Mail-order brides traditionally come from developing countries, such as Colombia, Venezuela, Thailand and Russia. In the past, international marriage agencies such as Cherry Blossoms allowed women to sign up to be listed in picture magazines; now the Internet has largely supplanted this method.

    You are given the opportunity to browse the database of beautiful women. If you like what you see, then the next step is to set up a profile. Note that a number of these websites will state that setting up a profile is free. This is not the case. There will probably be a 30-day free access then the charges will kick in after the free trial period. In order to get the free access you will have to sign up using your credit card. It is advisable to read the fine print on what the charges on your credit card will be after the free trial period. These charges range from about $39.95 to almost $300.

  3. Step 3

    Usually creating a profile is easy. There will usually be a link leading to the sign up page. Hit the link and then fill out the required information. Remember to have your credit card handy. When finished, click "Submit." A confirmation email will then be sent to your personal email address. You will then have to complete the sign up process by clicking the link provided within the email.That's it. You are ready to go.

  4. Step 4

    Once you are signed up, you will have an account with the company and be able to search from a large database for your match. You will be prompted to input all of the criteria you are looking for in a woman.This criteria will be matched with the women in the system and available for your viewing. You will have the option to pick the women you like and placing them in a Favorites folder. By so doing, you can let them know of your interest in them. When you're ready to correspond with a lady, most websites will ask you to upgrade your membership or purchase a credit package to get started. This is more money on top of the membership fee.

  5. Step 5

    In order to meet the bride of your choice, a grueling process has to be endured. After upgrading your status with the website, they send you an "Acknowledgment of Services Received" form via email. You will have to sign and date the form, and send it back via email or fax. Once they receive the completed form, they will contact you to find out which ladies you wish to meet and/or obtain contact information for.

  6. Step 6

    Once they know which ladies you are interested in, they contact the respective agencies of the women you have chosen. The agency director will then contact you to inquire which services you are interested in. The agency can help you: 1. Obtain the personal contact information for each lady; 2. Arrange a first meeting with each lady; 3. Arrange a comprehensive travel package.

  7. Step 7

    After selecting the services you are interested in, the agency will send you a "Client Attestation" form, as required by the International Marriage Broker regulation Act of 2005. This form will require you to fill in information regarding your background, such as the names of all states and countries you have lived in since the age of 18, and your previous marital history.

  8. Step 8

    After completing the Client Attestation form, you then send it back to the agency via fax or email. The agency will then notify the ladies you are interested in, and ask them to visit the office in order to review your Client Attestation. If, after reviewing your Client Attestation, the ladies in question are interested in meeting with you and/or providing you with their contact information, each one will sign a written release with the agency.

  9. Step 9

    Depending upon which services you select, you will be required to pay a fee to the agency. This fee covers the agency's administrative costs for satisfying the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 requirements, in addition to their costs incurred for providing you with the actual services. Fees will vary depending upon the geographical location of the agency in addition to the level of services you choose.

A lot of these websites will have a disclaimer in their agreements making them not liable in the event that the connection between you and your mail order bride does not work.
