Summary:
World-reknowned for its crystal-clear water and 365
beaches--one for every day of the year—Antiqua and Barbuda are perfect
for sunning, snorkeling or swimming. For a taste of the island's rich nautical
history, visit Nelson's Dockyard, where ships were hauled for cleaning, and now
a popular meeting place for the yachting set. Today the warehouses are filled
with shops and restaurants, and the sails belong to international yachts. From
this bustling little port, tour across the rolling countryside to Shirley
Heights, a fortress dominating the entry to English Harbor.
Marriage Requirements:
First, there is a registration fee of US$40 that must be
paid at the courthouse in the new government buildings on Queen Elizabeth
Highway. The application fee for the special marriage license is US$150, and
the Marriage Officer's fee is US$50. You both will need valid passports as
proof of citizenship. If either of you have been previously married, then bring
along the original divorce decree or, in the case of a widow or widower, the
original marriage and death certificates. Both parties must be over 15,
if under 18, written authorization from your parents or guardians is required.
It is important that all documents presented are original or certified original
by the issuing departments or offices. Ensure that all documents are in your
legal name, and provide affidavits in cases where you are known by another
name. Your marriage must also be solemnized or celebrated in the presence of
two or more witnesses, apart from the Marriage Officer.
