Seychelles Wedding
How to get married in the Seychelles
To get married in the Seychelles is really quite simple, basically you just have to prove you are who you say you are & that you are legally free to marry.
Anyone wishing to get married in Seychelles must be over 18 year old.
Weddings in the Seychelles are only performed by a Registrar and are recognized in all countries including Australia, US, UK, Canada, New Zealand & Europe. You need to be resident for at least one day before a Seychelles marriage ceremony if their documents have been received by the Registrar at least 11 days prior to the wedding day.
Civil ceremonies in the Seychelles are performed on Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, usually at hotels & resorts. Weddings are usually performed between 2 PM and 5 PM Monday to Friday except on public holidays. Religious ceremonies are not recognized by the government so are not legal at home but may be performed following a Seychelles civil wedding ceremony.
Documents required for marriage in the Seychelles
Copies of the following documents are required in advance and the couple must travel with the originals of the documents. Documents must be in English or translated into English by a foreign embassy (and placed on official embassy stationery).
Copies of the first 6 pages of both passports (only the 1st page of the new EEC passport).
Copies of both birth certificates.
Copies of divorce decrees if applicable.
Copy of death certificate of former spouses if applicable.

Most weddings take place on the islands of Praslin, Mahe and some of the other other islands. The islands offer great resorts & locations to marry in the Seychelles. Seychelles wedding requirements are the same on all islands.
