Grenada Marriage Requirements
The information below outlines the marriage requirements for getting married in Grenada
Couples must be resident in Grenada for 3 working days in advance of their wedding.
Application for a Marriage Licence should be made in person at the Prime Minister's Office after the necessary stamp duty and licence fees have been paid at the Treasury office. This process takes approximately two days (and slightly longer if either partner is divorced, as documents must then be sent to The Ministry of Legal Affairs).
Documents required
- Valid Passports
- Birth Certificates
- If one of the parties is divorced, proof of a Decree Absolute
- Proof of Single Status: an affadavit, or a letter from a clergyman, lawyer, or Registry on official letterhead attesting to the fact that the parties involved have not been married previously.
- If a name has been changed by Deed Poll proof is necessary
- If either party has been widowed, a Death Certificate is needed
- If either party is under 21 evidence of parental consent is required in the form of an affadavit
- All papers must be in English. If the original papers are in another language, they should be translated into English and certified
- No blood tests are required
