For those wishing to get married in Tahiti, lots of mundane paperwork is required, much of which must be prepared before your arrival. These include:

birth certificate for bride and groom (issued within the last 3 months) including translation into French;
premarital medical certificate for bride and groom (issued within the last 2 months);
certificate of residency (1 month of residency at least);
birth certificate of children to be legitimized;
copy of the notarized marriage contract (foreign born persons);
customary certificate
certificate of celibacy

Foreign nationals must post the publication of marriage bans for 10 days with the appropriate authorities at their place of residence and have the witnessing certificate.

Most couples get married officially in their home country and then have an exotic ceremony in Tahiti
