Hi all!

My partner and I are hoping to get married here in Addis Ababa. We are both here long term for work. We’d appreciate any info on the procedure.

Many thanks!

As a start perhaps contact your respective Embassies to find out what paperwork is required.

Registering marriages for foreigners was pending a new directive which is already in effect now. Depending on where you are living, each sub-city has allocated 1 Woreda to register foreigner marriages. So in the case of Kirkos Sub-city, they have allocated Woreda 08. It is located right in front of the Inter Continental hotel.

They usually request a proof from your embassy that you are currently not married. Once you have that, they will depending on their waiting list give you an appointment. They request 4 witnesses, 2 from each side to be present and of course all of your passports, IDs (Visa).

Good Luck & don't forget to invite me to the wedding.
