Legal requirements
Legal ceremony availableSt. Kitts asks for just two working days on-island before the wedding date for a Special Marriage Licence (EC$200, about US$80); couples on-island 15+ days qualify for the cheaper Ordinary licence. Bring valid passports, a notarized single-status affidavit (or decree absolute / death certificate if previously married, in English or officially translated), and complete the application before a local Justice of the Peace for filing with the Legal Department in Basseterre. Church weddings also need letters from your home clergy. US states recognize the marriage with no separate registration. All arrivals complete the St. Kitts & Nevis eTA (US$17) online before travel.
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
