@Benson Harrison

Thank you so much for sharing this brother. I am an Indian citizen, living in the UK too and I am looking to get married to a Moroccan national, living in Morocco. Can  I please talk to you on whatapp whenever you are available. Many thanks

Many thanks brother. May Allah bless you.

@Benson Harrison

Thank you so much brother. I am also an Indian national, living in the UK. Could you please answer the below queries at your convenience:

1) Capacity of marriage issued by consulate of home country.- India does not issue any such document, what you need to do is draft this on a piece of blank paper, post it to india to your family and ask them to submit it on your behalf to MEA outsource agency - Do I need to make notary in the UK? Is Sub-Magistrate's stamp not needed before the apostille process?

2) Certificate of conversion to Islam. - This is made in Morocco and for me, my adoul did this process within next working day - What are the required documents? Also, "Mohammed" is mentioned in my name and my father's name on my passport, do I still need this certificate?

3) Updated birth certificate and 4) Certificate of nationality  - Can these two be applied together or these are two separate processes?

5) Criminal records from home country. I got this apostilled as well - I applied for PCC at HCI in London, do I need to apostille it in India or can I do it in the UK as it will be issued in the UK?

7) Residential certificate.-  In my case this was my British residence permit as I'm a resident here and not in India - I have a BRP card, Will a photo copy of this be okay ? Also, this is going to expire in one month after the planned date of getting married but I am planning to apply for further. Will this be an issue?

8) Criminal records from ministry of justice Morocco. This is in rabat. You can apply it online and collect it from Rabat but it will not come with stamp as its an online version and you have to request for it, because the court will not accept this document without stamp - How many days before the arrival you recommend me to apply this? Can I apply online from UK and collect it from their office after arrival ? And how can I request it with a stamp? You recommend me to apply it in person?

Many thanks brother. May Allah bless you.

@Aslamuk

Dont do notary yourself, the agency does it for u.

Certificate of conversion is there choice. I cant say if theyll accept you as muslim or not. Its made in morocco by adul.

yes both are applied together and even certificate is 2 in 1.

Apostile in India as its issued by Indian embassy not UK authority.

Photocopy is okay yes but ofcourse you have to carry it in Morocco. - Just be aware if your brp is expiring soon, you might not be allowed entry. Marriage in Morocco takes 15-20 days minimum excluding Saturday and Sunday, so whenever you enter Morocco count 30 days extra on top for marriage to finish completely with Certificate in your hand. I entered on 6th August, got married on 23rd and got certificate on 25th which is almost a full month.

Apply it 1 week before going, its usually ready in few days. Yes you can apply online on their website. Just ask for stamp when you collect it from Ministry of Justice.

Also whats your visa status in UK? Which visa are you on? This can affect your partners entry in UK.

@Benson Harrison

Apologies for delayed response brother as I was travelling and I could not login in to expat.com. BRP is not an issue at all. Could you please share your whatsapp or email

@Aslamuk message me here if you have any doubts

    -@Aslamuk I need your WhatsApp number for more information please

@Benson Harrison.hi brother about capacity of marriage certificate i download this from your link now if I send it to my brother by WhatsApp will it work or not and which documents I have need to attech on this certificate

@Benson Harrison how my family submit to Delhi out source agency through post office or WhatsApp or is it compulsory to go Delhi to submit in office of agency out source

@nisar98922 how much time takes to complete this document  and is this document expiry date or not

@Benson Harrison after getting capacity of marriage certificate is this document expiry date or not

@nisar98922 You have to fill the form with signature and send it to your brother via post office from Saudi to Delhi. Whatsapp will not work because this document will be apostilled in the back by MEA.

You have to go to out source agency to submit this, they will not accept by post. I think they will ask for your adhar card and passport copy.

There is no whatsapp procedure. These are legal documents, you have to go or send your family.

There is no expiry date but all documents must be dated within 3 months from date of submission in Morocco, else Morrocan court will reject it.

So if you submit documents to moroccan court in August, all documents must be dated June, July, August. If its from May, morrocan courts will reject them.

You also need to apostille criminal records from India. Check procedure above.

It takes 2-3 days for document to be apostilled. Its a quick process.

@Benson Harrison thanks brother for replying... I have plan to marry in August so I start process in May or June for apostille

@Benson Harrison they ask me adhar card and passport orginal or Xerox or photostat copy because I am in saudi arabia my brother will do all process in India

@nisar98922 Yeah get your documents in June/july. I did my apostile in July and marriage in August.

They only need photocopy but call them and confirm with them. Try to bargain for price. 2000rs is not fixed price.

@Benson Harrison ,,,, how much time takes from India to Saudi Arabia via post office to get documents in saudi arabia, before i never try this

@nisar98922 depends on which courier you choose. I used DHL from UK to India, and same from India to UK. They do 2 day delivery for 5000rs 1 side, but cost will  be different for Saudi.

