Hi all,

We invite all the ones who got married in Guatemala or who are about to get married in Guatemala to participate in this thread

What are the formalities to get married in Guatemala? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple (between a foreigner and a native of Guatemala)?

Are the procedures complicated?

How long does it take to carry out all the formalities?

Thank you in advance for participating,

Armand

I got married in Guatemala City. I had to go thru a lawyer and first they put an announcement in the paper. I then had to wait 14 days. I cut it really close since this delayed put me close to my departure date. I got married two days before leaving. Now trying to get him to the states has been a nightmare. We just celebrated 2 yrs and he still has not gotten a visa.
