Marriage In Colombia Advice

One other option:  Get married in the UK, get all your paperwork there.  Then, come to Colombia and do the wedding you want.  For me, a wedding is different than getting a paper with "Marriage Certificate" on it.

Get the paperwork updated once you get to Colombia....or do the paperwork at the Colombian consulate in the UK.

I don't know how it works for a Brit, but I will try to enlighten you as to my experience as an American. If you have ever been married before, you have to get a copy of your divorce decree, then you will have to get a statement of bachelorhood. That has to be from the state that issued the divorce. You also have to get an original  birth certificate issue from the state that you were born in, not more than 90 days old, and all these documents have to be translated to Spanish, by a certified translater. All these documents have to be Apostilled by the Secretary of  state that issued them. Then they have to be approved by the judge that is going to marry you. Here is the fun part, no judge is obligated to marry a foreigner to a Colombian National. When you find a judge that will marry you if you are not fluent in spanish, he can make you hire a translater. This is how it was in 2016.