@Benson Harrison thanks brother now i understand, Money is not a problem

@Benson Harrison hi brother in capacity of marriage certificate there is mentioned in 2nd paragraph as on date ................ Which date i mentioned in this blank i think the date of filling form and submission.

And tell about two witnesses mentioned in below

I think in my family and person who is more than 18 years whose name and signature

@nisar98922 yes witness anyone 18+ that knows you personally like neighbours, family and date you will put on the day you submit the form for apostile.

@Benson Harrison thanks

@Benson Harrison hi bro regarding about conversation of islam or proof I am Muslim....I am born in Muslim family I am not converted but I don't have proof or certificate to show that I am Muslim , you have mentioned that contact with adoul is this same process for me or else how I solve this problem

@nisar98922 Contact adoul. Everyone needs certificate regardless if they were born muslim or not.

@Benson Harrison Hi, can you tell me why you obtained your criminal record check from India and not the UK where you are resident? kind regards

I got this response from Rabat Embessy of India:

Please refer trailing mail. A Certificate of Bachelorhood/ Single-Status/ Capacity of Marriage needs to be obtained from the Office of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or District Magistrate (DM)

or Court authorities, under whose jurisdiction lies the Indian address mentioned in the applicant’s passport. This certificate is further required to be counter-attested by the Home Department of

the State concerned. Thereafter, it needs to be attested/apostilled by the Attestation Section of the CPV Division of the Ministry of External Affairs , New Delhi. (Please note that issuance of

this kind of certificate falls within the jurisdiction of of the authorities of the concerned State Government/Union Territory of India). Only counter-attestation of the certificate is done by

the Ministry of External Affairs.  This certificate is not issued by the Embassy. 

Regards,

Consular Section,

Embassy of India,

Rabat.

Do i need to visit to India for Capacity of Marriage Certificate or is there a way i can get it done from London.

@fbjcksn Because I have spent 24 years in India since birth and I am still a citizen of India but resident of UK. In this scenario you should get certificate from both Citizenship and residence country.

@asifbhatti110896 You have to visit if there is no family member of yours in India otherwise they can submit on your behalf. Read point 1) in my post for the process of getting this certificate.

@Benson Harrison

Aslam waalaikum.... please can I have ur WhatsApp  my fiance want to talk with you please

https://nriway.com/nri-service/nri-Bach … icateFound a website who does Single Status Certificate from India.They said they get it apostilled as well.Their format is like:Affidavit of BachelorhoodI, (full name) (Aadhar card no….) S/O (Father Full Name) (Aadhar card no….) and (Mother name) (Aadhar card no….) R/O resident Address ……………………………………………, do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as follow:That, I am a citizen of india by birth and a resident of the aforesaid locality.That, I was born on ……………at my permanent residence, i.e.,………………………………………………………………………………………That, I have a valid Indian passport bearing passport No…………………. Issued from ……………….and valid from …………...to ……………………………………………….That, I am still unmarried/single and have no living spouse at present either in India and abroad.That, I am eligible to marry an Indian or person of any other nationality according to the law.That, I myself voluntarily and according to my own sweet will can take any decision of my own in case of my marriage being adult as per law of the land.That, this affidavit shall be used as a piece of documentary evidence to prove the aforesaid facts and the same shall be produced before the concerned authority.That, all the statements made in this affidavit are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.                                    Deponent(Name)What is your view? Will that document work if it is on stamp paper and appostiled.

@asifbhatti110896

I cant comment on this format.

The format I used, I have posted it in point number 1, you can use it and it will work. It should be apostilled+sdm stamp which the MEA agency will do.

@Benson Harrison Thank You for you quick response.

I applied for PCC at VFS but they did not ask for PPF – Personal Particulars Form with the application.

Capacity of marriage certificate will be delivered by the agency soon.

Do i need to apply for my criminal check certificate from UK (DBS) or Morocco,  for Morocco as from the link you provided it asks for CINE number.

I got my BIRTH certificate in English, it it okay if i get it translated to Arabic. or i need to get something done like apostille or anything on it.

@asifbhatti110896

criminal record/pcc is done by consulate of India through the link not VFS, I am not sure how you applied through vfs. I have mentioned this in point 5.

You need ACRO not DBS. Some say DBS is accepted and in some cases ACRO was needed because authority refused to accept DBS. Its better to get ACRO as its a more comprehensive check.

It should not ask for CINE number as you are not Moroccan. If you select abroad resident, the link will not ask you all these details and only normal details.

Your birth certificate will not be accepted in Moroco. Read point 3 on how to get french birth certificate from Indian embassy in Morocco.

The only apostile needed is for capacity of marriage.

@Benson Harrison

Thank you for your reply.

@asifbhatti110896 ok brother. I think they have outsourced this to vfs now. Good luck in getting your documents, let me know if you need any suggestions; but I have documented most stuff in the post

@Benson Harrison

Thank you so much!!

@Benson Harrison

Hi, anyone know if i can use my settle  status as a certificate of residence here in uk?

@Sandelcubas I think anything that shows you are settled should be good. Is this EUSS certificate?
