In Case of Dissolution of Prior Marriage

If either applicant is divorced the court requires a CERTIFIED copy of the divorce decree. (This can be obtained by contacting the court that issued the divorce). If either applicant is widowed, a CERTIFIED copy of the death certificate is required.
Please mail appropriate documentation along with completed Certificate of Marriage to Weddings The Island Way.
What to look for when checking Divorce Decrees:
* Statement that marriage has ended. (Dissolved, Divorce, Annulled… etc.)
* Judge's signature
* Certified Stamp, with original signature (it could say this is a True Copy or Copy Teste instead)
* Do NOT send Vital Record or Vital Statistics.  The court will NOT accept.
