Required Documents

## Documents Based on Your Marital Status

The documents you need to apostille depend on your marital status. Find your situation below and contact us to confirm the most current Belize General Registry requirements.

🏳️

### 🌟 Big Advantage: No Translation Required!

Belize is the **only country in Central America with English as its official language**. American documents issued in English are accepted directly by the Belize General Registry, Belizean notaries, and the Belize Immigration Department — **no Spanish translation needed**. This makes the process significantly faster and less expensive than marrying in other Central American countries.

💍

### Single (Never Married)

- **Single Status Affidavit** (also called Certificate of No Marriage Record) — in Florida, obtained through the Florida Department of Health (form DH-681). Must be apostilled. Allow 2–3 additional weeks for issuance.

⏱ Estimated time: 3–5 weeks (includes single status issuance)

⏱ Estimated time: 3–5 business days for the apostille

### 📋 Belize Marriage License Requirements

In addition to apostilled documents, the Belize General Registry requires applicants to be present in Belize for at least **3 business days** before the ceremony to obtain the marriage license. **Two witnesses** are required. Documents should generally be no older than **6 months** at the time of presentation. We recommend consulting the Belize General Registry or a local Belizean attorney to confirm current requirements before your trip.

Before You Travel

## What to Know About Getting Married in Belize

Belize has specific requirements for foreign nationals getting married there. Here's what you need to know before starting the process.

#### 🇧🇿 No Residency Required

US citizens can get married in Belize without being residents. You simply need to be physically present in the country for at least 3 business days before the ceremony to obtain your marriage license from the Belize General Registry.

#### 🏳️ Only English-Speaking Country in Central America

Belize's official language is English, which means your American documents in English need no translation. This is a major practical advantage over all other Central American countries, saving time and money.

#### 📅 Document Validity

Documents presented to the Belize General Registry should generally be no older than 6 months. Keep this in mind when timing your apostille. It is best to apostille your documents no more than 3–4 months before your wedding date.

#### 🌐 Belize Joined the Hague Convention in 1993

Belize has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since 1993. Your apostilled American documents are accepted directly by the Belize General Registry, Belizean notaries, and immigration authorities without any additional consular legalization.

#### 💑 Marriage Valid in the US

Marriages performed in Belize are recognized in the United States. To use your Belizean marriage certificate in the US (name change, spousal residency, benefits), it must be apostilled by the Belize General Registry. Since it's in English, no translation is needed for most US purposes.

#### ⚡ Start Early for Single Applicants

If you've never been married, the Single Status Affidavit (DH-681) from the Florida Department of Health can take 2–3 additional weeks to be issued before it can be apostilled. We recommend starting the process at least 4–6 weeks before your wedding date.

How We Work

## How to Apostille Your Documents for Belize — Step by Step

The entire process can be done remotely from any US state. No need to come to Miami in person.

#### Free Consultation

Call or message us. We confirm exactly which documents you need apostilled based on your marital status, and we set a timeline that works with your wedding date.

#### Single Status Affidavit (if applicable)

If you have never been married, we guide you through requesting the Single Status Affidavit (DH-681) from the Florida Department of Health. This extra step can take 2–3 weeks.

#### Apostille at the Secretary of State

We process the apostille on your birth certificate, divorce decree, death certificate, or single status affidavit at the Florida Secretary of State (or another state's Secretary of State, as applicable). Standard: 3–5 business days. Rush: 24–48 hours.

#### No Translation Needed!

Because Belize's official language is English, your American documents in English need no translation for the Belize General Registry. This step is simply skipped — saving you time and cost compared to other countries.

#### Document Delivery

We return your apostilled documents in person (Miami-Dade) or by FedEx/UPS with tracking. International shipping directly to Belize City, San Ignacio, Dangriga, or other Belize addresses is available via FedEx or DHL.
