Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Getting Married in Belize as a US Citizen

Does Belize accept the Hague Apostille on American documents? ▼

Yes. Belize joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1993. American documents apostilled by the Secretary of State of the issuing state are accepted directly by the Belize General Registry and Belizean notaries without additional consular legalization.

Do I need to translate my documents to get married in Belize? ▼

No. English is the official language of Belize, so American documents issued in English do NOT require translation. This is a significant advantage compared to other Central American countries where all documents must be translated into Spanish.

Do I need to be a resident of Belize to get married there? ▼

No. A US citizen can marry in Belize without being a resident. You must be physically present in Belize for at least 3 business days before the ceremony to obtain the marriage license from the Belize General Registry.

Can a divorced person get married in Belize? ▼

Yes. A divorced person can remarry in Belize. You must present your apostilled final divorce decree. Since Belize's official language is English, no translation is needed for American divorce decrees issued in English.

Is a marriage performed in Belize valid in the United States? ▼

Yes. A marriage performed in Belize is valid and recognized in the United States. To use your Belizean marriage certificate in the US (name change, spousal immigration petition, benefits), it must be apostilled by the Belize General Registry. Since it will be in English, no translation is needed for most US purposes.

How long does it take to apostille documents for a Belize wedding? ▼

Apostilling Florida documents at the Florida Secretary of State takes 3–5 business days. We offer rush service in 24–48 hours. If you are single, the Single Status Affidavit from the Florida Department of Health can take 2–3 additional weeks to obtain. We recommend starting the process at least 4–6 weeks before your wedding date.
