I hope so too...I was halfway through a meltdown yesterday when i found this out...no one told me and i wouldn't have known if I didn't have this HUGE problem with my papers...so I am hoping that I can save someone the headache and extra $$
Honestly, i am waiting for someone to tell me I am wrong because it seems too good to be true!

Also just to make totally clear it only applies to people who have NEVER been married

Wow...it's all so confusing!! Giovanni sounds like the best route to go. I should just contact them and forward them the information that our WC sent to us...??

 

My sister was married in Nuevo Vallarta a few years ago and all of the paperwork seemed like a hassle...and now I'm reliving the moment...hahahaha...

Wow, this thread has been AWESOME! I'm in BC and have never even HEARD of a "long" birth certificate! But I have noticed different hotels requiring different copies of things so I'll definitely make sure the one I choose (if I ever do) is the easy route!

 

One more thing: Does anyone else think notary publics are kind of a joke!? (And a huge ripoff?!) Seriously. $75 to put your "stamp" on ONE document!? Gimme a break!

I found some helpful websites on this topic.

Quote:
NOTE: These are only general requirements. Resorts and hotels may be able to provide information about local requirements, which may vary.
REGULATIONS FOR MARRIAGE IN MEXICO

 

And from the Mexican Consulate in Vancouver:

 

Marriage Requirements in Mexico and Legalization of Documents. Both pages are in english.

For the translations, go to ETS Translations. The lady is awesome! She translated and notarized my and my fiance's birth certificates. The cost was pretty reasonable (90 each), and the translations look great! What I liked the most is that this lady actually guided me with the process. I asked her to translate my birth certificates and passports, and she suggested to contact my WC, as she thought my passports didn't need to be translated. And she was right! She was referred to me by my travel agency, and I know she's been translating for weddings in Mexico for a while. Contact this Helen lady, she's awesome!

 

And... $75.00 for a stamp? That's a huge ripoff! I found rates from $35.00 to $50.00, but never heard about $75... well, I actually stopped looking for a notary, as the translator did everything for me... :o)

Hi Emme,

 

Contact ETS Translations. The lady's name is Helen Martinez and she will ask you some questions to see what are your resort's requirements. She did that with me... I was so lost and she guided me to the right direction!

i was just wondering about this the other day what needs to be done.

 

we are planning a legal ceremony at gran bahia principe as well. i am confused by all the mixed information on this thread. some girls said they had to get the long birth certificates, and others said they only needed a passport & tourist card.

 

has anyone gotten married at GBP lately?

 

also...has anyone gotten married in mexico and not had the proper information? do you just have a symbolic ceremony instead?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
