License Information
for Same Sex Weddings
-
- Because the couple must pick up their marriage license in person from the Superior Court, with a form of photo identification and your copy of the postal money order receipt. Equally important to protecting yourself, it’s a good idea to photostat everything you mail to the superior court and bring it with you when you pick up your marriage license. The Superior Court is located in the Alexander Farrelly Justice Complex on the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (Federal Building). The court is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
Equally important to know, when you go to the court to pick up your marriage license, there is a dress code:
No Shorts, halter tops, flip flops, or beachwear. The court wants the men to wear long pants and women to wear dresses. - If you want to pick up your marriage license on a day the court is closed (Sundays and Holidays), you may do so between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. There is an additional charge of $150. Please speak with me about how to avoid this.
- Your wedding officiate, Anne Marie Porter, is ordained by the American Fellowship Church.
