You need to have your birth certificates apostilled before you go. My friend got married in Mexico in September and said this is something you HAVE to do. She used this site....

 

Overseas marriages and civil partnerships

 

Hope this helps..

(okay now this is on the RIU website in the FAQ part, may be worth a look at you resort website too but this may give you an idea?)

Thanks to vlvetter7 for pointing this out to me in another thread :-)
