Might I suggest That before you join a website you read some of the past posts. Perhaps the search box at the top left is there for a reason...hmmm let me see...type "marry in colombia"......OMG.. 190 previous posts.

Good luck and welcome to PBH

ok
I will tell you exactly what you need.
2 things.
you need a notarized copy of your birth certificate.
this document must be less than 3 months old.
if it is more than 3 moths old, it is worthless there.
also you need a letter of solitarity.
this is a notarized original of a letter stating you are not already married. and less than 3 months old.
signed by two people stating they have known you for at least ten years.
Both papers must be sent to your states capital and apostilled.
without the apostille they are also worthlesss there.
Find a notaria in Colombia who has a translater working in the same office. Because the papers must also be translated into espanol when you are there.
This is exactly what you need, regardless of what anyone else tells you. I know because I recently did it.......Good luck.
