Questions about Marriage in Ankara, Turkey (she is Iranian citizen)

[bookmonger 0]

Hi, I'm new here and unmarried so far .

So, this applies to the actual wedding process in Ankara, Turkey.

Are 2 weeks enough to do paper work, medical exams, and marry in Ankara, Turkey? I am male U.S. citizen. She is female Iranian citizen.

I read somewhere that I should expect it to take 10 days alone for some paperwork to be processed by the Iranian government.

So, my main question is: Is there anyone here who has gotten married to an Iranian woman in Ankara, and how long was the whole process of paperwork, medical exams, and wedding?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

George

sorry iwas asleep when i gave you the above information the above is only if you are getting married in Iran the only information I know is

An American and an Iranian planning to marry should allow several days to obtain a "Certificate of Eligibility to Marry" from the Iranian Consulate, which will request extensive documentation about the American fiancé(e).

sorry that is not much help

but at least they have civil ceromines and not religious so you shouldnt have a problem there
