Requirements

There is a different process for visitors and residents to get married in the Cayman Islands. A local or resident is described as someone who has lived in the Cayman Islands for more than 15 days. They must have their Banns of Marriage published for 7 days, through a process called "posting of the Banns of Marriage". Visitors must be married under a "Special Marriage License" issued under the authority of the Governor of the Cayman Islands. If one party to the wedding is a resident and the other is a visitor, then the wedding is performed under the authority of "Banns of Marriage".
