Local preparation can involve Moroccan documents, medical paperwork, photographs, translations, applicable legalisations and assembly of the application file. Confirm where and how each required step can be completed. Our in-person service is organised in Rabat after advance preparation and review; documents requiring action in their issuing country should be prepared before travel where necessary. Allow separately for preparation before travel, local file preparation and the official process after submission. Our one-day service is an arranged file-preparation day, not completion of the marriage. Completion depends on the required advance preparation, correct documents and availability of relevant offices and services. Court enquiries, appointments, authorisation and signing take place separately and official processing times are outside our control.
Regardless of the city where you plan to marry in Morocco, you must come to Rabat for a number of required documents and administrative steps. This is where the in-person assistance service is completed.
Couples have shared their experience of our document preparation and in-person assistance in Morocco.
“Tremendous amount of support from start to finish provided by James, he broke everything down into small steps and phases so there was no sense of being overwhelmed. His knowledge and expertise saved us a lot of trouble and I was able to get married super quick! Special thanks to Sokaina for her help on the in person assistance day.”
“Very very helpful to have somebody to guide me and instruct us about the process of getting married in Morocco. As there are many things you have to do. The help I received from the Marriage in Morocco company helped us very much with getting around difficult challenges and documents.”

Doing this alone can mean repeated journeys, conflicting instructions, language barriers, missed legalisations and documents prepared in the wrong order. With us, you are not simply “supported”: we meet you in Rabat, visit the required offices with you and take care of the paperwork and file preparation professionally. Regardless of where you are getting married in Morocco, important documents, essential steps and ministry offices are only available in Rabat, so it is necessary to come to Rabat on the arranged day.
Your preparation from Step 1 — Initial Consultation feeds directly into a fully coordinated in-person service. Your documents are translated in advance where supplied on time; then we accompany you, obtain the local documents, handle legalisations and paperwork, and prepare the original file and three (3) duplicate files.
We recheck the originals prepared through your Initial Consultation guidance so problems can be identified before your appointment.
Documents supplied on time are pre-translated into Arabic by a court-certified translator, saving valuable time in Rabat.
We meet you in person, confirm every original and manage the day from the first appointment to the completed file.
We accompany you through the necessary Rabat offices, communicate locally and keep the steps in the correct order.
Moroccan criminal record — Local preparation can involve Moroccan documents, medical paperwork, photographs, translations, applicable legalisations and assembly of the application file. Confirm where and how each required step can be completed. Our in-person service is organised in Rabat after advance preparation and review; documents requiring action in their issuing country should be prepared before travel where necessary.
We guide and coordinate the required medical step so the certificate can be obtained and added correctly to your application.
We manage the practical legalisation, copying and administrative preparation so you are not left working it out alone.
We assemble, label and order the complete original marriage file exactly as the court expects to receive it.
We prepare three duplicate files from the finished original file, giving you organised copies for the next stages.
Names, dates, translations, originals and supporting papers are checked together before we hand over the completed file.
Guidance for foreign nationals marrying Moroccan citizens: document preparation, legalisations, translations and the marriage application process.
You are paying for experienced, hands-on execution—not a list of instructions. We stay with you in Rabat, manage the route and paperwork, and turn many separate administrative tasks into one professionally coordinated service.
Clear answers about what we prepare, what is included and what you need to do.

Yes. You need to attend in person in Rabat, and we must remain with you throughout the day while we complete all the necessary tasks. You may have one additional person with you, such as your Moroccan fiancé(e), but no more than one additional person.
Yes. Before you come, we will review your documents and arrange for them to be pre-translated before your file is finalised. Translation fees are separate from and charged separately from the in-person assistance fee.
We prepare the original court-standard file, three (3) duplicate files and your submission briefing. We also provide guidance on the exact steps you need to follow. Even though we are not with you when you go to the Adoul and court to submit your file, you will know exactly what to do and how the process works, so everything is simple and easy.
No. The Initial Consultation is a required step of our services. Regardless of whether you have prepared documents before coming or think you already know what you need, we must complete the Initial Consultation. It is an extremely important part of the process.
Not completely. AI tools can provide general information, but you should never rely on them as a complete or definitive source of advice for your personal circumstances. Artificial intelligence cannot reliably confirm the precise requirements of every local court, district and city in Morocco, and the documents required can vary according to where your marriage will take place and your individual situation. We have assisted clients who relied on AI-generated information, travelled to Morocco and then contacted us after discovering problems with their document preparation.
Facebook groups and online forums can contain genuine experiences from people who have completed the marriage process. However, their information is specific to their nationality, country of birth or residence, personal circumstances, marriage city, district and court. Some advice may be correct for that person but incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for you. With so much conflicting information online, it is easy to become confused about which requirements actually apply.
This is why specialised guidance from the beginning is the safest and most effective approach. We confirm the requirements that apply to your circumstances and local court, guide you through every step, answer questions by email and WhatsApp, provide as much clarification as you need and review your preparation to help prevent avoidable mistakes.
Authentication and translation serve different purposes. An apostille authenticates the origin of an eligible public document where the Apostille Convention applies; other documents may require a different legalisation route or qualify for an exemption. Documents executed by diplomatic or consular agents are excluded from that Convention. Do not assume every document needs both an apostille and further legalisation. Confirm the route for each document with the issuing authority and receiving authority.
A certified translation provides the document contents in the required language; it does not replace an apostille or legalisation. Confirm which documents and authentication certificates need certified Arabic translation and the acceptable translator requirements. Agree the order of authentication and final translation before commissioning the work. Keep names and dates consistent across the originals and translations.

Our role is preparation guidance, document review and, when booked, practical file-preparation assistance. The adouls and competent court have separate official responsibilities. Our service does not replace those responsibilities, issue marriage authorisation, submit the file on your behalf or guarantee approval. Follow the confirmed local procedure for submission, enquiries, authorisation and signing.
