Religious or Spiritual Ceremonies are a symbolic celebration of the love of the couple. Some couples choose to have their legal wedding back home and have a Religious Ceremony in the destination while others choose to have both ceremonies here. Religious Ceremonies will receive a symbolic marriage certificate with no legal value.

Weddings performed in Mexico are legal in your home country as long as it is performed by a Justice of the Peace or Judge. The couple must complete the below requirements in order to get legally married. The couple will receive a legal marriage certificate in Spanish.

All original documents with apostilles, such as divorcee decrees, must be translated into Spanish by an official translator and the Justice of the Peace or Judge will keep the original document.

An Apostille is an authentication of a document that has to be done in your country or state which allows the document to be accepted in Mexico.
