Dear questioner,

Marriages between the two individuals, at least one of whom is an Indian citizen with a residence visa of the UAE, are solemnized/registered at the consulate, under Foreign Marriage Act, 1969.

Please approach the consulate through e-mail, walk-ins, or phone for further clarification. The documents required are as follows:

1. Passport and visa copies of prospective bride and groom.

2. Singleness certificate/divorce decree [in case of divorcee]/death certificate [in case death of earlier spouse].

3. 4 passport size photographs of bride&groom.

4. Self-attested copies of passports&visas of three witnesses, plus original passports.

5. Duly filled-in form for "Notice of Intended Marriage" (4 copies).

6. Duly filled-in form for "Declaration by Prospective Bride and Groom" (2 copies).

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
