How Long Does It Take To Get Your Marriage Licence From The Dr?


Recommended Posts

This is a question for brides that did a legal ceremony in the DR. How long did it take you get your marriage certificate from the DR? We are trying to decide on a legal or symbolic ceremony and wanted to know which is easier.

 

Thanks in advance!

@@DWBride2015 she used to be on the site. Once we got back from her wedding she was unable to access her account. She's pretty upset as she posted all of her DIYs throughout the year leading up to her wedding:(

Hi.

 

It's been a while since I've been back on this site but since I was scrolling through I noticed this topic. Just a note to future brides, much of the marriage license will greatly depend on your coordinator as you already know. My husband and I got married in PC in 11/30/13 and we had our license in hand by the end of the year. I will say a huge part of that is the fact that our coordinator Carolina at GPPC was adamant that we scan/ send her preliminary documents BEFORE sending copies via post. Why? Because there were some things that weren't done correctly. She sent us back to the embassy and calling our own states offices a couple of times to make sure everything is perfect.

 

I've heard a few stories about delays, and while that doesn't mean the coordinators were clueless, these folks I know did not have the attn to detail from the coordinator and things were just sent in with a hope and a prayer.

 

It can take up to 6 months but I've heard from those I know they received theirs in hand within 2 months. I thought the process was easy but after reviewing some of the things we had to do the most that caused the headaches were tiny mistakes. Hope this helps any future brides!

I am having a hard time understanding exactly the documents I need for the legal wedding.

 

I have our certified copied of birth certificates and know I need to get these translated into spanish. Do I get it translated at the dominican consulate?

 

I also know that I need a single status affadavid signed before a notary and translated into spanish. Do I need to create this document myself or where can I find it?

 

Then I saw something about needing an apostille. Does anyone know anything about this!

    • 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!
