- 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). If former partner is deceased, a certified
copy of the death certificate must accompany the application.
- 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 clerck, 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.
