If  you are also  british  you need to  book  with the  british embassy in  morroco  to get  proof of  nationality and  your   affidavit however  the   appointments are hard to come by  so  possibly you can  try with italian  embassy 

You  need to  use an   approved translator  to  translate your  documents  to  arabic  this would be like your  UK  criminal check 

Once  you  obtain your   affidavit and  proof of nationality  which i  believe is a  true copy of  passport it has  to be taken  to Ministry  of   Foreign affairs to be legalised 

Hello @mishiii,

Thank you for your comment

Do you know if when I get those documents in Morocco they are going to be legalised already? Or is that an extra step?

@AntonioCap

noo you have to get them legalised from the ministry theres one in agadir rabat and beni melal

    Hello @mishiii,
Thank you for your comment

    -@AntonioCap

The signature on all of the documents issued by British Consular Staff will need to be legalised at the nearest Ministry of Foreign Affairs Legalisation Office.

Addresses for Legalisation Offices in Morocco are:

* Rabat :Rue Tamasloht, Rabat-Hassan (pour Arabie Saoudite, Emirats Arabes

* Unies et Espagne) 8, Rue de Tétouan, Rabat-Hassan (pour autres pays).

* Agadir: Avenue Hassan II, Imm. Wafabank ,Hay Al inbiaat 1er Etage.

* Tanger: 44, Avenue Tarik Ibn Ziad, Imm. Wafabank, Drissia ler Etage.

* Nador : Immeuble Derdiz, Avenue Hassan II, 1er Etage.

* Beni-Mellal : 33, Avenue Mohamed V ler Étage.
The legalised documents may then need to be translated into Arabic.

You are advised to check with the Family Court Judge, in the district where you plan to be married, whether you need to get them translated into Arabic or not.

(A updated list will be given by the Embassy at the time of your appointment)

Hope this helps

@mishiii

Thank you for this, much appreciated

@Vakil

Hello Arif, thank you for the info

Do you know if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Legalisation Office requires appointment or is on a walk in basis?

@AntonioCap - its a walk-in service. depending on how busy they are, you could be in and out in 5 mins, or may have to wait in a long queue. i was in and out in 5 mins. good luck

@AntonioCap

Luckily you can walk in same day during office hours. its advisable to get there as early as possible and they tend to open from 9am until 5pm but timing may very. also note ramadan hours from march will differ. Its first come first served bases and can get quite busy hence try to get there early as possible. it takes 5 mins to complete the process once its your turn.

@MrT786

thank you very much for this

@Vakil thank you very much for this. does ramadan entails that they will be closed or just perhaps shorter hours ? thank you for that, I actually wasn’t thinking of that

@AntonioCap

will be shorter hours.

Hello all

I'd just like to establish what documents I need to have apostilled and legalised to marry my moroccan fiance.

Documents I'll be submitting as far as I'm aware:

Please let me know if I need more...

Birth certificate

Divorce absolute

Payslips

Acro and DBS

Salary information from Employer...

Do all of these need to be apostilled and/or legalised?

@Yasmin21

Any documents you are submitting in English and any document from the UK in general needs to be legalised in Morocco and then translated to Arabic by a court certified translator.

I don't think payslips need to be submitted, you just need a letter signed from your employer confirming your employment and salary details. There was no mention of needing payslips on the checklist I was given by a court in Tangier.

@Hairy_Beardo I read somewhere else it should be the birth certificate and the acro that needs to be apostilled in the UK. Is this the same as legalised and that all documents need to also be legalised Morocco?
