I am British female wanting to marry a Moroccan national this summer. I am gathering all my documents in UK before I go there, not in Morocco.

I have applied for the ACRO police check
I have applied for my full birth certificate

Do I now need to write an Affidavit of my martial status > have the document certified > sent for Apostille > translated? ( or is it in a different order?)

Do I need my passport certified and apostilled also?


Which documents are to be translated?

Could anyone advise on a time frame for all of this and write to me EXACTLY what they applied for, when, where to and how they eventually married - if you did all your documents in the UK... Or if I must do any documentation work in Morocco.

Thank you so much

Affadatuve and passport verification documents can only be issued and only recognised by morocco if done at the British embassy usually in Morocco.

It’s takes less than a hour however the appointment with the embassy can sometimes takes months. So you need to book this on the embassy website in advance.

It’s better to do it in rabat as the two documents they give must also be legalised with the Minstry in Rabat. Try to book an early appointment so that you can get everything done in one day.

The document given by the embassy is in French and the Minstry in rabat wil legalise it. However all other documents you have needs to be in Arabic.

Medical report in morocco can be done very simply with any doctor.

Police record in Morocco can either be applied for in rabat or online and it’s usually ready within a few days for collection.

Letter from employment also required

Copies of the passport entry page when you entered morocco also needed

birth certificate

More info can be shown in the British embassy website.
You will also require police interview around 3 if I recall correctly. Once in morocco once submitted all documents. Each one will give you a letter that you can’t open and tell you the next steps once that’s all done the final letter is issued by the courts and judges with acceptance or rejection. As long as you don’t have any criminal records then it’s usually granted within a few days after which you can then officially get married.

Hi there, I’m a British Citizen looking to marry my fiancé in August... Just sorting out the paperwork and this is puzzling me a bit... I understand all the paperwork required for marriage etc however, along with our official documents and copy which is apostled, do we need 5 other official copies or we can use photocopies of the apostled copy to give to the other offices and this will be sufficient? Obviously we will take the original too.
I’m seeing in other forums it’s best to make up 5 sets of paperwork to give to different offices etc... do all these need to be the official copy or can it be photocopies of the apostled documents? Will be taking originals too!

If anyone could kindly advise, this would be very much appreciated!!!

Look forward to hearing from someone (hopefully) soon!

Hi firstly congratulations,

Thankfully you can make photo copies and then get them legalised in Morocco your fiancé will now where to do this. Same as legalising a copy of his National ID the same place will also
Legalise you’re documents. Please remember everything should also be in Arabic. But legalise English and Arabic copies.

However if your translating documents in Morocco ask the translator to
Provide more than one copy as they do not need to be legalised as they would be deemed as original.

Hope this helps.
