Do it Yourself Weddings :

If you would like to do away with the wedding consultants and would rather plan your own wedding, the following is required:

  • You may apply for your marriage license at the Attorney General's office located in the Government Administration Complex at Wickham's Cay I, Road Town, Tortola.
  • You must be in the British Virgin Islands for a minimum of 3 days prior to the wedding service and after having made application for your marriage license.
  • You will be required to purchase $110.00 in postage stamps if you have been in the territory for less than 15 days prior to the ceremony or $50.00 in stamps if you have been in the BVI for 15 days or more.
  • You will require passports as proof of identity and to establish your date of arrival in the BVI.
  • If you were previously married, you will be required to bring a certified copy or original documentation of your divorce (absolute decree) or death certificate of a deceased spouse.
  • Two witnesses will be required to oversee the signing of your marriage license application and two (different) witnesses are required to be present during the ceremony. (You may select persons from the BVI to serve as witnesses for either or both occasions.)
  • Once your application for marriage license has been completed, you may then proceed to the Registrar's office (located above the Post Office) on Main Street, Road Town, Tortola. The office is open from 9:00 am to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturdays.

The Registrar will require the following:

  • Marriage ceremony fees are payable to the Registrar and are $35.00 if the ceremony is performed in the office and $100.00 if the ceremony is to be performed elsewhere.
  • Full (legal) names of both parties
  • Your ages and date of birth
  • Your occupations
  • The names of the witnesses for your wedding ceremony
  • If you are planning a church wedding, please contact the church of your choice and speak with the Minister or Priest regarding their requirements.

For more information, contact the Registrar at the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages at (284) 494-3492.
