Legal Requirements for your Wedding in Grenada
In Grenada the law requires that visitors be resident on the island for a minimum of three (3) days (including weekends and public holidays) before applying for a licence.
On the third day, the necessary stamp duty and licence fees are paid, and an application for a Marriage Licence is made in person, at the Office of the Prime Minister.
Generally the licence is ready within two (2) working days. This maybe slightly longer if either partner is divorced, as documents must then be sent to the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
