I got married two weeks ago here in maroc which took from October to November 12th to finally be married to my maroc lady

In reality if you want to complete I can share my challenges getting hitched during emergency state here
It took almost 5 weeks and that was with all the problems I encountered

Feel free to ask questions as trying to get up to date information impossible
And Noone really knows unless you are face to face

Feel free to ask me as I had to discover the hard way once I arrived as all information contradictory and frustrating and time consuming and inefficient

Regarding the translated letters, they do not need stamping by local authorities. If you use certified translators in the city you are planning to get married from, they would stamp the translated documents to make it official. I hope this helps.

Congratulations from Los Angeles! I am sending you well wishes for a happy, long and successful marriage.Β  Many blessings πŸ™πŸŒ·

Hi, I went through the process before the pandemic in Jan 2020 and I am not sure if the process has changed since then.

CabMax

The steps I took consisted of three phases. One was collecting documents from my home country and translating them to Arabic and second, visiting my consulate/embassy in Morocco along with a visit to the ministries of justice and foreign affairs of Morocco to collect further documents. The final phase was submitting all these documents to the court.

Agadir has extended restrictions ensure your appointment for Rabat or agadir consulate is booked online for the dates you are here as without that step all cannot happen to get Married

I'm in the process of getting all my documents ready. The new lockdown thing is going to be a bummer because the documents have to be dated within 3 months...

Mzhansror91

I asked one of the adools when I was in Agadir. He told me that the documents we require are dated within last 3 months. Like banks statements, employment letter, payslips, certificate of no impediment etc... Just check with them

Best thing to do is speak to an ΨΉΨ―ΩˆΩ„ adool what they require to marry you and your fiance. They sometimes ask for different things. In my case I'm a British male marrying a Moroccan female.
There is a list online but better to ask the adool where you you intend to get married.

Mzhansror91

Yeah πŸ˜‚ pretty much.

May I suggest you take a look at Visa Journey.Β  It’s a Forum that can answer all your questions regarding Marriage and going through the process per your country.Β  There you should find people alike in your situation from the UK and such.

Good luck!
