Marriage certificate in the post

[berg5080]

Hi,
We had an incredible wedding in Tulum Mexico in early May 2013. We were told that our marriage certificate would be apostille certified and sent to us in the UK within 3 months. We are still waiting - so hopefully will get this by early - mid Aug.  I just wanted to ask any other UK brides their experiences with this? Did you find that it arrived earlier, later etc? We are desperately waiting for it as we are hoping to apply for Canadian immigration as soon as possible. I am a Canadian citizen and both of us really would like to relocate to Canada so this is an essential ingredient for us to be able to get the process rolling. It can take some time so we would prefer doing this sooner than later. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Miriam

Hi Miriam,

In our experience as wedding planners we suggest to write by now an email to your wedding planner and ask how is it going with your documents... just to keep you posted... Hotels have so much weddings per month that they need a reminder and a small push to make things happen.  So just write her an email so she can keep you in mind and at the same time she can "push" the Justice of the Peace.

Best Regards,

Thanks Yazmin - I sent an email about 2-3 weeks ago. She said that the docs get sent to us directly by the government. Would it be safe to assume that if we haven't heard anything that this is a good sign and there are no issues? Should I still send a message just to be on the safe side?

Hi Miriam,

Yes, I will suggest to send a quick message just to let them know that you still waiting... just in case...

Good luck and hopefully you will get it soon!
