When you hear the word Colombia, what comes to mind? Bogota? Palm trees? Aguardiente? Beaches? Tropical weather? Football?

Or has it been a worthwhile dream of yours to pursue a Colombian life partner?

Having a Colombian bride may sound too ambitious or cheesy, but there's always the possibility that you can make it happen. You're probably thinking about where to start looking. Perhaps, you don’t have any idea what to do.

Thanks to technology and innovation, they brought the emergence of social networking and online dating websites. Most of these platforms will require you to create an account, and you’re good to go. Sounds quick and easy until you start looking for a potential online dating partner among a plethora of women’s profiles.

The chances of meeting your happy-ever-after on Tinder, Instagram, or Facebook are slim because you don’t know the person behind the virtual persona unless you decide to go and meet her. On the flip side, the chances of encountering a poser on various social media sites are ridiculously high.

If you know exactly where to look or what platform to choose, you’ll be one step closer to finding your Colombian wife. For starters, don’t limit your search to only social media and dating websites. If you’re familiar with online matchmaking and mail order brides, then give it a try.

But wait, do you know which websites to sign up for?

Don’t fret! Here are some of the things you need to check when looking for legitimate international matchmaking websites:

Business permit

One rule of thumb when it comes to dealing with or transacting with businesses that offer products and services is to look for their local business permit. It’s one of the most tell-tale signs that the company is allowed to operate in the area.

In the case of an international matchmaking website, their agency has a physical office somewhere. You can start by asking for a permit from their main office to ensure that they, including their affiliates, are operating legally.

Most of these websites don’t publish their business permit online; hence, you can ask for a copy via email. If you’re hesitant to ask, remember that your security and safety are on the line. It pays to be vigilant now rather than regret it later.

Certificates

You’ll know if an organization is credible when it can present several certificates to validate their service.

International matchmaking is a unique industry because both parties are requested to submit certain documents for verification. Also, the company should comply with local and international laws. If they can provide you with a certificate, it can be proof that they are not involved in human trafficking or any other illegal activities.

Moreover, you can ask for digital certificates to ensure that your personal data and information are not collected when using their website. If the company can present you with either of these, it will give you peace of mind and a sense of security, knowing that your investments will be worth it.

Credible proof

If they show you actual videos or photos of people interacting in a recently concluded event, then you’ll know that it’s the real deal.

Reputable international matchmaking websites will always keep a record of their successful events and clients so they can make a testimonial, an interview, or a story about their journey to marrying a foreign bride.

Keep your eyes peeled for clues to identify if the proof they present is staged. Ask for the event location and see if it really matches what you see in the videos or photos. You’ll also know if you see the name tags of the organizers and the participating men and women in the event.

Not asking for a huge amount of money upfront

If the website asks for a lump sum as a registration fee, it's an obvious indication that they just want your money.

Dating websites will allow users to sign up for a free account. Some websites might ask for a small fee and will let you use some of their services for free. However, it is usually the other way around.

Also, women on international matchmaking platforms don't ask for money. Pick a website where you aren't obliged to give anything unless you want to.

Matching you with real women

How can you create a connection with the woman you’re communicating with if she’s not real? You’re probably pissed off at a recent online chat experience where you’ve gotten non-sequitur replies. Hence, choosing the right platform can drastically enhance your online dating experience and increase the chances of meeting the woman in your life.

International dating websites don’t introduce bots on their platforms but rather real women you can see and talk to. Some websites offer virtual meetings, phone calls, or Skype introductions, while others let you opt for services that allow you to meet and greet women personally.

International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA)

If an agency complies with IMBRA, Colombian women participating in the matchmaking event will undergo several profiling processes to ensure safety and security. Also, if you are a U.S. resident and have pure intentions of marrying a Colombian woman, your best chance of making your dreams come true is to pick a company that complies with IMBRA.

Working with an IMBRA-compliant agency will help ease the K-1 visa processing of your fiancée. Not only will you get a shot at marrying your dream Colombian bride, but also bring her home sooner.

These are the factors you need to consider when looking for legitimate international matchmaking and mail order bride websites. Keep in mind that security, convenience, and safety should always be your priority.

The ultimate quest to find the right international dating agency is just half the process. The other half is to go out and meet her in Colombia!

If you’re not into online dating, you can personally go out and meet Colombian women by attending singles tours and social matchmaking events organized by various trustworthy international dating companies.

There are no limitations to finding a Colombian woman to be your bride except for the ones you create.
