Getting Married on Antigua

For our overseas couples, our wedding planner will accompany you to St. John's to the Ministry of Legal Affairs where couples will be required to pay:

Special marriage license: US $150.00

Registration fee:                 $ 40.00

Marriage Officer fee:           $ 50.00

Please note that you will need to be in possession of the following original documents, or certified originals, which should be in the individual’s legal name:

• Valid passport (as proof of citizenship)
• Divorce decree (if either party is divorced)
• Original marriage and death certificates (if either party is widowed)

If either party is known by another name than the legal name they must provide an affidavit.

Also, both parties must be over 15 years of age. If either is under the age of 18, then written authorization to wed from the parents or guardians is required.

To make the marriage both legal and binding, two witnesses to the marriage are required.
