Getting married in St Lucia

Caribbean nightlife, wildlife, beachlife -- the perfect start to wedded life!

What’s the wedding paperwork?

• Residency The residency period is four days -- after two days you can make an application for a marriage licence, which takes two days to process. You can also apply for a special licence which allows you to waive any residency.
• Proof of ID You’ll need to show your original birth certificates and a valid 10-year passport.
• Divorced If either of you is divorced, you must produce the Decree Absolute with court stamp.
• Widowed If you are widowed the Death Certificate of your deceased spouse is required.
• Age restrictions If either of you is under the age of 18, evidence of parental consent must be produced in the form of a notarised sworn affidavit.
• Name change If your name has been changed by Deed Poll you will be required to produce legal proof stamped and signed by a solicitor. This also applies if a married woman has reverted back to her maiden name.  

How do I obtain a marriage licence?

Application to be married in St Lucia must be made to the Attorney General (see Where can I find further information?) who will issue a marriage licence after a two-day residency period. A special licence requires no period of residency.
