What makes certificate requests go wrong
1) Wrong names
If the spelling doesn’t match the recorded entry, the request can stall.
2) Wrong purpose
Passport/benefits/apostille can require different handling—state your use-case.
3) Waiting too long
If you have deadlines, start early and keep the request clean.

FAQs
Is a Bahamas marriage certificate the same as a marriage license?
No. The license is the permission to marry; the certificate is the recorded proof after registration.
How long does it take to get a certified copy?
Timelines vary based on your request details and processing. Send your wedding date, island, and names so I can guide you cleanly.
What information do I need to request a copy?
Names as recorded, wedding date (or range), and island/location. Add your purpose (benefits, passport, apostille) for the cleanest path.
Do I need apostille for my country?
Some countries and institutions require it. If you’re unsure, tell me your country and intended use.
Which islands do you cover?
Nassau and Paradise Island are most common; Exuma, Eleuthera, Harbour Island, Grand Bahama, Andros, and Abaco are also supported depending on logistics and timing.
