Requirements, Customs and Traditions
With the summer season heating up, we were reminded of the scores of couples who choose our island for their destination weddings. For this reason, we drafted a Puerto Rico wedding guide: a compilation of all essential elements needed for an authentic Puerto Rican wedding. From legal requirements to timeless customs and traditions -- this article strives to make one of the most important events of your life even more memorable.
Puerto Rico recently updated its wedding requirements (2012), so please make sure you go down our list for a pain-free process: Medical certificate: before you even leave home, make sure you take all tests required for marriage back in your country/state of residency. Why? You will need to present a medical certificate, confirming the above, to the Puerto Rican Demographic Registry Office. If you come through San Juan, there's an office conveniently located inside Plaza Las Americas mall. However, if you are flying into Aguadilla, you will have to find an office on the West Coast.
