Legal requirements
Legal ceremony availableHolbox is part of Quintana Roo state, with the same legal requirements as Cancun and Tulum: Civil ceremony by a licensed judge, passports, apostilled birth certificates translated to Spanish, blood test in Mexico within 14 days, four witnesses required. Logistics are slightly more complex given the island's remoteness (ferry access only), so coordinate with a local wedding planner well in advance.
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
