Uk criminal record and marriage in Marrakesh

Zohaib191

Hi everyone, I have a drug importantion charge from 2017 in the UK. I was not aware that Morroco wants me to bring my criminal record check from the UK in order to marry my partner in Marrakesh, or Agadir as its where she is from. now I am a bit concerned that they may be fussy due to me having a convivtion. Can anybody advise me that has had any experience in marrying in Morroco with a UK conviction.

@Zohaib191 Don't worry too much about it. It will be a basic DBS check, so it shouldn't show up on your certificate.

@zahidiqbal81 i  served prison time for it to   so it will show up on  everything i guess

@Zohaib191 how long was the sentence? I had one from 2010 and other convictions, nothing showed up on the basic dbs.  Enhanced understandably everything will show up.

It was a 6year sentence, 3 years in custody. i will apply for a basic dbs to see if it shows up but i am pretty sure it will. If it shows I don't mind but i hope that they will not let that hinder my marriage, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with a recent crime showing up on record  of course it was a mistake and i work hard legitimately

Hi guys I just like some information about marriage in Morocco. me and my wife just been blessed with a beautiful baby boy!


We had our islamic nikah but we didn't do our marriage paper! Due to me being afraid that the vakil might be skeptical and refuse our marriage.

I have few things on my police record check the last one was a sentence for 2 months in prison for dangerous driving that was about 3 years ago 2022.

since then I've been out of trouble and well behaved and just trying to live my life and settle down and be happy with my child and my wife I just want to know we'll they stop us from acquiring a marriage certificate or is it just standard procedure...


Also another thing I would like to know my child was born in Morocco, I'm from the UK. I'm British citizen, mother is Morrocan does my baby automatically get British citizenship through me or would I have to apply for one.


I've registered his birth in Morocco and got his birth certificate and translated to English for the UK authority and sent it off to register him in the UK too.

what is the next step or procedure I have to do to bring him in the UK.

Hi did you get married? Did you have any issues? I’m wanting to marry my finance in Morocco but I have a suspended sentence from 2017 for theft. Were you able to provide them with a basic dbs check?

@mdilras

Firstly congratulations on the birth of your baby boy!


I was wondering if you had received anymore information regarding whether you would be granted a marriage licence?


I want to get married to my finance in Agadir but I have a suspended sentence from 2017 that I’m concerned about


do they accept basic dbs checks do you know? Rather than acro which shows everything up

@Sarah Miracles

I only had a normal islamic nikah, usually them kind of marriages unfortunately it's not recognised in Morocco you have to do the marriage registration... I'm just on the process of doing mine but I just have few things going on in UK........ As for the police record if your getting married in Agadir then a basic DBS should be fine from what I've been told by the Adoul, your conviction is minor and it's long time ago I doubt that should come up on your DBS even if it does you'll be fine.

Sarah Miracles

Ah ok great yes it would be agadir that we get married. Yeah I’m pretty sure it will just show as no live trace on basic dbs now as it’s been longer than 5 years so fingers crossed all will be ok.


good luck with everything.. thanks for your reply.
