Documents required
The couple’s original passport plus photocopies.
Identification papers for the bride’s father (or guardian) and witnesses are
also necessary.
If the bride’s father is deceased, a Sharia’ah Declaration
of his death must be provided as well as consent of the bride’s brother or an
uncle from the father’s side. If there are no male relatives to give consent
there must be documentation proving this. If the bride’s father cannot be
present, a letter of consent is required. In this case, a certified copy of his
passport must also be included to verify his signature.
If the bride is Muslim and her father or guardian
non-Muslim, a certificate of no impediment (or no objection) from the bride’s
embassy or consulate is required.
If the bride is divorced or widowed, proof will be
required.
Non-UAE citizens should check with their embassy as many
require letters of no objection from employers and perhaps clearance from the
Police Directorate stating the parties do not have any criminal records.
For non-UAE citizens, all English documents
issued outside the UAE, including birth and death certificates and divorce
decree must be translated into Arabic by a legal translator (i.e. approved by
the Court).- There will be 10% Charges for cancellation
