Certificate of No-Impediment to Marriage

[sitamari 3]

Here is an email I received today (08/30/2011) from the Registrar General regarding the Certificate of No-Impediment to Marriage. My fiance lives in MoBay, so I'm assuming anyone could go to their local Registrar General's office.

I hope someone else may find it helpful!

"Please be advised that your fiancé can visit the branch office of the Registrar General’s Department in Montego Bay and apply for the No-Impediment certificate. He will need to provide the information to the Customer Service Representative. He just needs to give them the details of his birth his father’s name and the parish he lives in since age 16 in Jamaica. The cost will be J$5500 and the turn around time is 7-10 business days.

If there is any other matter you will like us to address please feel free to contact us at information@rgd.gov.jm

Do have a great day. “We aim to satisfy”"

Hey there... glad that you got some information from them. But please, please, please apply for that as soon as possible when its closer to your interview date. My fiance applied with the 7-10 business day processing and two weeks later it was still nowhere near being completed. Just a suggestion. Happy filing.

Thank you Nikki!! I appreciate all the advice I can get! Our I-129F was approved on August 24th. Do you think it's too early to have him apply for the no-impediment now? I don't want him to get anything too prematurely but I am trying to get him as prepared as possible! I just don't want anything to be outdated by the time we get to the interview.

Thanks again!

Order it right away Sita!! Please, please do not delay... do a search on here for RGD and you will see NUMEROUS occasions where it took MONTHS to get this form!!

[JAPrincess 27]

Not saying that it will take months, but you have NOA2 and it is best to get on it right away!

Just wanted to note, Lance went to the RGD and they told him he had to have his birth certificate to apply for this. So even though it was not requested in the email from them, they apparently do request it at times.

What exaclty is an no-impediment certificate? I am in the process of filling out the I-129F and am just beginning the process. Is this something I should have my fiancee request at the registrar generals, or does that happen after I send out the I-129F?

Hi Katie, he will have to have the certificate of no impediment to marriage for his interview. He gets it from the Registrar General's office. It costs $5500 JA for the express service, which is supposed to take 7 days, but if you look at alot of other posts on here you will see that it has taken longer for alot of people. Once you get the NOA2, it is one of the things he will have to work on getting for his interview.

Interesting little piece of information I hear from my fiance yesterday.... and just seeing the receipt via Skype now!

He went to the Registar's Office in St. Ann's Bay and they now charge $6,600 for the NO IMPEDIMENT expedited!!! So the price has gone up and get this, They told him they're delivering the form to him?? They sat him down and wrote down the exact directions to his home, and he's waaaay uppa bush, and said they'll be delivering it in 3 days, to his door.

Hi EagleEyed, my fiance lives in Falmouth but he went to the RGD in Montego Bay and ordered the expedited No impediment as well. He didn't have any problems, although it did take longer than 3 days. I think it took 9 business days and the courier called him to tell him he would be in Falmouth at a certain time so Lance met him at a store there. There were several other people waiting as well. All in all, it went pretty smoothly.
