How do I obtain a marriage licence?
Application for a licence should be made at the Prime Minister’s Office after the necessary stamp duty and licence fees have been paid. This process takes approximately two days (slightly longer if either of you is divorced, as your documents must then be sent to The Ministry of Legal Affairs ‐‐ see Where can I find further information?).
