MARRIAGE IN MOROCCO

The Moroccan authorities will require a lot of documents from British Nationals and their Moroccan fiancés planning to marry in Morocco including two which can be obtained from the British Consulate. (See appendix A). If you are a British National planning to marry a Moroccan National under Moroccan law you will need to make a declaration of honour that you are free to marry, and obtain a certificate of no-objection from the British Consulate in Tangier to present to the Moroccan authorities. You will also need a Certificate of Nationality issued by the British Consulate which includes the statement that the United Kingdom does not issue identity cards.

In order to apply for a Certificate of No Objection, please present the following original documents at the Consulate:
·Your passport
·If you have been married before, your divorce decree absolute, or, if widowed, your late spouse’s death certificate
·Your Moroccan fiancé(e)’s passport (or if he/she does not have a passport, his/her Moroccan identity card and birth certificate in French (if in Arabic with a translation into English).
