Nevis Island offers an easy way to say your Caribbean I-do’s. Relaxed requirements make Nevis weddings available to many couples. Nevis weddings have the luxury of a stunningly beautiful natural backdrop, rolling hills fall away into blazing Caribbean sunsets and warm off-shore breezes. Couples can choose to organize a large Four Seasons Nevis wedding, though weddings in Nevis need not be a grandiose event. A simple beachfront Nevis wedding may be just the atmosphere you are looking for.
An $80 fee follows a residency requirement of two business days on the Island to be able to hold a Nevis wedding. This licensing fee for a Nevis wedding may be reduced if your planned stay is extended past the two day requirement. Valid forms of ID (passport of birth certificate) must be presented in order to facilitate a Nevis wedding.
Requirements:
1.) Couples may get married on the third day after either the bride or groom is on Nevis.
2.) Both parties must have a valid passport or a certified birth certificate.
3.) If either party is divorced, a decree absolute must be presented.
4.) If any documents are not in English, they must be accompanied by a notarized translation.
5.) For Catholics, must be in a Catholic Church and a letter must come from the couple’s priest verifying marriage status.
6.) For other Christian religions, a letter must come from the couple’s resident minister verifying that the couple is unmarried.
7.) More specifics may be obtained by contacting the Nevis Department of Legal Affairs at 869.465.2521.
