Registration and paperwork

Procedures change, and they differ with your situation and your nationality. What follows is a general pointer, nothing more; the authority itself is the reference, and you should ask it before taking any step.

Usually handled by A licensed maʾdhūn from the Sunni or the Jaafari division, then attestation at the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf

Worth knowing

  • Premarital medical screening is a prerequisite for attesting the contract; check with the relevant health authority.
  • The Family Law covers both the Sunni and the Jaafari schools, and the maʾdhūn is chosen from the matching division.

The French consular procedure, on our agency site

Mizan also runs a marriage agency, and it publishes dated guides on the French procedure: the certificate of capacity to marry, the publication of banns, and registering the marriage in the French civil registry. Each guide names the consular page it was checked against, and the date it was checked.

These describe what France asks of its own nationals. They do not describe the local law of the country on this page.
