Getting Married in Mexico: Requirements for Canadian Official Documents

Your wedding day is a special and significant occasion, and you want to make sure everything is in order. If you have chosen Mexico as the location for your big day, you need to ensure that your official documents are validated before you arrive. This validation process involves Apostille, Authentication, and Legalization.

How to Apostille Canadian Documents for Use in Mexico

Canada is not a member of The Hague Apostille convention, and as a result, all documents from Canada used in Mexico must undergo the authentication and legalization process. Some of the most common documents required for marriage in Mexico are Birth Certificates and Divorce Certificates. If you need more information on the specific type of Canadian Birth Certificate required, please see our article on Birth Certificate Apostille, Authentication, and Legalization. If you have been married before, your Divorce Certificate may also be required.

It is essential that each document be authenticated by Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa before it can be accepted for your marriage in Mexico. It is important to note that there are several different styles of documents, and our team can assist you in making sure you have the correct ones through a consultation.
