Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2016 — 25th Anniversary Edition

With our 2016 edition (our 27th), we celebrate 25 years of producing Discover Trinidad & Tobago. Published every year since 1991, Discover Trinidad & Tobago is aimed both at international visitors planning a trip to the islands – whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday – and at local Trinbagonians looking to know and explore more about their native islands. Our comprehensive coverage of Trinidad and Tobago — from arts and culture to eco adventures, accommodation to sports, planning flights and transportation and more — can help anyone plan anything from a day trip or weekend escape, to a full-on an adventure holiday or leisurely vacation. It might take a lifetime to truly experience all that the islands have to offer, but at least we can show you where to start.

A <strong>Tobago</strong> wedding<br />

With a variety of stunning backdrops to choose from, <strong>Tobago</strong> has<br />

become a popular wedding destination. Several resorts and wedding<br />

service providers offer custom packages, including honeymoon<br />

packages, to make your special day absolutely perfect.<br />

Here’s the process:<br />

Non-residents must establish temporary residency in <strong>Tobago</strong> by scheduling any<br />

wedding activities no less than three full days after arrival<br />

They must have a valid return ticket<br />

They must obtain a special marriage license (US$55) at the Inland Revenue<br />

Department (IRD) in Scarborough, with proof of identity (valid passport), and<br />

evidence of their single status, including any relevant divorce decrees and death<br />

certificates. Non-English documents must be accompanied by notarised English<br />

translations. Those who wish to marry under the age of 18 must obtain the written<br />

consent of their parent or guardian. The IRD is open Monday–Friday, 8am–<br />

4pm. The cashier closes for lunch 12–1pm and at 3pm for the day<br />

The wedding ceremony will require two witnesses identified by passport, and<br />

must be performed between 6am and 6pm<br />

The couple will receive two marriage certificates that are accepted in most countries.<br />

It is advisable to check your nation of origin for any additional requirements.<br />
