Getting a copy of your Jamaica Marriage Certificate

I just wanted to update that I was able to change my social security card and my driver's license with the certified copy of the marriage register that the minister gave us after our ceremony at the ROR. The DMV sort of questioned it since it didn't have a raised seal, but once they saw it was from out of the country, they just accepted it. Insurance was also super easy, they didn't even need to see any documentation! I am glad I tried to change everything now rather than wait the MONTHS the official license is going to take. I feel officially married now!

We were married at the Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort in June (5-12, 2009) and just received our marriage certificates about 2 weeks ago. Jascynthia, the wedding co-ordinator (whom I understand is no longer the wedding co-ordinator) told us 6-8 weeks, and it was pretty much double that and then some.....but we did receive it nonetheless (without having to call and follow up about where it was).....

Petals....did you get the little gift the resort advised would be sent when you received your marriage certificate?? We didn't. No big deal, I'm just happy the Certificate arrived!

I finally got my marriage certificate and it was not from the resort it was from me ordering it from the website...I think the original must have gotten lost since we moved after the wedding and it was never forwarded

***** UPDATE *****

I finally got my certificates from the Registrar's Office, TODAY!!!!

You guys have scared me and have me thinking about doing a legal (unofficial) ceremony here before I leave. Definitely something to think about.

Holy Schmoly... not looking forward to this process!! Hopefully I can do the name change with the official copy here in Canada...
