Couples often contact us seeking a symbolic ceremony, where they are legally married in the USA or elsewhere but choose to have their wedding ceremony and celebration on our beautiful island. Usually, it’s because they’ve heard or read that being legally married in Puerto Rico is time-consuming and stressful. We’re here to tell you that with our ‘Let us take care of everything’ marriage certificate support package, it’s easy to get married in PR. We’re happy to help take some of the mystery out of the process.
One question we’re often asked is about the ‘stamp’, or ‘sello’ in Spanish. Simply put, this is how the Puerto Rican government collects fees from people. In Puerto Rico, you buy a stamp from an agent or government office, and that stamp is put on official documents to show that you’ve paid the appropriate fee. Sellos are used for car title transfers, local taxes, and, yes, destination wedding fees. They are sold at government collecturias, some banks, and even kiosks and small stores that charge a small commission.
A sello is a yellow sticker with a value printed on them. Depending on where you get your marriage license (we take care of this when you book with us), you simply buy your stamp to pay your Puerto Rico wedding fee and include it with the rest of the paperwork you take to the demographic registrar’s office.
As part of our ‘Let us take care of everything’ marriage certificate support package, we take care of everything you need to get married in Puerto Rico. Contact us for more information!
