Getting married in Jamaica.... What happens when we get home?

I read on the government website that marriages abroad cannot be registered but you can give them a copy of the marriage certificate so that it can go on their records and also to make it easier for you to obtain a copy of the certificate if ever needed, rather than having to contact the country that you get married in! Alls I wanna know really is does my name automatically change once we are married, then I just need to notify the relevant people - bank/work/bills etc?? X

It's exactly the same as if you get married in the UK. You inform everybody, and you will probably have to send off your marriage certificate for verification

Hi, somebody on another forum I was on had also helpfully suggested that it would be worthwile while you are there to get a duplicate or two of the certificate because if you ever need one later on,it may be a bit of a pain .

IN regards to the name change...as Ice Queen says,it is a matter of informing everyone like when you change address- make a list when you have time and add to it as you go along...D.V.L.A., doctors,banks etc etc. I'm not looking forward to that bit,lol x
