MARRIAGE LICENSING INFORMATION

FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

Two forms are needed for you to make it official in the Virgin Islands.

You may print out both of the applications needed here but first make sure you have Adobe Reader. If not you can download the latest Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.

A certified check or postal money order for $100.00 made out to the Superior Court of the USVI must accompany the application. $50 for the application fee and $50 for the licence fee.

An Application for Marriage License and License and Certificate of Marriage are the two forms you wil need to print and fill out. Pay special attention and follow the instructions carefully as the Territorial Court is very strict about the exactness of the forms. Forms that do not comply with instructions will not be accepted. The applications must reach the court house office a minimum of 8 days prior to the wedding.

BOTH FORMS MUST BE TYPED OR IN VERY NEAT PRINT
On both of these forms you may type right on this form on your computer and print it out. Just “X” out of the little window that pops up saying you cannot save the document and type in your information.
