How to Get Married in the US Virgin Islands

The USVI has a handy brochure, "Getting Married in the United States Virgin Islands," you can order by calling 800.USVI.INFO. Getting married on these islands is very simple. There is no residency period so the US Virgin Islands are very popular with cruise ship passengers who are on the island for the day.

Paperwork Requirements: The first step is to request an application for a marriage license from the US Virgin Islands Territorial Courts (340.774.6680 ext. 6434, fax 340.777.8254). This application will need to be notarized then you’ll send it to the islands; there is an eight-day waiting period after the receipt of this document before you can get married but you don’t need to be in the islands during that time.

Cost: The fee for the marriage application is $50.

You’ll also need to indicate whether you’re going to be married by a judge in the court or if your ceremony will be performed by a member of the clergy. Appointments are necessary for civil ceremonies; the fee is $200.

Obtaining Your Marriage License: Before the wedding, you’ll pick up the marriage license at the Territorial Court office in Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas. The court is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and is closed on holidays (including the many local USVI holidays.) Saturday pick-up at 10 a.m. can be arranged by special request. The application must be sent to the court at least eight days in advance, but allow more time for processing.
