In Grenada the law requires that visitors be resident on the island for a minimum of three (3) days (including weekends and public holidays) before applying for a licence.

On the third day, the necessary stamp duty and licence fees are paid, and an application for a Marriage Licence is made in person, at the Office of the Prime Minister.

Generally the licence is ready within two (2) working days. This maybe slightly longer if either partner is divorced, as documents must then be sent to the Ministry of Legal Affairs.

Documentation Required

• Valid Passports
• Birth Certificates
• Sworn Affidavit (or letter from a Clergy Man, Lawyer or Registry), attesting that neither party has not been married previously
• Decree Absolute, for each divorced party
• If widowed, the deceased’s Death Certificate
• Legal proof if a name was changed by Deed Poll
• If under the age of 21, written parental consent by way of an Affidavit from a Lawyer or Notary Public.
• All documents must be in English . If the originals are in another language, they must be translated into English and certified

NO blood or medical tests are required for marriages in Grenada.
