THE ST. REGIS BAHÍA BEACH, RÍO GRANDE
Our cosmopolitan Caribbean island lends a new twist to the phrase
“Something Old, Something New”. Puerto Rico is a 523 year old
island and whether you envision your destination wedding as
romantic and charming or opulent and luxurious, Puerto Rico has
everything you could wish for; from our centuries-old forts, intimate
antique churches, majestic mountains, blue-green oceans lapping
at pristine beaches to fi ve-star resorts with celebrity chefs. You can
even get married in a spectacular subterranean cavern or say your
vows while skydiving!
Your wedding party has a host of activities to choose from – world-
class golf, pampering spas, horseback riding and ziplining for the
young at heart, sightseeing, museums or just lounging.
Few islands in the Caribbean are as accessible – no U.S. passport
required for U.S. citizens – or as romantic as Puerto Rico for your
special day in paradise.

Residency Requirements
RECEIVING YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Each of you must provide a medical certifi cate that shows you have
complied with tests required for marriage in your place of residence.
Be aware that this certifi cation is only valid for ten (10) days from
the date of issuance. After ten days, you would have to get a new
certifi cate in order to get married.
Although passports are not required for U.S. citizens traveling to
Puerto Rico, the bride and groom need a valid photo ID, which can
be a passport, state-issued ID, a visa, or green card.
If you are divorced or widowed, an original of the corresponding
offi cial documents is necessary.
Purchase an Internal Revenue stamp at the Treasury Department
offi ce. This will be affi xed to the license to authenticate the document.
Once the proper documents are submitted at the Demographic
Registry and revised for compliance by the registrar, the marriage
certifi cate will be issued and signed. It’s very important you bring the
license to the wedding ceremony!
The offi ciant at the wedding must deliver the certifi cate, marriage
license and all other documents to the Demographic Registry of the
municipality where the ceremony took place no more than 10 days
after the marriage. Within two weeks of fi ling, the couple will be
issued the marriage certifi cate.
KEEP IN MIND THAT A WEDDING COORDINATOR CAN MAKE ALL
THESE ARRANGEMENTS.
In order to record your offi cial name, be sure to bring originals of
both birth certifi cates.
There are no residency requirements in order to be married in Puerto
Rico but non-residents must submit an affi davit or sworn statement
that the sole purpose of their visit is to get married. Non-U.S. citizens
must include in this affi davit that they will not be staying in Puerto
Rico longer than established in the visa or federal entrance permit
to U.S. territory. If the affi davit is not written by a lawyer, it must be
accompanied by the certifi cate of the County Clerk of the state to
certify that she/he is qualifi ed to notarize documents in your state
and have the embossed seal. If it is issued in a foreign country, it
must be accompanied by the Apostille seal.
Generally, within ten days of the offi ciant having submitted all the
documents required, your marriage certifi cate will be available.
Below are several options to get your marriage certifi cate. Choose
the one that is easiest for you.
1. Go online to www.pr.gov to order a copy of your marriage
certifi cate. Instructions are available in English and Spanish.
There is a small fee payable with a credit card.
2. Write an authorization letter giving permission to an individual
(your wedding planner, the offi ciant) to pick up the marriage
certifi cate and mail it to you. A copy of both of your photo IDs
must accompany this letter.
3. Order your marriage certifi cate through www.vitalchek.com.
There is a fee for this service.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
Before you arrive in Puerto Rico, be sure to have all these documents which you will submit at the Demographic Registry.
