Hi All, after reading so many posts I am hoping to get clarity and serve a dual purpose to help other UK citizens marrying a Moroccan lady or vice Versa. I have read many posts but it鈥檚 still confusing ..

I am due to go to Morocco in less than 8 weeks and have an embassy meeting booked at the same time. ( first time getting married )

My understanding of what鈥檚 required is as below:

1) UK birth certificate - if you have the two part original does an ORIGINAL Birth Certificate need to be legalised from the .GOV website ? Or does that apply to copies only if you don鈥檛 have the original聽 ?
2) proof of employment - letter stating start date, and salary only and signed by a director ?
3) ACRO police record only - I understand this must be legalised in the UK. Takes 10 working days . Cannot be a DBS Check.
4) up to date payslips for last 3 months

Which of the above must be legalised in the UK from the UK website

Do any need to be taken as certified copies ?

Do all the above need translating in Morocco ?

Documents TO take to Morocco alongside ?

Passport - are certified copies needed to be taken ?
UK Card Driving Licence for uk Address proof - are certified copies needed to be taken ?

DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO OBTAINED WHILE THERE:

1 )Capacity of marriage from consulate in Rabat as that鈥檚 closest ). They will give a certificate of identity which you will then take to the Morrocan authorities to have it apostilled at the ministry of foreign affairs ? Does the ministry of affairs require a pre booked appointment?

2) Moroccan criminal record - how do you get this ?
4)police report from Morocco
5)Medical certificate
6) police interview

Visit the mahkama(Court) for confirmation

Have I missed anything to take with me ?

You need to have a document from your local registry office proving your free to marry. All documents need to be translated to Arabic but it's best to do this in Morocco and get them stamped by a notaire or avicat
You may not be able to get married straight away. Often they send you away a couple of times for various reasons
The paperwork you get from the register office here in UK is valid for three months then you'll have to pay again to update
All the best..

Yes I do know but it's up to my friend to name the city I leave that to her聽 all I can say to this is when ask for a medical from doctors in Morocco聽 check your partner out as well they I mean there government are so out there to check your medical if marrying a Moroccan but failed to check out there own first
My friend was lucky enough to have this checked out聽 before she committed to this marriage and call it off
