I was married in Morocco June 2006. I had to get an eligibility to marry paper from the consulate in Casa. I brought with me my birth cert, id, passport, police record (mine was from the state police and was accepted). I also brought my divorce decree and had my blood work done in the states (HIV and Hep C). I brought check stubs and a letter from my employer but I don't think they were required. You will also need a letter stating your religion. Mine was written by my husband in Arabic and I just had to sign it. Saved us on having it translated. I think thats all I had to take. Good luck! If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

I did not do blood work at all. It took us 2 and a half weeks to have everything done there. I had the other papers that aminah had. we had to go to casa and to rabat to do paperwork also in his hometown. alot of running around. 2 trips to rabat.

Wow - does each consulate determine what is required? In Kathmandu all I needed to show was my passport. No blood test was required.

No. Each country determines its marriage laws and requirements. Somes consulates post this information to assist U.S. citizens who are planning to marry in that country.

I needed my passport, birth certificate, affidavit of eligibility to marry, and a blood test (with certified Arabic translations, along with about a zillion stamps from various ministries.)

My habibi and I investigated getting married in Morocco, but realized we would not be able to complete all the paperwork while I was there. I thought of returning several months later for the marriage, but also investigated the fiance visa. We decided to go for the fiance visa because there was a significantly shorter wait for him to be able to come here.

We still talk about having a Berber wedding in the village where he was born...

We married in Morocco in June 2004. It took two weeks to get all of the paperwork processed. If I could do it all over again, I would go for the fiance visa.

hi every one

we get married my wife and i in morocco and it was not hard as it seems, you need just to know and to have a good advices about it.

all what you have to bring with you is :

_ birth certificat

_id photocopy

_passort photocopy

_police record

_work certificat

and in the consulat you will get an elegibility to marry

by the time you stamp your elegibility in the foreign affairs ministry annex in rabat you can make a public writer prepare an religion certificat that you will need to sign in the comune (hotel de ville)

bring more than 8 pictures with you, you wont know when they will ask for more.

-translat all the documents to arabic language!!!!!!!!!

and make 3 photocopies of each document

make your partner prepare his/her own documents + 3 photocopies.

go to the court of first instance where you partner lives

look for mixt marriage office in the court it's where you have to present your documents + demande de marriage that your partner has to write (public writer)

they will give you two2 enveloppe to bring : one to the province ou la wilaya and the other to the police office where you will have an investigation just to know how you meet. make sure about a big question that both of you have to answear ( did you have a sexual relation ship before) you have to answear that NO NO NO.( islamique rules doesnt allows this)

the police inspector will give you back another enveloppe that you have to bring back to the court

and then they will give yoou again another enveloppe to bring to the familly court near your partner house.

by that time both of you have to visit a doctor for a visit usually it's a blood tests and talking for a few minutes .

go and look for a public nottary he might helps with activing the processus in a familly court, and then the familly judge gives the accord to marry and then the public nottary will wright your marriage contract.........

for us it tooks 7 working days from the begining untill we get married the 8 th day we had our marriage contract

i took it back to the first instance court the judge stamped it

and then back to the foreign affairs minstry annex stamp it again

and then it's over

my english is not perfect sorry and if you need more explaination, will be happy to help
