Getting married in Mauritius

White sands washed by clear, turquoise water, a warm breeze playing through the palms... what could be more romantic that a beachside wedding in Mauritius?

How do I obtain a marriage licence?

If you are holding a civil ceremony, at least 10 days before the wedding you must obtain a certificate stating that you are not a resident from the Registrar of Marriages (see Where can I find further information?). This must be accompanied by copies of the documents outlined in What’s the wedding paperwork?

If you have chosen to have a religious wedding, your original documents will be required six weeks before -- eight weeks before if you are of different religions -- as the case must go to the local Bishop.

Where can I find further information?
