Can I marry a foreign person in Colombia?

Yes, the marriage between a person with Colombian nationality and a foreigner can take place without any inconvenience. The only thing is that, in the case of a foreigner, in addition to the birth certificate, a certificate of single status issued by the authority that certifies the civil status in the country of origin must be provided. It is also important to bear in mind that any document issued abroad must be apostilled or legalised and, if it is in a language other than Spanish, it must be officially translated. In neither case is it necessary to prove residence in the country for a period of six (6) months or more.
