“Couples’ Paradise,” this is how brides and couples describe Anguilla. The island has become famous to romantic couples who are searching for a perfect place for their honeymoon or a place for their marriage. The laid-back setting in Anguilla—calming sunsets, cool breezes, crystalline water, simplicity of the place, casual but elegant atmosphere, and hospitality of the locals, all fits to the dream setting of couples. The local government permits foreign couples to get married in Anguilla as long as the couples are bringing the appropriate requirements. Foreign couples are get marry by a special license issued by the Anguilla’s local authority. The local authorities ask proof of citizenship to their resident country such as passports and original birth certificates including an identification card or ID like the driver’s license to the couples, as the requirement for marriage. A divorce or death certificate is needed if applicable. At least two witnesses are required to come to the marriage ceremony.
The cost of the license is $284. The couple gets a lower rate of $40, if one of the couple resides in Anguilla for at least fifteen days before the date of their marriage.
