MINIMAL CONDITION FOR MARRIAGE

The biggest advantage that Saint Lucia has over other Caribbean islands is the availability of a flexible marriage. Before now, couples had to be on the island for 48 hours before receiving a marriage certificate. However, the country has recently made it easier to marry. Now couples can marry on the coast after a few hours. Inevitably, only certified copies of birth certificates, divorce certificate and adoption certificate (if applicable), a death certificate (for widows/widowers) and a valid passport are what is needed to initiate a wedding. If the blood test requirements of Puerto Rico, Mexico and San Martin discourage you, do not worry, in St. Lucia, none are required.

St. Lucia is a perfect destination for romantic and fantastic weddings, honeymoons and lovers’ anniversaries. Enjoy and have fun as you visit St. Lucia for any of your ceremonies.
