Spring will soon be here, the traditional time for weddings and romance. Here is some information on getting married on St Kitts. First, it's easy - no residency required. Second, The Justice of the Peace may assess a fee. Third, you only need a license ($200 XCD) and the following documents:

*A valid passport or photo ID.
*Original or certified copy of Birth Certificate.
*If you have never been married before, an Affidavit confirming single status.
*If divorced, a decree absolute (an original or certified copy showing court's stamp or seal) must be presented.
*If widowed, a copy of the death certificate of the deceased spouse must be presented.

Religious Details:

*If a catholic priest is to perform the ceremony:
Couple must receive marriage counselling sessions from their parish priest and submit the required Catholic documents. A letter must come from the couple's resident priest verifying that they are unmarried and that they have received the necessary instructions. All Catholic weddings take place in the church.
*If an Anglican or other minister of religion is to perform the ceremony:
*It is recommended that a letter be brought from the couple's resident minister verifying that they are known and unmarried.

Your Ceremony can be held in your hotel, in a church of your choice, among historic ruins, in a scenic island spot with panoramic view - or, of course, on the beach.
