I am so confused as to what documents I need to legalised to get married, help!

I am from the UK and going over to Morocco hopefully to get married this October.  I already have an appointment with the embassy but I am unsure regarding the situation about what documents need to be translated, what document needs to be legalised, and what document can use copies and how many copies I need.

Like my birth certificate…..I only have 1 copy…as is most people.  I will not and cannot give that away.  Do they need to just look at it or do I need to submit a photocopy?

Do I submit a photocopy then or do I get that translated?

Do I legalise the original (which sounds suspect to me….why would I need to legalise a legal document……). Or Do I legalise a photocopy?  Same as my Passport.  How do I submit my passport to the judge? Same as the letter from Employer or payslips.  They will all be in English in their original form.

Can someone please advise me?  I am confused as to what document I need to legalise and I find the idea of legalising an already legal document like ACRO to be weird.

What kind of Stamps ? Like postage stamps? 1st Class?

How do I get these stamps?

Go through all of that, or.....simply get married overseas and just *register* the marriage in Morocco.

Requirements:

1) Notarised/apostilled marriage certificate

2) Translation of above

3) Certificate of conversion to Islam (if the male was not born in a Muslim country)

Done!

Me and my fiancé finished till police verification process.

Court are going through strikes so we got our documents received at court confirmation after almost 15 days and 4 follow up visits.

Now I am not sure how to plan my next process next week as court are to be open on Monday and Friday, that's what I am told.

Anyone need help feel free to drop me a line as I just got married in May and it only took me 3 working days and there are few things that you have to be very mindful of that as a slightest mistake would cost you a setback on time.

Salaam bro

Just following up on your message about helping anyone in the process of getting married in Morocco.

What city did you manage to get everything done in three days?! That's impressive!

Any advise/help appreciated.

Thank you

@muzzichuzzi

3 days? I mean is that how long it took you to process the marriage application?

@Bill Shepherd

But that depends on the girl you want to marry. I mean most of the time it isn't easy for the Moroccan girl as well as her family to accept that.

@london185

My friend I have an appointment at the consulate in Marrakesh what forms of id do I need to have to complete this appointment or what do I need to take with me any details and specifics will be real helpful thank you kindly in advance

@khanc85

Guys I have an appointment at the consulate in Marrakesh in January if anyone can please kindly state what I need exactly before arrival I would be greatful thank you kindly

@U M52

'Accept' what?

@U M52

What are you talking about? You get married next door in Ceuta or Gibraltar, have the party in Morocco, and register the marriage in Morocco. It takes no more than one week! You save months of wasted time and A LOT of money!

@Rvrtltn

They tell you in the confirmation email exactly what you need. Your passport and your partners Moroccan I.D.

And a card to make payment. Nothing more to it. Quite straightforward.

@jd221279

Hi, could you let me know if I am able to just do the notarising and apostille in the UK before travelling to Morocco to save time instead of having to go to the consulate.

Secondly which documents need to be notarised...I am divorced, I know the CNI (certificate of no impediment) must be, but other documents like divorce papers, naturalisation certificates and passport etc.

Thank you

@jd221279

Hi,

I'd like to know which documents need to be notarised and apostilled, divorce papers, Certificate of No impediment, naturalisation certificate....etc?

Also could I notarise and apostille those in the UK before I travel instead of having to go to the British consulate?

I can't find any where a link to make an appointment at the British Consulate/ Embassy in Morocco to complete the affirmation.

The gov uk webpage has the process to complete the appllication and says that an appointment can be made after that.

Problem is I have to be divorced before I can complete it, and I am not divorced yet (it's in process) but I keep reading that it's necessary to make an appointment months in advance.

Do I really have to wait for my divorce to be finalised and then apply after that and wait months more for an appointment?

If you know the date on or around of your divorce then you can still make an appointment after that date. You have to show your final divorce order at the embassy.

@R124JU

Divorce papers yes, in UK. Other two, I don't know.

How do I make an appointment? Is there a link?

Try here

Okay, thanks. I emailed the British embassy in Rabat earlier about this, and they replied immediately that I couldn't make an appointment without completing the application online first. Alhamdulillah. It seems that I can.

@hanunyafa1

You can, I did.

I then paid for my appointment after.

Alhamdulillah.

@Yasmin21

hi Yasmin,

can the final divorce order be e-Apostille or paper based Apostille?

@Umarulhasan

I got mine paper based. I believe that's the only type they will accept.

@jd221279

Hi I'm planning to marry my partner who is morrocan & I'm indain but got baptised 12 yrs ago & now Christian,  I really could do with your help & advice please.

@jd221279

Hi I could really do with some advice from you as I'm planning on marriage to a morrocan man

@jasaujila1

Same situation for me. I'm an Indian and planning to marry a Moroccon partner. The formalities are very tedious. Is there any option for you to call her to India and get married as that will be very easy. Or else you will have to arrange tons of documents to go there and marry. A member called Ben shared the info with me he was very helpful. Il share it with you.

@jasaujila1

Why are you marrying a Muslim women, whilst you’re Christian?

That’s prohibited in our religion - there’s no way around it.

Why is she even dating, in a haram relationship (as a Muslim woman)

والله المستعان

@Aa.Guest

Read properly the past thread. It is a Cristian lady who’s  marrying a Muslim Moroccan man. What’s the problem?

@Umarulhasan

Thank you for pointing that out to others

@sabirsyed2020

@muzzichuzzi

@jasaujila1

Hello,

Where do you want to marry ? In UK or Morocco ?

Bhavna

@jasaujila1

Hello. For you the process must be very simple as you want to marry a Moroccon man. I think you only need your passport and an appointment in a local court. Is it possible for you to travel Morocco and get married. You can get it registered in Morocco and then UK.  I am traveling to Morocco in January with all the docs I can arrange and then see what happens. It's a daunting task for me coz the girl is from Morocco and guy (me) from India.

@jd221279

Hi can you send me details of your lawyer you used as I'm going to do this in June please

@jd221279

Hi yes I could do with some advise about this & which lawyer you used, if you could send me details.

@jasaujila1

Hello,

I don't think he still reads the forum.

I hope someone else can recommend a professional.
