Plan your Wedding for St Kitts or Nevis
Spring will soon be here, the traditional time for weddings and romance. Here is some information on getting married on St Kitts. First, it’s easy - no residency required. Second, The Justice of the Peace may assess a fee. Third, you only need a license ($200 XCD) and the following documents:
*A valid passport or photo ID.
*Original or certified copy of Birth Certificate.
*If you have never been married before, an Affidavit confirming single status.
*If divorced, a decree absolute (an original or certified copy showing court’s stamp or seal) must be presented.
*If widowed, a copy of the death certificate of the deceased spouse must be presented.
Religious Details:
*If a catholic priest is to perform the ceremony:
Couple must receive marriage counselling sessions from their parish priest and submit the required Catholic documents. A letter must come from the couple’s resident priest verifying that they are unmarried and that they have received the necessary instructions. All Catholic weddings take place in the church.
*If an Anglican or other minister of religion is to perform the ceremony:
*It is recommended that a letter be brought from the couple’s resident minister verifying that they are known and unmarried.
Your Ceremony can be held in your hotel, in a church of your choice, among historic ruins, in a scenic island spot with panoramic view - or, of course, on the beach.
