Getting married in the BVI is quite simple and the process can be initiated online at www.crisvi.gov.vg.

Couples can complete their paperwork at the Civil Registry where they provide proof of their identity (passport) and marital status (original certified copies of Decree(s) Absolute for divorced spouses or original Death Certificate(s) of deceased spouse(s)); apply for the license obtain, a marriage certificate and present two witnesses.

The residency requirement for a Special License is one day and the license fee is $220.  There may be additional fees, including: $220 for the Registrar General or marriage officer to perform the ceremony; $120 for the ceremony to be held in the Civil Registry building; and $25 for a certified copy of the marriage license.
