What’s to love: Perfect weather, scenic views, beautiful beaches, and fabulous resorts.
What you’ll need and what you need to know:
- Civil ceremonies aren’t done on Saturdays, Sundays or Mexican Holidays (including Easter week).
- Both of your birth certificates (original and Apostilled copies) translated into Spanish by an authorized translator
- Valid passports – originals and copies.
- Names, addresses, nationalities, occupations and ages of both parents of the couple
- Health certificate and blood tests done in Mexico (must be done 3-4 days before wedding and is valid for 15 days)
- Tourist visa cards are required for the groom, bride and witnesses.
- Bride, groom and witnesses must be over the age of 18.
- Speaking of witnesses, you’ll need four: two for the bride and two for the groom.
- For your civil ceremony, the vows are done in Spanish and the ceremony lasts approximately 10-20 minutes. A civil ceremony in Cabo San Lucas is similar to a ceremony by the Justice of the Peace in the United States or Canada.
- You can hire a translator for around $100 or you can use a friend or wedding planner.
