Legal Requirements - Antigua
Local authorities are most cooperative
and have simplified arrangement for marriage and renewal of vows on Antigua. There is a
24-hour residency requirement, to include at least one business day (Monday – Thursday,
if you arrive on Friday you will marry on the next Tuesday). If neither person has been
married before, birth certificates are sufficient; otherwise, a former spouses death
certificate or divorce decree is needed.
At the Ministry of Legal Affairs in downtown St. Johns, you meet for a friendly
interview where you present the necessary legal paperwork and submit the Marriage
Application (application will be completed prior to your meeting at Jumby Bay).
You will proceed to The High Court where you meet with a Marriage Officer who
will review your application, issue a Marriage License and set the date, time and
place for the ceremony.
On the date of your destination wedding, the marriage officer will come to Jumby
Bay to perform a civil ceremony. A non-denominational religious ceremony is also
possible and our wedding coordinator will gladly advise you of the officiant available.
Please note that all documents you are required to furnish must bear legal names,
otherwise an affidavit is needed stating that one or the other is known by a different
name. Passports are required and if either person has been divorced, the original
(or a notarized copy) of the divorce decree must be presented. |
