Big Congrats on your decision to take your relationship to the next level! But now… did you say… Cabo? Mayan Riviera? Vallarta? San Miguel de Allende?
If Mexico is your chosen destination to tie the knot, it’s time to take a deep breath and delve into the world of international paperwork. While Mexico might feel close to home, remember that the country has its own set of laws and regulations when it comes to marriage. Just like the United States, these rules can even vary from state to state within Mexico.
Getting your Documents Ready
Whether you’re enlisting the help of a wedding planner or going the DIY route, certain documents are non-negotiable when it comes to legally marrying in Mexico. Here’s a breakdown of the essentials:
1. Valid Passport: Your passport is your gateway to love on Mexican soil. Make sure it’s up to date and ready for your romantic adventure.
2. Immigration Entry Card: Upon your arrival at the airport, you’ll receive an Immigration Entry Card. Hold onto this card tightly – it’s a key piece of your marital puzzle.
3. Birth Certificate with Apostille: This isn’t just any birth certificate – it needs to be authenticated with an Apostille, a special seal that validates its authenticity for international use.
4. Certified Translations: If your heart’s set on a specific Mexican state for your nuptials, ensure that your birth certificate’s and divorce record translation is court-certified for that particular state. Accuracy is paramount!
5. Blood Test Results: Ah, the things we do for love! In some cases, Mexico requires blood test results signed and issued by a local physician. Don’t be surprised if chest X-rays make an appearance on this medical journey.
6. Letter of No Impediment to Marriage: This document, often required in international marriages, states that you’re free and clear to say «I do.» It’s an assurance that your heart is ready for this exciting commitment.
7. Divorce Documentation: If you have been previously married, it is crucial to provide proof of your marriage dissolution. While an Apostille is not always necessary for this requirement, a certified translation into Spanish of your divorce certificate or decree is still mandatory.
No matter the intricacies of these documents, remember that they’re all part of the journey toward your Mexico Dream Wedding. So, take a moment to review these requirements and ensure your path to marriage is as smooth as a Mexican sunset.
