Wedding Legalities

You have the choice of two kinds of ceremonies in Mexico, and can combine both:

Civil/Legal ceremony performed by a Civil Judge (Matrimonio Civil)

• The vows are in Spanish and cannot be altered
  
• This is recognized as legal throughout the world
  
• You must have 4 adult witnesses over the age of 18

Religious/Blessing ceremony performed by a Non-Denominational Minister.

• This is not a legal ceremony
• You have total control over your wedding vows

For the Civil Ceremony the following is mandatory:

• Copy of your birth certificate
• Lab work completed in the state in which you are getting married
  
• Copy of your Tourist Visas (you receive these on the plane)
  
• Divorce decree if applicable. Must be divorced one year in order to get married in Mexico.
  
• There are no exceptions to the above for a legal wedding. Copies of marriage certificates will be available at the corresponding Civil Register Office. The civil ceremony can be performed in the judge’s chambers Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM or at another location for an additional fee.

Pricing:

• Non Denominational Minister $350 plus $100 to attend the Ceremony Rehearsal
