Register an existing Commonwealth Marriage in Mauritius

Post new topic

DSafa

We have an existing marriage certificate between citizen and non-citizen, married for just short of three years now and there is no information on how to register an EXISTING marriage in Mauritius.

We are wanting to apply for residency for the non-citizen spouse as we're trying to repatriate to Mauritius.

All the information on the Civil status division website is for marriages that are yet to be celebrated. How do we go about registering a Commonwealth Marriage that has already been celebrated almost three years ago?

We registered in person after moving to Mauritius. It took about a week or two, then we submitted all our paperwork to the visa office in person.
