If you have never been married before, Cuba now requires that you have a valid passport for three
months beyond your return date home, and a tourist card. If either the bride or groom has been
married before, the previously married person must, also produce a birth certificate and certificate
of divorce or a certificate of marriage and a Certificate of the Spouse's Death in the case of a widow.
Your Birth Certificate and any divorce/marriage/death documents translated into Spanish and certified
by a notary public and legalized by the Cuban consulate in Canada (service fee applies). You should
also create a document that lists: your names, home address, occupations, level of education, nationality
and the full names of your parents, living or deceased. Attach the photo page of your passport to this
sheet. Fax copies of all documentation in both English and Spanish to your hotel in Cuba at least three
weeks before your arrival. Bring all your original documents with you. Your marriage will be formalized
in the name stated on your passport. Your passport must be correct, and must match that on all your other
documents. Your marriage is legalized by the Canadian Embassy in Havana and the Cuban Foreign Affairs
department.
