- 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.
3. Date of wedding & wedding officiate. ( Anne Marie Porter)
4. Your daytime phone number.
- 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
$200.00 made out to the Superior Court of the USVI
must accompany the application. ($100.00 for application and $100.00
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.
