Hey, I’m a Mexican married to a British. The way I see it, you only have two options:
1. Getting married in Las Vegas: As Mexicans, we need a visa to travel to USA. If she doesn’t currently have it, don’t even try to apply for one. At present, It’s getting really hard to get a visa.
2. Getting married in Mexico: that’s what I did. My husband and I got married in Mexico City, as it’s the easiest way to book a date at any city Hall + less requirements for foreign citizens.
This is a super short list of what we were asked to bring to prebook it:
- -My Mexican passport and my husband’s British passport
-Husband’s original British birth certificate + certified translation to Spanish from an Expert Translator (authorised by the Superior Court of Justice in Mexico City). It's easy to find, don't worry.
-My Mexican Birth certificate.
-The marriage form signed by both of us
-Proof of residency in Mexico City (water or phone bill. I used my parents bills for example and it's fine).
-My husband's landing card as a proof he entered legally to the country
-Pass the prenup course: Once you prebook the appointment with the original documents and pay, you will have to attend to an 1hr prenup course, and you will either get a certificate or be registered as pass. Then, you will be able to attend to your definite date.
The marriage booking process took us 20 days to complete plus 2 weeks to get the marriage certificate issued.
What I recommend you is to get married in Mexico City and not in other state (otherwise, as British citizen, you will be required to go under medical tests + getting a certificate from the UK stating you are free to marry + translation). Also, tell your girlfriend to call to all the main city Halls in the city and kindly ask for the closest estimated date. That’s how I’ve found mine. Hope that helps.
we will be heading to the states to get married as she has all of the required visas to travel there.
