We were in the Mayan Riviera. We had excellent weather and a fabulous time!! Thanx We did end up choosing to have our certificate legalized there. We had a meeting with our wedding coordinator before reading your response and she convinced us that our certificate would only be recognized in Mexico unless we have it apostiled (then it will be recognized internationally). She said that we could leave it with her or have it done at the Mexican Embassy in Canada, but that they would have to send it back to Mexico anyways. Your response gave us the peace of mind we needed after making our decision. I will be changing my name so I'm sure I will need to have the legalized certificate. Thank you again ~cheryl

Thanks so much for your response, Karen. You really helped us out

I'm hoping someone is able to quickly answer a question for us as we are heading home from our Mexican wedding tomorrow. Our wedding coordinator asked if we wanted to have our wedding certificate apostilized here in Mexico for $150 USD. Would anyone happen to know if it's better to have it legalized here or have the paperwork done at home (in Canada)? I'm assuming it also needs to be translated for any name changes etc., but don't know if it must be legalized before translation or after (or both). Sorry I didn´t have time to search through all the posts. Thanks

Hi everyone! I just learned about this site and am excited to do some last minute research on to-dos and tricks about destination weddings. We're getting married at the Grand Bahia Principe Akumal in the Mayan Riviera on Aug. 21 '09!! So far we have nothing but praise for the wedding coordinator there. Everything seems to be running along smoothly. I'm looking forward to sharing stories and advice! Cheryl from Brampton, ON
