I'm a divorced Moroccan guy and I plan to marry a Moroccan lady in Morocco. My fiancee has been asking around about the paperwork needed to get married there and she's getting conflicting reports! Some say that all I need is to translate my divorce decree and submit it along with my "carte nationale" and a clean bill of health for a physician in Morocco, and that it would take about 3-4 days for L'Adoul/Court to process the paperwork and issue some sort of authorization or approval to get married. Others, are saying that since I'm divorced in the US, my paperwork would have to be somehow certified (mowatha9) by the "Mahkamat al Oussra" = family court, which could take up to 15+ days! The problem is I only have 2 weeks (minus 2 travel days) to get married and head back to the States, where I would file a petition I-130 + I-130a for my fiancee. Can someone (preferably in a similar situation) please advise? -TIA

 

P.S. I've already confirmed with the US consulate that since I'm getting married as a Moroccan national (and to a Moroccan national), I do not need to go through the process of making an appointment with the consulate, writing an intent to marry, getting a paper from them and take it to the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, etc... So that's not the route we're taking.

Salaam alaikum Karim,

 

The answer is your fiance should be able to get a list from the local court.  It will list everything needed to get married.

Honestly, it shouldn't take to long.  What the court may want is your divorce paperwork translated into Arabic and then legalized in Morocco.  I have found from talking to different expats and Moroccan's that each court has their own take on what they want to make a marriage happen. 

 

InshaAllah things go quickly and smoothly.
