Wedding Documentation for getting married in the Mayan

[slayguy]

Hello,

 

Just joined, getting married April 23rd at the Occidental Grand Xcaret but am having a hard time figuring if I need a certified birth certificate translated into Spanish. Some places say you do need a certified birth certificate while some places say a passport is sufficient enough. Has anyone recently been married in the Mayan or going there shortly that can help me out?

 

Thanks,

S

I am pretty sure that you need to have a translated birth certificate with the apostille seal. Check with the wedding coordinator at your hotel. : ) Good luck. We decided to have a JP ceremony before we go.

I would also contact your wedding coordinator, that person is the best to know. Sorry no help.

Hi Slayguy - I also have this problem - Travel Agent has told us we need different documentation to what the Wedding Co-ordinator at the hotel is telling us (I am getting married at the Azul in July). Seems to vary between different hotels and different judges and different areas! Have you tried contacting anyone who is getting married/or has been married at your chosen hotel for advise. Otherwise I would go with what the Wedding Co-ordinator at the hotel says as they carry out weddings everyday!!!

When we had our legal ceremony we had to have

 

Birth Certificate W/ apostille seal

Divorce Decree if applicable w/ apostille seal

Passport

 

We had to send our wedding coordinator scanned copies of all of those ahead of time for translation, then bring the originals with us when we got married.

 

Best bet is to check with the wedding coordinator. I have noticed that some of them ask for different things than others, but ultimately the wedding coordinator at the resort you are getting married at has the final say.

Thanks everyone for all your replies, I got in touch with the wedding co-ordinator and she's advised that I just need my passport and not the birth certificate. Appreciate all the repsonses.
