The wedding ceremony for can then take place at any time after the marriage license application has been granted. Processing of license takes 2-3 days.
The application for the Turks and Caicos Marriage License must be made by a Marriage Officer. This is usually a pastor or minister that has a government license to perform marriage ceremonies. Your Turks and Caicos wedding coordinator or hotel will typically arrange this for you. In addition, the marriage must be performed by a Marriage Officer.
