Thinking of tying the knot in Tobago?
The government of Trinidad & Tobago have made it possible for visitors to marry here within four days of their arrival. If one or both partners are from Trinidad & Tobago then expect between four and eight days for the application process to be completed. It's easier than most imagine to get your Tobago Wedding license and only a few documents are required for most applications.
If you are both foreigners visiting Tobago the Special License is for you. It is easy to apply for and something that is done once you are here, for most countries including the UK and USA you do not need to do anything at home before you come, and a Tobago Wedding license is accepted in most countries.
If one partner resides abroad and the other is resident in Trinidad & Tobago then you will need to apply via the Presidents License if you are both present in T&T, or the Presidents Authority where the local partner can apply on behalf of their foreign partner in his or her absence
For Trinidad & Tobago couples there is the Local Civil License where you are required to post banns at your local registrar office before you can apply to marry.
If you feel your circumstances are special, such as being under 18 or wish to have a different name to that on your passport, or want to know a few more details about getting married in Tobago then the Additional Information section is a must see
Official information for the various Tobago wedding license applications is available at the Ministry of Legal Affairs

If marrying a UK national, how long does the license process take. Additionally, would your service be able to act as a third party and take care of this? Pressed for time
ReplyDeleteHi Kimberly we can assist in the process but both you and your fiancée will be required to be residents of Tobago for at least 7 days during which time the license can be applied for. We can secure all documents for you ahead of time and have all copies of your personal information put together in preparation for your arrival however the presence of both of you will still be required to have the process completed successfully.
