Marriage in Abu Dhabi

Getting married in Abu Dhabi? Get Married the Right Way, with Legal Confidence.

Getting married in Abu Dhabi can feel confusing, especially for expats and couples from different nationalities. Between embassy paperwork, court requirements, and translation rules, many people aren’t sure where to start.

At Aramas International Lawyers, we make it simple. Our Legal Marriage service helps couples handle every legal step, from confirming eligibility to receiving an official marriage certificate. You’ll have a licensed legal team supporting you throughout, giving you peace of mind that your marriage is valid and fully recognised.

Unlike wedding organisers or document agencies, we are qualified lawyers who understand the legal process in detail. We focus on real legal compliance, not just paperwork.

Civil Marriage Applications in the UAE

The key legal requirements for a civil marriage in the UAE are that both parties are over 18 years of age, and that they consent to the marriage. Each party also needs to sign a form to acknowledge that they are not currently married to anyone else. Applicants are not required to have their fathers or guardians approval, nor do they need a premarital screening certificate.

Our Core Services

Our team has guided many expat and mixed-nationality couples through the process of getting legally married in Abu Dhabi. Here’s what’s included in our Legal Marriage Package.

1. Consultation on Marriage Eligibility and Requirements

Every couple is different. We start with a one-to-one consultation to review your situation and confirm what’s required under UAE law.
We check your nationality, visa type, religion, and marital history to confirm eligibility. If you need extra documents such as a divorce decree, consent letter, or affidavit, we’ll explain exactly how to get them. Our goal is to make sure everything is clear before you begin.

2. Preparation of Court Application and Documents

We prepare and review all the court documents for your marriage application. This includes affidavits, witness statements if needed, and any official translations.
By ensuring everything is correct before submission, we help you avoid common errors that can delay or even reject your application.

3. Court Appointment and Attendance Assistance

Once your documents are ready, we book your court appointment and help you prepare for the day. One of our legal representatives can also attend with you to make sure the process runs smoothly. We handle the court coordination so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

4. Legal Guidance at Every Step

Throughout the process, you’ll have ongoing access to our lawyers for advice. We’ll explain each stage in simple terms so you always know what’s happening next. Whether you need help understanding court timelines or how your marriage will be recognised abroad, we’ll be there to guide you.

5. Marriage Certificate and Translation

Once your marriage has been registered by the court, we help you receive your official marriage certificate. We also take care of certified translations into Arabic, English, or other required languages. This ensures your certificate can be used both in the UAE and internationally.

6. Registration and Notarisation Support

Finally, we handle registration and notarisation with the correct authorities. This guarantees your marriage is legally recognised by government bodies, embassies, and foreign institutions.

Why Getting Married in Abu Dhabi Is a Smart Choice

Abu Dhabi has become one of the most straightforward and recognised places in the Middle East to get legally married. The local authorities now offer clear guidelines and faster processing for non-Muslim and expat marriages.

However, understanding what’s required for your nationality, religion, and residency status can still be complex. That’s where we come in. We ensure your paperwork meets all legal standards so your marriage is valid both in Abu Dhabi and your home country.

Many of our clients tell us they tried to manage the process themselves and found it overwhelming. With Aramas International Lawyers, everything is managed for you, giving you time to focus on what truly matters — your relationship.
