Hi, Our wedding is on 9th May so a bit before yours I think. I'm glad to hear that you don't need translation. Was just a bit worried as have had some issues with FC. Have you heard back from your WC? Ours is Eugenia and still nothing - am very annoyed to be honest. I know that they have a lot of weddings etc but it is very close.

Hi everyone, We are getting married at Akumal in May. I am a Canadian national and my partner is a British national. We were told by First Choice (our tour operator) that my partner (who is british) doesn't need to legalise or translate his long birth certificate & divorce certificate. We have had issues with them so I would like to find out what others experiences have been. I have asked our coordinator Eugenia but haven't heard back from her - getting very anxious considering its now less than 4 months away! I also don't want to spend money if its not definitely needed. When all you brides on this forum got married at the Akumal resort (British or Canadian nationals) what did you need to do with regards to your documents? thanks so much for your help, Miriam

Hi, PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!! We booked our wedding at the Grand Bahia Principe Akumal - we are due to get married in just under 4 months (9th May). Anyway I have emailed Eugenia quite a few times with no response. I recognise that she is busy but I really need to know a few important things in particular - I'm hoping someone here can help me ASAP. When we booked with FC in July the weddings department told us that my partner (who is a British national) DID NOT need to have his passport, long birth certificate and divorce certificate translated into Spanish & notarised. We have had some issues with FC so I would rather get definitive guidance from Eugenia on this. I have sent these emails to her with no response. I am still going to wait for her response (so I have this all documented) but can anyone let me know what their experiences were - if you are British, were you required to have your documents (as above) translated & notarised? What firm did you use to do this? What were the estimated costs? Thanks so much for your help, Miriam Berger
