Important - What Expedited Does NOT Change
- Ministry of Justice processing: Still requires 5-7 business days to issue a Minister's Licence. We cannot bypass this.

- Physical document delivery: Courier transit times still apply (FedEx/DHL typically 2-3 days from overseas).

Add Expedited Processing - $250Frequently Asked Questions
Will expedited processing guarantee my wedding date?
It guarantees our fastest internal handling, but we cannot guarantee government processing times. If your wedding requires a new Minister's Licence, the Ministry still takes 5-7 business days regardless of expedited fees.
Is the expedited fee refundable?
The expedited fee is non-refundable once we begin processing your documents. If you cancel before any work is done, we will refund the fee minus a $50 administrative charge.
Can I add expedited processing after booking?
Yes! You can purchase the expedited fee separately using the link above. Contact us immediately so we can prioritize your existing booking.
Does this speed up my marriage certificate?
RGD processing still takes 7-10 business days. However, we will file your marriage register as soon as possible and coordinate priority handling where available.
What if I already have my Minister's Licence?
Expedited processing still helps with document verification, ceremony script, and priority coordination. You can add it to any package even if you already have your licence.
How do I send my physical documents?
Courier or deliver in person to: 22B Old Hope Road, Kingston 5, Jamaica. After shipping, email us the tracking number so we can monitor delivery.
