LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

  • For the wedding ceremony or the renewal of the vows you need the following documents:
  • Passports
  • Birth Certificates with an "Apostille" attached
    If you are a US Citizen, you need an "Apostille", which is a form of international certification. The "Apostil" is requested from the entity who registered births in the county or state you were born at (usually the Secretary of State or the Department of Health). You will need to send your birth certificate to such entity, along with a letter stating that you are getting married in Mexico and that you need an Apostil. They will attach this "Apostil" to the birth certificate and will then return the documents to you.
  • In case you are a Canadian Citizen, you must get your birth certificates legalized by the Mexican Embassy or Consulate in Canada.
  • If you are British, you need to contact the Legalization Department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
  • The Judge might keep the birth certificates, thus we recommend you to bring certified copies rather than the originals.
  • The birth certificates do not need to be translated into Spanish. In case the Judge requests to have a Spanish version, they will have to be translated in Mexico by an official local translator (at an extra charge).
  • Copy of divorce decree (in case you are divorced)
  • Tourist cards - which every foreigner obtains on the aircraft on the way down to Mexico.
  • Please note that the judge will NOT perform the legal ceremony if he does not receive all the necessary documents.
  • Blood test - it has to be made at the hotel in Mexico and it costs 154 USD per couple (to be paid in cash to the doctor).
  • 4 witnesses with their picture ID (passport or driver's license) and a copy of their tourist card, which they will receive on the airplane. In case you do not bring any witnesses, the hotel will provide them.
  • Important
    The bride and groom and their witnesses have to be in Mexico for at least 4 working days before the wedding, to get all the necessary legal papers arranged.
  • The judge does NOT accept ceremonies for: Sundays, Easter week, the 1st and 2nd of November, the 24th and 25th of December and the 1st of January.

Please note that once you get the marital contract you have to inform your local authorities about the change of marital status and proceed to register your marriage.
