Firstly this is for anyone from United Kingdom trying to do NIKAH (Islamic marriage ) in Morocco,
The steps may seem complicated but when done it looks easy
Firstly be ready for few days of waiting and patient is very important
I married my wife from Marrkakech and this is my journey
Documents needed :
Passport - copy of passport and the copy of arrival stamp
U.K. criminal Record certificate:
ACRO police check apply online
Divorce or widow : Divorce or death certificate of your partner
Birth certificate : Original (if you have a birth certificate from another country you don't need a new one.
Employement: I am self employed so got a letter from the company I work as self employed and 3 months of earning
They didn't need the earning payslip but only taken employment letter
Act of conversion to Islam : Needed you can get it done there ask your partner to find someone before going there
U.K. embassy : make a appointment in Rabat or Marrakech and get you 2 certificate of residence and right to marry cost £75
Passport photo: they say 4 photo but make sure you make 10 because you will need it for morocco police check and when you need to do legalise your British embassy certificate
Make sure you find a good translator and before going send your copies to your partner so that she/her can go to translater and show the documents and if he says it's ok than get in your flight and go but please make sure you make 10 copies of each documents saves your time to look for a photocopy shop.
You can do moroccan police check online on the Moroccan justice website and order the copy to your local police or court
It takes 1-2 days so you do not have to go Rabat.
If you live closer to Marrakech go to British consular in Marrakech it's much quicker and easier and than when you need to legalise your British embassy certificates go to agadir ministry of affairs less busy and dine in 1-2 minutes but the guy comes in at 11am do be there for 10am.
Bribing is something you will encounter somewhere so if they as for gifts to your partner just give them 100/200dirhams to save you the hassle of waiting 1-2 weeks like other members,
I gave my documents in Thursday and done nikah Wednesday Alhamduliiah
Please note police interview is normal and nothing to worry about and they ask you few questions and it's done
But be patient as it can be frustrating but never give up !!!
Hope you all the best and if any questions please ask as am happy to help
