Two Mexicans
In order to have a legal civil wedding between two Mexican citizens in Cancun or the Riviera Maya, the future couple must follow the procedures listed below. They should be turned in to Cancun Wedding Consultant at least three business days prior the wedding so that all legalities can be taken care of before the big day.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A CIVIL WEDDING CEREMONY BETWEEN TWO MEXICANS
These are the steps:
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE WEDDING:
The future bride and groom must both get together these original documents and two sets of copies.
Mexican Birth Certificate
Valid Official Identification with Photo: Either IFE Voter Registration Card or Passport
If divorced or widowed, legal divorce decree or certificate of death (If it is from another country, it must be sealed with an apostille from the country where the death or divorce took place, and translated by an authorized translator if the document is not in Spanish.)
THREE DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING
At least three business days (Monday through Friday) before the wedding, Cancun Wedding Consultant must meet with you at your hotel or residence to:
Help you fill out the marriage certificate application.
Receive the aforementioned documents from both the bride and groom.
Assist both future bride and groom in getting a Medical Certificate (Usually can be done in the hotel if you wish, or from your personal doctor who resides within Mexico. It must have been done in Mexico less than two weeks prior to the wedding, and be written in Spanish).
Get a pre-nuptial blood test for HIV, STD, and RH factor. A lab technician can come to your hotel to have them done. The results will be sent directly to the judge by Cancun Wedding Consultant. It must have been done in Mexico less than two weeks prior to the wedding, and be written in Spanish.
--Provide your four witnesses, if you have them. (See below).
These procedures don’t take long, but they must be followed before a judge will permit couples to be married; otherwise, he/she will not allow a legal wedding to take place.
Cancun Wedding Consultant will help you in any way possible.
WITNESSES
The future bride and groom must each provide two witnesses who are 18 years or older.
If the witnesses are non-Mexicans, they must show their valid passport and Mexican tourist card, or a FM2 or FM3 document certifying their legal stay in the country, and furnish two copies of them.
Mexican witnesses must present a valid official identification with photograph (passport or IFE voter registration card) and two copies.
These four witnesses must be present at least three business days before the wedding when the future couple fills out the application for a marriage certificate, The same four designated witnesses must also be present at the civil ceremony. If they are not present, the judge will not be able to preside over the marriage ceremony.
If you won’t be able to provide four witnesses, Cancun Wedding Consultant will gladly provide them for you so that the ceremony may be performed.
