Good Luck!
So the consulate can do the translation AND the legalization? Is that correct, because I thought they could just do the legalization. Also, if that's true and you use the consulate for translation, do you have to physically be in the office or can you mail them there?

Wedo isn't the only translation option, right? Just the one most people go with?

Ok the D.R. Consulate in Chicago, said all that is requirered- Birth Certificate for both, ans single avidavidt for both- To be translated and legalize the cost is 200.00 for both! HOWEVER- in order for it to be LEGAL in the UNITED STATES you need to send then your Original Marriage License to be translated and legalized the cost of this is 150.00

Thanks!
I think the "official" requirement is 3 days for it to be legal but honestly, I question how often that's actually enforced. As you noticed, some resort websites will tell you three days, others have no mention of it. So I asked my TA/wedding coordinator as she specializes only in destination weddings and most she does are in the DR so she knows her stuff - she basically said the 3 day rule is bogus but some places may enforce it more than others. So ask upfront!!!

I called three different consulate offices today (Chicago, New Orleans, and California) and got three different prices. They can charge different prices. California was the most expensive--$135 for the single status, $135 for the first three pages of divorce decree and $25 for each additional page, and $135 for the birth certificate. The lady also mentioned that we must have an apostille affixed to our birth certificates which would be an additional $26, if they provided it. WOW!!!

 

Can someone please provide me for approx. prices from WeDO?

    • 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!
    • 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!
