Application of License Information Related to Intended Marriages in Bermuda PERSONS RESIDING OUTSIDE OF BERMUDA MAY BE MARRIED IN A "RELIGIOUS CEREMONY" BY A MINSTER (A MARRIAGE OFFICER) OR IN A "CIVIL CEREMONY" BY THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, BUT IN EITHER CASE THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. Where a marriage is intended to be celebrated by a Marriage Officer (a Minister of Religion) or contracted before the Registrar General (a Civil Marriage) under the authority of the Registrar General's Certificate, the "Notice of Intended Marriage" (click here for printable copy) is posted in a conspicuous place in the Registry General for a period of not less than fourteen full days from the date of the receipt in the Registry, and is also published twice in local newspapers. At any time not later than three months after the date of the receipt of the "Notice of Intended Marriage", or earlier than the prescribed fourteen days mentioned in paragraph 1., the Registrar General, on application of either of the parties to the intended marriage, will issue a certificate PROVIDED that no caveat has been entered. In the case of divorced persons, a copy of the final decree must be submitted to the Registry General with the Notice. Processing of the application will not commence until the necessary divorce documents have been received. Where a party to an intended marriage, not being a widower, is under the age of twenty-one years, the consent of the following persons must be obtained in writing and signed by: both parents if alive, or the surviving parent; in the case of divorced or separated parents, then the parent who has custody of the minor; if both parents are dead, then the lawfully appointed guardian. IN ANY EVENT, THE CONSENT MUST BE ATTESTED TO BY A NOTARY PUBLIC. The fee for the two newspaper publications, the license and a registered marriage certificate is $243.00 (Bermuda Dollars or U.S. Dollars) and should be remitted at the same time as the completed "Notice of Intended Marriage", by Bank Draft or Money Orders made payable to the Accountant General, Hamilton, Bermuda.
