Civil marriages in French Polynesia
Long recognized as one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations in the world, overseas visitors will also now be able to get married in French Polynesia after the French government gave the green light for foreign marriages to be conducted in Tahiti and her islands.
The minimum 30-day residence criteria has been done away with under the new legislation meaning visitors will be able to get married in a romantic Tahitian ceremony as long as they also go through a civil ceremony which must be conducted at a local city hall. Previously visitors could only undergo a symbolic French Polynesian marriage or a renewal of wedding vows legally exchanged elsewhere.
For the requirements, please have a look at the downloads below. The final details are still being absolutely finlised and we should have all final confirmationsof criteria by mid-2010.

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE CEREMONIES
In addition to a civil marriage, the couple may organise a traditional wedding ceremony, without legal implications, to complete a civil marriage or to renew their vows. Most of the hotels, as well as the Tiki Village on Moorea, offer this type of service. In hotels, honeymooners are welcomed with "honeymoon gifts". Numerous services for honeymooners are also available (romantic dinner, floral bouquets, private excursions).
