How to get married in Dubai?

Dear questioner,

You should have the following certificates:

• Both of your birth certificates.
• Both of your passports including the visa page if you are resident in the UAE (copy).
• Certificate of baptism (at least one) or the pastor’s letter (if possible).
• Marriage Affidavit/Affirmation or a similar document to prove you’re allowed to marry (to get one, you will need to make an appointment at your embassy).
• The intent of marriage applications.
• Confirmation that neither you nor your father is Muslim.
• If you have been divorced – the final divorce papers (final decree).
• A former marriage certificate must be shown, if applicable.
• If you are widowed, the death certificate of late spouse.
• Two witnesses over 18 years old.
• Passports of two witnesses (originals and copies).

If you are a Muslim, Sharia Law will be applicable.
