LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR GETTING MARRIED IN COSTA RICA

Getting married in Costa Rica is really quite simple. All you have to do for a civil marriage is to fill out a form with general information about the Bride & Groom (name, birthplace, address...) and bring the required documents (current passports, birth certificates...) All weddings in Costa Rica must be conducted by a Lawyer to make your marriage legal in your hometown. Costa Rican law require
two witnesses at the ceremony to sign the necessary documents.

People think that getting married in Costa Rica is a complex matter however you won't have to worry about any complicated paperwork, we are working with competent Lawyers who, in most cases, will substitute all the documents and make your lives much easier by drawing up a sworm statement from the Bride & Groom. After the ceremony, the Bride, Groom and Witnesses will sign a marriage certificate. It will automatically and immediately legalize the wedding. The Lawyer
will fill out the paperwork with the embassy. Once everything is processed a copy will be forward to you in your hometown.

Costa Rica Wedding did a fantastic job organizing the ceremony for me and my husband.

Our stress free wedding went off without any problems and was a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. Our officiant was deliberate and very charming.
The flexibililty of the staff made it easy to have the location and time that we wanted. Severine's suggestion for an off the beaten path beach was exactly what we were looking for.

Bruno's photography was casual but very elegant. He captured all the important moments while getting some very professional looking shots as well. I have received thousands of compliments on the album.

Thanks to Costa Rica Weddings for a great ceremony and treasured memories we can share with our friends and family.
