Step 1
COMPLETE A NOTICE OF INTENDED MARRIAGE
Download a Notice of Intended Marriage form or request one from the Bermuda Government's Registrar General's office
Effective April 1, 2014, the rules require you to fill out the form and mail it back to the Registrar General along with a cashier's cheque or bank draft made payable to the Accountant General, Hamilton, Bermuda, in the amount of $368 USD (includes certificate). Copies of final divorce decrees or death certificates, if applicable, must also be included.
Mail the application to the
Registrar General,
Government Administration Building,

This submitted notice will result in a wedding license valid for three months.

Step 3
FIND AN OFFICIANT & TWO WITNESSES
Marriages may only be performed by a registered Marriage Officer (clergy), the Registrar General or an Assistant Registrar General. The Registrar General/Assistant Registrar General can only perform a wedding at the Registry itself.
If you're having an off-site ceremony, you’ll need to hire a clergy member – your wedding consultant can help with that. You’ll also need two witnesses over 18 years of age present at the ceremony. Go to the Registrar General’s website for more details. The Registrar will happily supply witnesses at your request (Monday through Friday only).
