Do*****ts for marrage

[celineb]

hello

I know this is the same subject as most of these, so i apolgise!

Could some one let me know the do*****ts i need to get married in tunisia.

i know i need the certificate of no impediment. but i have read all the comments of needing bank statements and pay slips and everything else.

but are these paperwork for marrage or for trying to obtain a visa for living in uk?

any help would be very much appriciated as with all the different info i am reading is very confusing!!

thank you!!

hi celine, my information may not be very up to date but before you needed your certificate of non impediment, this depends if you're planning on getting this in Tunisia or in the uk before you go there. If your doing this in Tunisia then you need to be there for over 21 days, your go to the consulate and give notice of marriage and this is posted on the wall for another length of days, cant quite remember how long. If no-one contests this then you apply for your non impediment. They only need to see your passport and you pay the fee and have a little interview. Then when you actually do the contract this is when you'll need a copy of your birth certificate-now this can differ as mine was my original however some need an up to date version and this needs to be translated, my advice would be to get this done locally as its quite expensive through the embassey, you'll also need your medical certificate from the doctor
You only need pay slips and bank statements for visa etc, these aren't needed for marriage
If you visit http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/ser...=1022256797639 this will provide you with everything you need

Good luck

you'll be fine celine, I think the worst thing is reading to much into everything to be perfectly honest, when I went through it all, I was in Tunisia and didn't even know this site existed, it wasn't until I came back home and had already applied for both a holiday and spouse visa that I found this site, so even though there's a lot of info on here it can get a little confusing and worrying for others.

Copy of my passport. For him he needed his birth cert in arabic and french, his id card and i think thats about it....
Hope this helps.

hi nicola. i have just read your message and i saw that you said he only needed his birth certifiacte and id card. i am marrying my tunisia fiance in august, does he not need to apply for a certificate of non impediment like we have to, with the 21 day thing?! Its all so complicated

Hi Karenc i'm not 100% sure but think when I did mine I put his details on it and it covered us both. I'm sure you will get all the answers you need on here. Good luck, when are you getting married?

Hi Karen,

You apply in your local registry office and they'll put both your names on it (hubby doesn't need to do anything in Tunisia). You'll need to know his full name, age DOB, home address & whether he's employed. You'll also need to state in which locality the marriage will take place (Sousse will cover it), the exact venue does not have to be confirmed. Hope that helps!
