Legal requirements for getting married in St. Kitts & Nevis

This is a lovely location for a wedding, especially for couples who want to keep the ceremony and reception bright, breezy and casual.

It will take two days to get the marriage license. The documentation required is a birth certificate or passport.

If either party was previously married, proof of divorce or the death certificate of the deceased spouse is required.

If a Catholic priest is to perform the ceremony, the couple must present a letter from their priest at home. The letter should state that the couple is known to the priest. It must further state that the priest knows the couple to be unmarried.

Likewise, if an Anglican priest or priest of any other denomination is to perform the ceremony, a letter from the couple’s home priest is required stating that they are known to the priest and confirming that they are unmarried.

The license will cost US$80. No blood tests are required.
