OVERVIEW
WEDDINGS
In order to be married in Puerto Rico each person will need to bring a photo ID or passport. If either party has been divorced or widowed, a divorce decree or death certificate is required. Each party will need to take a blood test from a federally certified laboratory (in the US or Puerto Rico) with 10 days of the wedding date. A marriage certificate can be acquired in advance from the Puerto Rico Department of Health at 787-767-9120. A doctor will need to sign and certify your marriage certificate and blood test in Puerto Rico. The couple will then need to visit the Demographic Registry to obtain the marriage license, and purchase two license stamps (total stamp cost is US$30.00). Couples can expect to receive their marriage license within ten days of their wedding date.
Many hotels and resorts can assist with wedding / marriage license preparations.
