Getting
Married
Couples
marry under the authority of a special license that takes
approximately two working days to process.
Couples must present proof of citizenship of their resident
country. These documents are most likely the same documents
that you will need to fulfill entry requirements when
visiting Anguilla; your passport or an original birth
certificate accompanied by a photo identification such
as a driver's license.
If applicable, a divorce or death certificate must be
present.
If one partner resides in Anguilla for at lease fifteen
days before the date of marriage, the cost of the license
is US$40.
If the stay is shorter, the cost of the license is $284
representing stamp duty.
Must have two witnesses.
If you plan to marry in Anguilla, contact the Minister
and the Magistrate at 264-497-2377 or 264-497-3477.
