Mixed Marriage in Morocco - A Help Guide

13 years ago
Hi everyone.

Ive noticed that alot of people ask for help re mixed marriage in Morocco. Here is my own personal experience that i want to share.

Some information you might want to know is that im from New Zealand and my partner is Moroccan and we completed this whole process is Agadir, Morocco.

Step One: Before leaving your home country you should sort these papers

1. No Impediment to Marriage certificate
2. Updated Birth Certificate
3. Criminal records from Home country
4. Certificate of Previous employment stating dates worked and annual salary
5. Certificate of Nationality (If your country does not have this then your birth certificate and passport will be fine)
6. Certificate of Religion

After you have all these papers you should take them to a notary public or a government official to state that the documents are true and accurate.
They need to put there signature and stamp on your papers.
After this you then need them to be translated to ARABIC. DO NOT TRANSLATE TO FRENCH IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

After the translation you then need to send all the papers to the moroccoan embassy designated for your country. For New Zealand it was the Moroccan embassy in Australia. You need to include in the package a cash cheque for them to put the special stamps on the papers and a prepaid courier bag to send the papers back to you.
(For information on how much you need to send for the cash cheque you should contact the moroccan embassy for your country)

Once all of this is done you are good to go to Morocco.
Once you are in Morocco you need to go to the MINISTRY DE LA JUSTICE , RABAT. Its a day trip and you need to get your criminal records from there. Get them done up in arabic. Cost is 30dh.

Once you have this paper you and your partner need to go see a doctor in Morocco and get a general test done on both of you. This includes general check up, xray and blood tests. cost is 200dh each.

After this your partner needs his or her moroccan national identidy card (THE NEW ONE), crimianl records from his or her city of residence, no impediment to marriage certificate and an updated birth certificate.

Once he has these you can both take all your papers to an adoul. He is the one that will help you to marry in court. Depeding on your country it will range between 2000 to 3000 dh.

Then your done...fianlly!!!!

Its the most time gruely process and expensive i migth add but worth it in the end.

Give your self plenty of time. Theres always something or someone to sting you money wise around each corner so be prepared for a few shocks.

Please responde if this has helped some of you to get a better understanding.

Cheers
