Marriage certificate translation??

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone who has gotten married in Cuba has had any issues getting their name changed afterward with the Cuban marriage certificate.  We got married at the Melia Varadero in April and just received our marriage certificate in mid August.  I got my driver's license changed without any problems... they were fine with accepting the Spanish marriage certificate; but when i tried to get the name changed on my social insurance card they say they can't accept it unless its translated and notarized.  Before we got married we had to get my husband's divorce certificate translated which cost $400... so I really don't want to have to get the certificate translated.  Just curious if anyone else had this problem... or if I should just try another Service Canada centre, lol.

 

Thanks!

I went to a different Service Canada location and got the name changed on my social insurance card without any problem!  They had no issues taking my Spanish marriage certificate at all... the lady was even pretty interested with the different stamps and seals on it :)  I got my new card in a week or so.  So I'd say if you run into any trouble at one location... try a different one, lol... it seems to all depend on who you talk to

Ladies... I would love your advice!!

 

I am getting married in Cuba on May 19th and we want to have a legal ceremony.

 

The coordinator at the resort says that she does not need us to translate anything before we go... we just have to fill out this marriage form and provide them with copies of our passports/birth certificates (and bring the originals with us when we go.)  Our package indicates that our resort covers "Judge's service and fees, marriage certificate, documents´ legalization, certified copies of marriage."

 

I am assuming that they know what they are doing and she is reiterate the requirements many times but I am still worried... on the Cuban Consulate's website has a much more extensive list of requirements for getitng married in Cuba...

 

Did you ladies just follow the advice of your wedding coordinators at the resorts??  Did you follow the steps of Cuban Consulate (single status affidavit, translation of documents, etc.?)

Nope, it really is that easy when you're getting married in Cuba!  It was a little more complicated for us because my husband had previously been married, so we needed his divorce certificate translated and legalized by the Cuban Embassy.  But if neither you or your fiance have been married before, all you need to do is fill out the form from the resort and give them copies of your passports/birth certificates.  Once you're married, the wedding coordinator at the resort takes care of getting your marriage certificate legalized and sends it to you in the mail once it's done.  It took 3-4 months to get ours.

    • 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!
