appointment for british embassy in Rabat or what? As I could suggest one thing in case if you are dual national to use other embassy of the country if you are citizen of as my brother flew in and walk in to Pakistani embassy and got his documents in less than 20mins. On the side note he’s born and bred in UK but due to us being Pakistani ethnically it saved him from a lot of stress.

Salam Guys,

I applied for “affirmation of marital status” and I received an email with a link to book an appointment. But no appointments are available to book, I tried at 6 am, 8 am, and 12 pm, several times during the day. But nothing worked, my fiancée called them many times no response, she even went to the embassy but they refused to talk to her without an appointment. I’m feeling hopeless, anyone got any advice for me?

Tik85

hi,


someone can help me to book appointment in british embassy rabat?

i really need urgently

SavannahRE

Hi All, does anyone know if both the British citizen and the Fiance need to attend the appointment for the affidavit and passport verification?

or is it okay to go on my own, thank you 

AdamSu

Hi all


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.


Does anyone have any further information on this?


I received this news from a family member in Morocco who is related to a judge!

@AdamSu

Hi is this true because I have already got the CONI?

bobmattingly06

@Tik85

It seems impossible   everything is eiher unavailable ir not yet issued.    Any advice from anyone on how to get these appointments please

Bill Shepherd

@AdamSu

How does someone show/prove where they 'live'......? Is it not possible to 'live' in different countries?


More nonsense from the Ununited Kingdom.

Yusuf Sheikh

@itsmultiform1 I’m in the same boat now did you manage to get an appointment booked?

Umarulhasan

@bobmattingly06

I’ve been trying but not had any luck either.

did you manage to find an appointment?

Umarulhasan

For the 6th of December onwards It says ‘Not released yet’.

😏

does anyone have an appointment for November or December that I can buy from them (ideally for Rabat) ??

Yusuf Sheikh

@Umarulhasan

Seems like the 5th of dec appointments were booked yesterday last night it seems

Umarulhasan

If one asks the Adoul courts is there a way we can avoid the consulate as they don’t have any appointments?

I’m sure they can suggest an alternative way for example obtaining the same document from the UK.

The British consulate in morocco issue you 2 documents,

1) affirmation of marriage status (which you can get from your local council in the UK called Certificate of No Impediment (CNI).

2) citizenship status (you can ask a solicitor what’s the alternative you can get from the UK)


if the adoul accepts the above bypassing method then it should be all good. Not sure though unless I’m missing something?!

Umarulhasan

Hi all,

Get the CNI done at your local council. It’ll be ready to pick up in 29 days.

Send this by recorded delivery to get apostile done (legalisation) to https://www.hagueapostille.co.uk/

they will Apostille it and return within 3 days.

Take this to the Moroccan courts and no need to go to embassy.

muzaffar1972

How should I book an appointment to get married. We have paid to book an appointment yet no luck with bookings.

Umarulhasan

@muzaffar1972

You have to keep checking every night nd early morning to re if there are at cancellations.

which website is u make payment?

Yusuf Sheikh

@Umarulhasan

I made it on the gov uk website paid £75, feel like asking for a refund back because I’m unable to book an appointment

Umarulhasan

I’ve paid too. Same boat. Just email Rabat consulate. They may or may not reply. Useless.

get a CNI from your local council, it takes 29 days until u can collect it. Then send it for legalisation.

and also get a passport copy notarized by solicitor then send the copy of that to get legalised.

maybe the above will enable you to bypass embassy appointment.

Bill Shepherd

Since you can see the British 'embassy' (read, outpost) staff out on the town in Rabat getting drunk as skunks every single night I find it believe they ever get any work done during the day. They are very unprofessional and they should all be dismissed. 

bobmattingly06

@Umarulhasan

If the CNI and passport certified in the uk do you bypass the consulate?   Does your moroccan partner need to attend consulate rabat?

Umarulhasan

I am going through the process. I’ll have my CNI in December, I’ll get an apostille for it from FCDO, through a law firm called The Hague, their turn around time is 3 days. Passport copy certified by solicitors t be sent also for apostille through same law firm.


these two documents should’ suffice as an alternative to embassy issued docs. The embassies are  under FCDO, so getting it issued from London or an embassy abroad ‘should’ not make a difference.

it’s all upto the judge in mrc to decide.

if it works then I’ll let you know before Christmas.

in meantime keep looking for a cancellation. Embassy in Rabat told us today that it’s choca blocks for next four months (unless there’s a cancellation which I’ve not found for weeks).

Hope that helps.

@Umarulhasan

If it is so far ahead with appointments why are they not tey released.     Something not right!

Yusuf Sheikh

@Umarulhasan

Thanks for the detail. Yeah these lack of appointments are super annoying. Although I heard the court in Rabat won’t accept documents outside of the embassy (according to what they told my fiance), the adoul might otherwise accept documents from the uk. However the court at the end are the ones that decide 

Umarulhasan

@Yusuf Sheikh

I heard the same. Everyone is making money out of this loophole. 🤷‍♂️ if the courts want they can accept it. All they need to be satisfied about is that the person is not married. For this the CNI is enough. But unfortunately either they are waiting for someone to grease their palm, or they just unaware of their own law.
