Tying
the knot on Anguilla is as easy, relaxed and romantic
as the island itself. You can marry on a cay, on a
boat, at sunset, in a church, on a beach, in a restaurant
or
on the grounds of a luxurious resort, your
own private villa, or a picturesque Caribbean hideaway
hotel.
Everyone
falls in love with Anguilla, which is why our island
is a favorite among couples opting for this romantic
choice. We understand that this occasion is one that
lovers will remember for the rest of their lives,
so we work hard to ensure that special day fulfills
your dreams and wishes.

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