[Tammy1958]

I am getting married in Cabo and they told me you have to be in the country 3 days not counting arrival day and day of wedding. I am getting married September 29th and I am arriving in Cabo on September 25th:)

Chandlyn emailed me again to tell me she also received my mailed doc's She probably thinks I am crazy that I sent them both ways...lol It took them 2 weeks to the day I mailed them to get them by mail.

I am so excited for you guys. Your weddings are so close!!!

Tomorrow I am headed to Canada Post to send our notarized documents to Chandlyn!! I also scanned them in and plan on emailing them to her as backup... very exciting, time is just flying by!!

Just curious - any Canadians who may have already mailed in their paperwork, did you send it by registered mail and how much did it cost?

Ok - I plan on getting this together this week but quick question. Did you notarize a copy of your license, passport, & birth certificate for both of you? So, there is a total of 6 notarized sheets?

Hi! I just had a copy of each of our passports and each of our birth certificates notarized, so 4 sheets in total. It says on the Riu website Passports OR Drivers license. And to answer my own question - haha - to send registered mail to Jamaica from Canada was only about $15. They gave me a tracking # so I think I'm set!

 

Here is the requirements from the Wedding Packages by Destination. Honeymoon Holidays. Weddings by Riu site:

Jamaica:

Notarized copies of Birth Certificate

Notarized copies of Passports or driver’s license

Notarized copies of divorce papers (if applicable)

Notarized copies of death certificate (if applicable)

Notorized Documents stating name changes (if applicable)

Notarized, written parental consents (if under 21 years of age)

 

*All documents have to be notarized and presented in English 30 days prior to the ceremony.

Please don't laugh. How do you get things notarized? How long does this take and cost? How far in advance did you send your documents?

Hi Christene,
You can take your documents to any lawyer to get them notarized, or if you have notary publics in your province, they can do it too. They can usually do it immediately, or you may have to leave it with them for a day or two. Our lawyer just did it for us for free right away!!! I think if they were to charge you it would be a very small charge. Documents have to get to Chandlyn 30 days in advance for Riu Ocho Rios weddings, so I sent mine about 60 days just to be sure they would get there in time.... hmmm... I still havent heard if they arrived, I better check into that!!!
