You need several documents to get married in Cuba and all of them have to be legalized (made legal for use in Cuba) by the Cuban Embassy in your country. Everyone needs: 1. A valid passport 2. Birth Certificate 3. Affidavit of Single Status If you are divorced or widowed, you will need documentation of these circumstances.

Good question! For Canadian citizens, the process takes approximately 4 - 6 weeks. For American citizens, the process takes approximately 9 - 12 weeks. These timelines are assuming that you already have all of the documents necessary to start the process, and that you were born in either Canada or the United States. If you were born outside Canada or the US, your documents will have to go through an extra step which can add another 1 - 2 weeks of processing time. All timelines are approximate and are not guaranteed.

Yes! Just like any other immigration application, you are completely allowed to go through the process on your own without any representation or assistance. Having someone assist you with the process does not make the Cuban Embassy "take your application more seriously" or give you any privilege over someone who does not have help. The benefit of having help with this process is to ensure you don't make a mistake which could cause your application to get refused, cause a delay in your process, or cause you to lose money you have already paid because you are unable to get married in Cuba. Getting the paperwork to get married in Cuba is a complicated process, even moreso in the United States, and even when you know what you're doing, you can still have to deal with unexpected hurdles like government shutdowns and backlogs.

Someone does! But we do that for you. If you are a US Citizen getting married in Cuba, we serve your documents at the Cuban Embassy in Washington DC in person and then pick them up in person when they are ready. If you are a Canadian citizen, we get your documents to the appropriate Cuban Diplomatic Mission in either Toronto, Ottawa, or Montreal depending on where you live.

The Cuban Embassy and Consulate do not answer phone calls, emails, or any other type of correspondence. This is exactly why we only serve your documents in person - otherwise there is no way to know what is going on.

We accept the following methods of payment: Visa Mastercard Amex Interac e-transfer (Canada only) Cash

Once you get to Cuba, you will get married at the Consultoria Juridica Internacional located nearest to where your fiance lives. Once you have your legalized documents from the Cuban Embassy, your fiance can make the appointment for your marriage. There are many local offices all over Cuba - you do not need to go to Havana. There, a Cuban Notary Public will marry you and issue confirmation of your marriage. Don't forget that you have to pay the Consultoria CUC625.00 in order for them to marry you.

Yes - as long as your marriage meets the requirements for legality in Cuba and in your country of nationality, it is legally recognized. With very few exceptions, all marriages in Cuba are legal in Canada or in the United States. Exceptions would include bigamy/polygamy (already being married when you marry someone else), underage marriage, etc. - things which would make a marriage illegal in any country. Gay marriage is not allowed in Cuba.

No - your marriage is legal in all countries without taking additional steps. If you need to use your marriage certificate for immigration or other purposes, it simply needs to be translated to the specifications of the government agency who will review the document.

No - once you are married, then you can submit an application to the immigration authorities in your country to get a green card for your spouse to live with you there. Unfortunately, you are not able to bring your spouse home without going through the immigration process, which is separate and different from the marriage process. We can assist you with the immigration process as well.

Cuban citizens require a visa in order to enter both Canada and the United States. It is exceptionally difficult for Cuban citizens to have visa applications approved. Both the US and Canadian Embassies are closed in Cuba at this time. Cubans can still apply for visas, but the process is difficult and frequently results in a refusal. Almost everyone ends up applying for permanent residence (a green card) for their spouse to permanently reside with them. Find out more about sponsoring your Cuban spouse to Canada

It is extremely rare for visitor visas to Canada to be approved for Cuban citizens, even when they are married to Canadians. Due to the economic conditions in Cuba, the Canadian government usually does not believe that a Cuban citizen will return home at the end of their visit. This is why most visitor visa applications from Cuba are refused. Cubans can still apply for a visa to visit family and friends in Canada. Because the Canadian Embassy in Havana does not accept immigration applications any longer, visitor visa applications for Cubans can only be submitted online.

You may have seen the TV show "90-day fiance." Guests on this reality show apply for the K-1 visa for their fiance to come to the US in order for them to get married. Cuban citizens are eligible to apply for the K-1 visa. However, it is extremely rare for this type of visa application to be approved for a Cuban citizen due to the diplomatic relations between Cuba and the US. As the US Embassy in Cuba is closed, applicants must fly to another country to attend an interview with a US immigration officer before a decision can be made on their application. Despite this, most applications from Cuban citizens for a K-1 are refused.

Yes! However, you still have to go through an immigration process to do so. First, some of your documents will have to be legalized by the Cuban Embassy in your country just like the process for you to get married. Then you will finish the immigration process through the Ministerio de Immigracion in Cuba. We can assist you with the leglization of your documents.

We will create the Affidavit of Single Status for you based on your documents to ensure that it has all of the mandatory information for acceptance by the Cuban Embassy.

No - we create the affidavit ourselves for two reasons: 1. To ensure that the document meets all of the standards at the state/provincial level, national level, and for the Cuban Embassy, and 2. The affidavit begins to expire as soon as it is signed. In order not to lose time, we create a new affidavit as soon as you start the process.

No - we have new translations issued for your documents when the time comes for two reasons: 1. Our translators are familiar with the mandatory requirements for documents to be certified and authenticated, as well as legalized by the Cuban Embassy. 2. The translations must be done at a different point in the process for the US and Canada. We have the translations done by our translators to make sure that they meet the requirements, and that all of the necessary information is included. If your documents have already been translated, the certifications would not be included in the translation.

Your legalized documents are valid for marriage in Cuba for 6 months from the date you signed your affidavit.
