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.
