Please take note that the court offices are only open Monday-Friday with normal business hours, at which time proper documentation can be processed.

Unlike many countries, Jamaica does not expect you take a blood test before getting married. However, the following documentation is required:

• Proof of citizenship - certified copy of birth certificate, which includes father’s name.
• Parent’s written consent if under 18 years of age.
• Proof of divorce if applicable (original certificate of divorce).
• Certified copy of death certificate for widow or widower.

Italian nationals celebrating their wedding in Jamaica must notify their embassy and a certified copy of their marriage certificate forwarded to their embassy to be legalized and translated.
French Canadians need a notarized translated copy of all documents and a photocopy of the original French documents.

Catholic Church Weddings
In the case of Catholic Church weddings, your local parish priest would need to liaise with a priest on island to ensure that you have undertaken the necessary counseling period prior to the marriage and that you have met all the necessary criteria to enable you to be married in a Catholic Church. Other criteria may also be required – Just Ask Me…
