Application for Wedding License (provided by Dream Turquoise Weddings) must be fully completed, with witness names and all spouse and family information.

• Birth certificates with apostilles*  For more information please click here
  Official copies of your birth certificates which have been apostilized by the Mexican consulate in your home country will first need to be sent to our wedding coordinator, preferably 3 months before your wedding date. You must also bring the originals with you to Mexico.
• Photocopies and originals of the couples are valid tourist cards (FMTs)/visas and valid passports. If you do not have a passport, your apostilized birth certificate and a valid driver's license [with photo] will suffice.
• Death certificate of spouse, if applicable, with apostille*
  If you are widowed, one full year must elapse from date of the death of previous spouse and a certified copy of spouse's death certificate must be presented.
• Divorce papers, if applicable, with apostille.*
  If you are divorced, one full year must elapse from date of the divorce from the previous spouse, and the final dissolution of marriage must be verified with a certified copy of the divorce decree.
• A blood test must be taken once you arrive in Cancun [These tests must be taken no more than 14 days before wedding date.] Tests must include STDs, blood type, Rh factor and HIV testing. The blood tests and health certificate are currently $150 USD per couple, but is subject to change.
• Four witnesses, age 18 or older. They can be either Mexican or foreign citizens, as long as they bring valid identification (passport or, in the case of Mexican citizen, valid voter registration card.) However, if the witnesses are foreign, they must bring the original as well as copies of their valid tourist card/visa. The parents of the couple may not serve as witnesses to the marriage. If witnesses are needed, we can provide them (Let us know with time, extra charge will apply).
• Fulfilling these requirements (excepting the Apostille) will take you about 2 to 4 days. You will need to apply for the Apostille in your country of origin. This can be a lengthy process, so we recommend you start the apostille procedure as early as possible.
  
  *All of these documents must have an apostille in order for the Civil Register Office to consider them valid and legal. The apostille must be acquired from the Secretary of State's Office in the state where you were born. Canadians must have these documents certified at the Mexican Consulate's Office in Canada. The marriage cannot be celebrated without fulfilling these requirements.

WE REQUIRE THE ORIGINAL PAPERS IN OUR HANDS, AT LEAST 1 MONTH BEFORE THE WEDDING AND FAXED COPIES BEFORE YOU SEND THEM FOR REVIEW.

• Please note that these marriage requirements are for two foreign citizens. If one of the people to be married is a Mexican citizen, the process is lengthy and you will need to present your papers to the Instituto Nacional de Migracion in advance. We recommend applying through the Quintana Roo immigration office. The foreign citizen must apply to request permission to marry the Mexican citizen, and if permission is granted, the wedding must take place within 30 days.
  
  Before you read the below legal requirements, it is important to understand that  these requirements are from the Mexican  government and not by us, therefore they might change so you have to contact your wedding planner 3 months before your wedding to get any updates.
