It could be easier. A lot of details required. Don't overlook them.

Important Note

There is no provision for any marriages in the T&C to be registered in a person's country of origin since all records will be placed in the Turks & Caicos Islands.

It appears if you want a record back home, you'll have to make arrangements yourself. Strange in this electronic age.
