Want to get married on Bonaire? It’s possible and easier than ever since resorts and wedding professionals offer packages for both wedding and honeymoons. Anyone can get married on Bonaire but there are some official requirements and paperwork to be done.
Allow 4 to 6 weeks, maybe more, for the licensing and paperwork to be completed. Either the bride or groom has to obtain a temporary resident permit from immigration. Temporary resident permits are required for witnesses who are not already local residents. However, coordinators can help arrange for local witnesses if needed.
Two passport photos and a photocopy of passport’s first page are needed for residency. Certified birth certificates, declaration of marriage by the civil registry and proof of divorce (if applicable) are among the list of required items for the official marriage petition. Ask wedding coordinators for details.
