Documentation Question

[ltwillia]

I know that we are going to have to send them things like birth certificates and divorce decrees...do they have to be the originals? I would like to just send a copy and show the originals when we arrive. I am not to keen on sending my original birth certificate. I even had a problem with sending it to get my passport. I was really nervous.

Hi, Our TA told us that we sent photo copies of the reqired documentation 12 weeks before we arrive and take our originals with us. She also told us that our Birth certifiates and decree absolute needed to be certified by a solicitor.

Thanks for that information.

I did as stated above. After I sent them in a couple to verify that they received them and that they were fine. I am bringing the orignals also. Just to be safe. Cause I want to get married when I get there. LOL that is my main reason for going besides the beautiful surroundings.

We just sent notarized copies of our birth certificates and didn't take the originals with us. We had absolutely no problems with the documents.

It's recommended that you send notorized copies ( and yes, each & every page needs to be notorized/certified)and sent in to Sandals 60 days prior or you'l pay a late fee of $ 150.00. It's recommended that you send them certified mail and have a recieved confirmation. I've never had a problem for my brides but it's not to say it won't happen!

 

For Jamaica that is all you need- for Antigua , St. Lucia, Turks & Caicos and the Bahamas you will need to hand carry the originals with you in addition to sending the paperwork in!
