MONTSERRAT MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS
The following rules and guidelines apply to getting married in Montserrat:
For couples wishing to marry in Montserrat, there are three certificates, which can be granted before the marriage can be performed:
-the special or Governors License,
-certificates of due publication of banns and
-the Registrar General’s certificate.
A minimum stay of three working days in Montserrat is required before application can be made to obtain a special or Governors Marriage License. This license is the most appealing to most visitors as it does not entail an extended waiting period. Banns however, must be published for three Sundays before the certificate is issued, while for the Registrars certificate; a notice has to be posted for twenty-one days. Application for the special or Governors license is made through the Department of Administration.
Applicants must have the following documents:
- Marriage Application Form (issued by the Department of Administration),
- Passports of both parties,
- Original Absolute Divorce Decree (if divorced),
- Original Death Certificate of deceased spouse (if widowed),
- Non-Marriage Certificate (if applicable).
PLEASE NOTE: All documents must be originals
- All applicants under the age of eighteen years would need written parental consent for the marriage to take place.
- No blood test or medical certificate is required.
- Any documents presented in any language apart from English must be presented with a certified translation into the English language.
- Processing of the application takes approximately three working days to one week.
- The cost of the license is EC$ 200.00, which must be paid in Montserrat stamps.
The Application Form is obtainable in Montserrat but may be sent to the applicant in advance. Applicants must complete the form and have it certified before submission. Applications must state when they wish to be married, the type of ceremony, i.e. religious or civil, and the venue, if they choose a civil ceremony (i.e. performed by the Registrar).
Persons wishing to marry in Montserrat by special or Governor’s license should contact the Department of Administration soon after their arrival on island so that they can be properly advised.
If the couple should choose to be married in a civil ceremony, the Registrar will perform the ceremony. Enquiries can be made at the Registrars Office, Government Headquarters, Brades, Montserrat.
A copy of the signed registration of marriage is given to the couple after the ceremony, but the official marriage certificate must be obtained at the Registry at a fee of $20.00, in Montserrat stamps. Please ensure that you get your certificate before leaving the island.
