Police Record from U.S. to get married in Morocco

[Golden Gate 530]

FBI says it takes 14 weeks to process an identification record. Is it possible to get just a local police record from my hometown quicker? Would that be enough to satisfy the Moroccan government, in order to get married there?

I just got married there in march. I only got a police record from my state police file. It took 15 min. That was all I needed to get married. Good luck!

Ahhhh! Thank you very much!!

Not a problem! It is so nerve wracking trying to get everything right, because once you are there, the clock is ticking, and it could suck big time if you forgot something in the US. Good luck to you!

Hi. Congratulations on getting married. Do you mind me asking, how long did it take and which city? Thanks

Thanks, that gives me some hope. I have heard it can take a month.

I married in Morocco and I had my local police record and it took a couple of days.........make sure you take a babtism record or something to show your religion and to prove you are of the book. We had to have this document before he could marry someone other than a Muslim. Also you will go to the Embassy in casablanca and you will need to pay for an Affidavit of nationality (them showing you are American) and also an affidavit to marry (showing you are able to marry and show prove of any divorces).........take divorce certificate with you.birth certificate.....you will need passport.....and I think employment records or paystubs is a MUST!! They will also ask for your primary, second and high school educataion and parents info......also you must have been divorced by 90 days!!...I waited 4 years to get my divorce in writing from my estranged (American) ex- husband and it was 60 days by time my first visit so we had to wait and finish marriage on our second trip. Im putting this here incase someone reads it and may be in similar situation so they will have the knowledge.

I agree with all the advice, although I had nothing to prove my religion, and it wasn't a problem?? I was certainly asked about my religion, and if I would convert to Muslim in the future, but had no baptismal evidence. I guess it all depends on the local judge?? Who knows in Morocco!!

Ok. Is it possible for me to get these affadavits in the U.S. before I go? Could they be notarized letters or something? I ask, because I will be on the other side of Morocco, a whole day away from Casablanca driving. Also, I was never married, although I have two children, so how do I prove this? My childrens' father isn't even on the birth certificate. Do I need proof about education , or just I need to provide that information on a form? Another question - does the judge ever require the fiance to pay you a dowry? My fiance mentioned this, that is why I am asking. Sorry for all the questions, but my fiance is living far from the town where we are marrying, so it is hard for him to get the information I need. Thanks for your replies. Very helpful!!

Lisa
