The requirements for a legal wedding in Merida 💘

You probably know that planning your wedding involves many things, from choosing the banquet, flowers, music, trousseau, cake and an endless list of details but be honest! Have you thought about what are the requirements for a civil wedding in Merida? Although it’s an indispensable topic, many times we overlook it. In this article, we share with you some facts that you should take into account, and the necessary requirements to get married in Merida. Take note!

If you and/or partner are Mexican nationals

If you or your partner are from Mexico, these are the requirements to get married in Merida:

  • Fill out the application for marriage. This document is provided by the Directorate of Civil Registry of Yucatan. You must fill it out with the general data of both of you, data of the parents, data of the witnesses, and the general data where the wedding will take place.

 

  • Updated birth certificate of the bride and groom. It is important that their birth certificate is updated, if it is not recent, you can go to the civil registry to request it and it is a very quick procedure.

 

  • Official identification of both the bride and groom.

 

  • Analysis and prenuptial medical certificate. It must be valid for at least 15 days previous the wedding date, we know that these are complicated days where they will be focused on other things, but taking the time for the analysis is as important as the other details.

 

  • Three witnesses over the age of 18 with official identification.

 

  • Attend the premarital orientation workshop at the registry office.

 

  • Payment of the corresponding civil wedding fee. The cost varies according to the place where it is celebrated, there are several cases: celebrated in the office of the Civil Registry, celebrated within the city of Merida outside the civil office, or celebrated outside the city of Mérida such as in a Hacienda at the outskirts of the city.

In the event that you or your partner has previously had a divorce, they must present an updated divorce certificate. In the case of widowhood, they must present the corresponding updated death certificate.

If you, your partner or both are foreigners

In addition to the above requirements, the following points must be taken into account:

  • Legalized or apostilled birth certificate with its respective Spanish translation.

 

  • Letter of naturalization.

 

  • Valid passport.

All documents must be presented in original and copy, so it is very important that you can review in time all the things you need to make the procedure. In case you do not have complete documentation or you have doubts about it, you can go to the necessary institutions to have your documents checked and put in order.

Additional information on required documents

Your Wedding Planner can do the civil wedding paperwork. Isn’t that great? It’s one of the advantages of having a wedding coordinator in Merida who has organized not just one, but several civil weddings. This way you will avoid unnecessary trips and expenses, especially while planning a destination wedding.

You can reserve a date in advance and have your documentation reviewed; however, documents are not accepted until all requirements are completed. 

At the end of the ceremony on your wedding day, the officer will give you your marriage certificate. We know that it is a day when all your loved ones will be there and you will be overflowing with joy, but we recommend that you designate a person you trust to take care of this document and check that the information in the certificate is correct, or if you have a wedding planner, he or she will certainly not let this detail go by.

    • Civil Registry Office 015 in the Delio Moreno Cantón
      95 street #504 x 52 y 62A, Delio Moreno Cantón, 97268 Mérida, Yuc.
