, they will require identification cards to verify their identity.

4. Request Marriage Certificate.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom will be given a document that confirms the wedding took place. A Marriage Certificate must be requested from the local Justice of the Peace and will usually be ready a day or two after the ceremony. This document is legal and recognized everywhere in the world.

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.
