Hi

I don't know how accurate this is but I've received information stating that the embassy in Rabat is no longer going to provide the documents for marriage in Morocco for British citizens living in the UK, only for British citizens living abroad. For British citizens in the UK, a certificate of non impediment is required from your local registry office.


To summarise again, I've just heard the British embassy in Morocco is no longer providing the certification for marriage to British citizens living in the UK. The embassy appointments are only for British citizens living abroad. And thus British citizens living in the UK need to obtain a certificate of non impediment from their local registry office


Received this news from a family member in Morocco who is related to a judge.

Does anyone have any further information on this?

How to get a marital status affirmation

Apply online and pay £50 for your marital status affirmation and £25 for the certified copy of your passport (£75 in total).

Book an appointment at the British Embassy Rabat or British Honorary Consulate in Marrakech.

Attend your appointment where you can check all the information in the affirmation and make any corrections.

Make your declaration and sign your affirmation.

You’ll need to bring the originals of the documents you upload to your appointment. If you do not do this, the embassy or consulate may not be able to issue your affirmation and you’ll need to reschedule your appointment.


During your appointment, you must check that all the information is correct. It’s your responsibility to make sure your documents are correct.


You must get married within 3 months of getting your affirmation or you’ll need to reapply and pay again.


You only need a marital status affirmation if you do not live in the UK. If you live in the UK, you must get a certificate of no impediment from a UK register office.
