Get Copy of Bahamas Marriage Certificate

A Bahamas Marriage Certificate is a legal document that certifies the registration of marriage in The Bahamas Marriage Registry (Bahamas Marriage Records). It serves as proof of the union between two individuals and is usually required for legal or official purposes such as applying for joint benefits, immigration, or changing one's surname. In The Bahamas, the process of obtaining a certified marriage certificate typically involves the completion of a marriage license application, payment of fees, and the completion of the marriage ceremony by a licensed wedding officiant (Licensed Bahamas Marriage Officer), submission of ceremony details to the Registrar General's Office, and then a Bahamas Marriage Registry certificate is issued.

How long does it take to process a request for a certified copy of a Bahamas marriage certificate?

During the wedding ceremony, the wedding officiant must complete the Marriage (Duplicate) Register (form 9) and after the ceremony promptly return it to the Registrar General's Department, which is responsible for maintaining official records of marriages in the Bahamas. The couple can then request a certified copy of their Bahamas marriage certificate from the Registrar General's Department, which they should be able to receive within five (5) business days.
