Getting a copy of your Jamaica Marriage Certificate

[Jamaica0619]

I have yet to receive my certificate from the website or from the resort, and we got married on June 19th! This is a little frustrating.

Hang in there... I got married in May, started this thread in September, and didn't get my papers from the Registrar's website until December 14th, so don't give up yet!!

Hi Everyone..I am a newbie, recently engaged. I am a little confused on the process. are you actually legally married by the Jamiaican terms? I always thought these kinds of weddings meant you really are there just for the ceremony, all your official docs are done back home in the US/etc?

I am confused someone help lol....Is there a certified copy or something we are suppose to wait for? I didnt even think to ask before I left what kind of wife am I lol

You are legally married in the US if you get married in JA...that marriage license is acceptable here....I know Mexico it is not...not sure about other places...you have to check
