Civil Wedding Ceremony
There are two types of marriages in Mexico -- Legal and Ceremonial/Religious..
If you want your Costa Maya marriage legalized in the country that
you live in, there are legal procedures that must be followed:
-
Must be performed by a legal judge with the authority
to make your marriage legal
-
Bride and Groom must be present in Mexico several
days in advance in order to get blood tests and to have legal documents
translated
-
Birth Certificates: These will need to be certified
and translated by an approved translator. This can be done here
in Mexico or contact your nearest Mexican Consulate for details
regarding Quintana Roo.
-
-
Legal documentation showing parents name (in Mexico,
your marriage cannot be recorded without your parents names)
-
Legal documents - these differ depending on country
of origin and previous marriage history (divorced, widowed, etc.)
-
Passport: valid for at least 6 months and a copy
of same (both the bride and groom).
-
Immigration form: Original copies of the tourist
permit which was completed at the port of entry or other resident
permit (visa, FM3, FM2, etc.)
-
Divorce Decree / Death Certificate: If the woman
was previously married, or either partner is widowed, copies of
the Divorce Decree or Death Certificate, if applicable, will be
required for presentation. This too must be translated into Spanish.
-
In Quintana Roo, the State where Mayan Beach Garden
is located in, women (not men) who have been previously married
may not remarry for 300 calendar days following the date of the
final decree of divorce unless during that time they have given
birth or can prove "by medical dictate" that they are
not pregnant.
-
Four Witnesses -- either Mexican Nationals or foreign
persons with FM3s
Religious Ceremony
If the list above looks daunting, don't despair. You can have
a beautiful Religious ceremony which can take any form you like
and does not require formal documentation or blood tests. You
then register your marriage at the justice of the peace or other
legal office in your own country.

"I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful hospitality! The day was perfect....and when we look back it, it was definitely a highlight of our trip.
Last night when we arrived home around midnight (after traveling all day) I rushed in to see the pictures you had sent. Bob and I so enjoyed re-living that day and some of the shots Heather captured were priceless. Thanks for a remarkable day! You will definitely get some good PR from the Harrises!! (March 2009)" |
