Hi all, can anyone help me. I am planning to get married to my Dominican boyfriend in December this year. I am an English Citizen and have been told different variations of the documents that we require. Can anybody please advise of the correct procedure. Thank you

Congratulations Clair. I wish you a happy life together! I got married here 6 years ago. We went to the local "City Hall" one day,showed some I.D.,and the Judge came to the hotel on the night of the wedding. We signed the "Books", and got the papers a few days later at the "city Hall" Gave the judge 500 pesos to come to the hotel.Probably 1000 pesos by now! Keep us informed about how things work out!

I said it and say it again. Get yourself a Separation of Benefits Statement from your lawyer before you marry any Dominican. If he or she refuses to sign it, you got yourself the answer you needed it. To me that is the most important document for a marriage here. If you dont believe me, come back again in a couple of years and tell me how things are going.

100 % agree!! Since I have asked for does Papers his humor fadet away and also the interest to get married with me!!
He was in Europe, visiting me for two weeks, to check out what he will get. I was only one of many women beeing checked out as a future life-supporter...
It was hard to find out the sad story and it still hurds a little, but I'm more than happy it endet likes this.
I still love the Island and I'm coming back twice a year, but
I stay away from Domenican men.
Regards Gini

Claire, I have lived here for about 7 years.My wife and I both have good jobs. She is 24 and I am 54.We have 2 boys with another baby coming in june. You need a good bit of $$$ to survive here. I must warn you that the Dominican culture gives men a lot of "freedoms" not tolerated in the US! I am originally from Illinois, but have lived all over the world. That is probably why I still live outside the US. It will be a true test of your love if your marriage can survive the trials of living in the DR! Again Good Luck! Criss
