Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone can help me? Im an english lady and I married the love of my life, a moroccan man in Morocco a few ago. We have been living in morocco and would like to try and apply for the UK spouse visa, we are aware on the success rate of this and how hard they are to attain now but we still want to give it a go.

Could anyone please tell me if our marriage is recognised under UK law if we were married in morocco? Also if its not recognised and we need to get it apostle stamped, how long we have to do this? we have been married a few months and it was such hard process so we are hoping there is no time frame to get the marriage certificate legalised

Thankyou Effie and Amine x

Hi,
Your marriage is recognised in the UK as long as the requirements in the country that you got married in were followed and it is not a polygamous or bigamous marriage.
You therefore don't need to register it in the U.k.
Apparently there is no longer any service available to do this.
I guess if it means a lot you could get a solicitor at great expense.
That's my understanding
Good luck
