- Type needed information
on both forms (Application for Marriage License, & License and Certificate
of Marriage). Then print out both forms. Then sign both forms: on the
License and Certificate of Marriage, groom to sign #15 and bride to
sign #16; and on the Application for Marriage License, both sign where
it says "signature" in the proper columns for groom and bride.
Both forms are then mailed with the other items below.
- Applications
should attach a letter with the application detailing:
1. Dates of visit to the island.
2. The date you plan to pick up your marriage license.
- If either
party is divorced, a certified copy of divorce decree must accompany
the application (a "certified copy" is stamped with the raised
seal from the court where your divorce was issued). A certified copy
from Vital Statistics is not accepted. The certified copy must come
from the court where the divorce was issued. If former partner is deceased,
a certified copy of the death certificate must accompany the application.
Divorce decrees and death certificates must be in english.
- A postal
money order or certified check for $100.00 made out to the Superior
Court of the USVI must accompany the application. ($50.00 for application
and $50.00 for the license)
- The Superior
court must receive your marriage license application at least 8 days
prior to you picking up your license on St Thomas.
- The couple
must pick up their marriage license in person from the Superior
Court, with a form of photo identification and your copy of the postal
money order reciept. To protect yourself, it's a good idea to photostat
everything you mail to the superior court and bring
it with you when you pick up your marriage license. The Superior
Court is located in the Alexander Farrely Justice Complex on the waterfront
in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (Federal Building). The court is open
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday and 10 a.m. to 12 noon on
Saturdays.
- If you
want to pick up your marriage license on a day the court is closed (Sundays
and Holidays), you may do so between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. There is an
additional charge of $150. Please speak with me about how to avoid this.
- Your
wedding officiate, Anne Marie Porter, is ordained by the American Fellowship
Church.

Helpful Hint: Two weeks after mailing your application, phone the marriage
license clerk, Ms Monsanto, and ask for your license number and tell her
when you will pick up your license. 340-774-6680 ext. 6207. If
you get her answering machine, leave the spelling of the grooms name and
the date you mailed your application, and the date you will pick up your
license.
