Some of these health concerns are really out of date for tourists.

Residency

None specified although some of the paperwork may take a day or 2. A wedding planner can be a big help here. (See Cozumel Wedding Packages.)

Required Documents

It's the health reports that make this a chore:

a) Certified birth certificate

b) Valid passport or you will have to go through the process known as obtaining an Apostille by the Secretary of State from which the certificate was registered and that will need to be translated into Spanish by a professional translator.

c) Copy of a photo ID such as a driver's license.

d) Original health certificates that are probably most easily obtained from your homeland. The tests cannot have been administered more than 15 days before your wedding day.

Original blood tests include: HIV, RPR (sexually transmitted diseases) and blood type. These results must be taken no more than 14 days before wedding date.

If taken in Cozumel, the results take about 24 hours, which may be faster than at home.

e) Divorce certificate (original) in the event either party was previously married.

f) Tourist card given by the airline and stamped by the Immigration Officer upon your arrival in Mexico.

g) 2 witnesses. Foreigners must have a copy of a valid passport and their tourist card.
