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 The town hall of your place of residence; civil marriage is what creates rights and comes before any religious ceremony

Worth knowing

  • A religious ceremony alone creates no legal rights in France; the civil marriage at the town hall is the basis.
  • The Arab community in France is among the largest in Europe, mostly of North African origin.
  • If one party is outside France, learn the family-reunification conditions before the contract, not after.
