  Getting Married
Palm fringed beaches, elegant old
plantation houses, the soft tropical air, hypnotic steel band music, the tantalizing aroma of the cuisine all combined make weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries popular on St. Lucia. Wonderful climate, astounding beauty and friendly islanders all add to making St. Lucia simply perfect for your special wedding day.


Marriage: It’s easy to get married in St Lucia. For a normal wedding license you just need to stay here for 4 days before the wedding. After you’ve been here for 4 days a local Solicitor can apply for a license on your behalf. However there is a Special License which requires no residency period. The fee for the special license is EC$540 but if you arrive with
  all necessary legal documents and file them with a lawyer in the morning by the afternoon of the same day you can obtain the special license.

To obtain a marriage licence in St Lucia, the following documents are required:
  • Passport & Birth Certificate
  • Decree Absolute (if one of the parties is divorced)
  • In the case of a widow/widower a Death Certificate of first spouse is required
  • If a name has been changed, a Deed Poll is required
  • If one of the parties is under the age of 18, evidence of a consent of parents is required in the form of a sworn affidavit stamped by a Notary Public
  • If any required documents are not in English, an authenticated translation must be available
