Legal Jamaica wedding?


Recommended Posts

Can someone lead me in the right direction? :-) If I am getting married in Jamaica but live in CA, do I apply for a CA marriage license? I am sending a required notarized copy of birth certs to Jamaica but not sure what to do? I want this legal! lol...

You can have a legal wedding in Jamaica if you want to. You only have to be in Jamaica a day or 2 beforehand, and have your birth certificate and divorce papers if applicable.

The other way to do it is to get married in CA first at the courthouse (you see the girls on here talking about their "legal day") and then have a symbolic wedding in Jamaica.

I'm not sure if CA is like NY but once we get married in Jamaica our marriage is legal in the state of NY as well so I do not have to do the whole court house thing. Find out from your county clerks office if A jamaica license is honored out there.

I Live in Philly Pa. I just called downtown and they gave me the OK.Other Islands are not acknowledge in the U.SI do suggest to get a extra copy of license just in case something happen to the one you will receive from Jamaica.Give it to either one of your parent of someone that you can trust.Then you won't be running rapid
