What do you need?
To get married in Mexico, generally you'll need:
1. Valid passports and tourist cards (FMM).
2. Completed marriage application form.
3. Original birth certificates with apostille seal or consular legalization.
4. Some states may require blood tests.
5. Four witnesses with valid identification.
6. Divorce or death certificates if applicable.
7. Legal capacity to marry document, obtained from your embassy.
8. Translations and notarizations if documents are not in Spanish.
9. Marriage license fee.
Message me for more info in detail if this is the option you want to take.
Firstly you need to decide if you are wanting to get legally married in the United States or in Mexico. I usually recommend to go to the courthouse before your wedding to get a marriage license in the states, This makes the legal process of getting married in Mexico easier. Here is how:
You and your partner must obtain a marriage license from a local county clerk's office in the state where you reside. Requirements for obtaining a marriage license vary by state but generally include presenting valid identification (such as passports or driver's licenses) and paying a fee.
Have a Civil Ceremony in the USA: You must legally marry through a civil ceremony performed by a judge, justice of the peace, or other authorized officiant in the USA. The officiant will sign and file the marriage license with the county clerk's office to officially register your marriage.
Legalization of Marriage Certificate for Use in Mexico: Once you are legally married in the USA, you may need to have your marriage certificate apostilled or legalized by the Secretary of State in the state where the marriage took place. This ensures that the document is recognized internationally.
Requirements for the Wedding Celebration in Mexico: While the legal aspect of your marriage is handled in the USA, you can plan and host your wedding celebration in Mexico. The requirements for hosting a wedding celebration in Mexico typically involve working with a local venue or wedding planner to coordinate logistics such as venue booking, accommodations, catering, and other details related to the celebration itself.
Considerations: It's advisable to check with the specific venue in Mexico where you plan to have your celebration, as they may have their own requirements or recommendations for hosting weddings. Additionally, communicating with local authorities or a wedding planner in Mexico can help ensure that your celebration complies with local regulations and traditions.
