@Rizwandirect hi what date is available

meriemzahi

Hi All,


I have an appointment 30th July and really need one as soon as possible. Anyone have any earlier dates?


Thanks

Mo Nesta

Hey all, anyone has an appointment in MAY they don't need?

Celina963

Unfortunately probably gonna have real difficult time with this I wish you luck but I would suggest you could leave at least four to five months in advance to book with these guys and it's not easy even after that you have to stay up all night trying to find when they release the appointment

Mo Nesta

They released appointments today for Rabat. but they cancelled it as soon as i booked the date in May. anyone knows what can i do next

Yasmin21

@Mo Nesta there is an appointment showing 7th May and three x august 8th if you are quick

Yasmin21

Mo Nesta

Thanks Yasmin I booked one end of April hopefully they won't cancel it....

Hi everyone, I have an appointment next week 23/04 Tuesday at the British embassy in Marrakech. I have changed the spelling of my name in the uk officially legally. How can i contact the embassy to change the spelling of my name? i cant find the email they sent me and i only have a screenshot of it so cant open a link to edit?

Thanks all

Mo Nesta

Another day another cancellation do they only accept people on Tuesday's as it's says 0 appointment on Tuesdays but unavailable on the other days.

Yasmin21

They cancelled my appointment for 14th May.


What do I do?


I have booked flights and have all my documents ready?


I'm devastated.


What is the solution?

Mo Nesta

Yasmin what time was your appointment? You better off getting a letter from the registry..

Yasmin21

9am 14th May


How do I get letter from the registry?


Please share the process?


I'm inconsolable

Mo Nesta

Im sorry to hear im on the same boat.  tomorrow morning call your local registry and explain to them you getting married abroad they will book an appointment for you. it will take 30 days for you to receive the letter

Yasmin21

@Mo Nesta why did they cancel your appointment?

Yasmin21

How soon will they book an appointment? Is it months? Do they book on the phone when I call tomorrow or when the 30 days have passed?

@Yasmin21 im sure you can go to rabat as they did the same to me and then when i arrived i went to the office and they said i can go there and get it done on the same day

Yasmin21

@Xxscotlssxx allhamdulillah. I am very grateful for your message. I have made another appointment for July but this does not help. I have messaged them and will call this morning.  When they cancelled your appointment did you call them? I don't want to make a wasted trip to find they cannot see me.

Yasmin21

Do the embassy in Rabat not pick up calls? Operator option keeps ringing out. I'm calling 212537 633333


Should I be doing something else?

Mo Nesta

@Yasmin21 yes they cancelled it 3 times now annoying!

Aa.Guest

Same, wallahi they cancelled my appointment as well. I’m infuriated!! I had already booked my flight, and now that’s gone to waste. This is dhulm!!! How can they get away with this!!. They need to be held accountable.


There’s no point me requesting a CNI from the registrar. That will take a further month


حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل

Yasmin21

@Aa.Guest can't we just turn up? Its bad, I don't know what to do. Like you I have all documents ready, paid for the flights etc. No one is picking up or answering my email. Its atrocious. Really, I'm inclined to just turn up. How dare they just cancel people's appointments. I only booked one too.

Yasmin21

@Xxscotlssxx they cancelled my appointment for July too. When was your appointment? Has it passed? Did they accept you the same day of your actual appointment and what was their reason for cancelling.


If you could let us know as there are a few of us having the same experience and are inclined to attend our appointments as planned even though they cancelled them.

Yasmin21

@Yasmin21 cancelled May 14th as well as July which I booked after the cancelled date. So there's no point in re booking if they are going to cancel them.

Xxscotlssxx

@dwlaw324 do you need appoiment

SiriusBlack

@Xxscotlssxx


Hi, can you just turn up in a Week Day without an appointment?

Yasmin21

@SiriusBlack they will likely turn you away. You will find an appointment if you make the effort to check the website for marrakech and Rabat every day every hour. Refresh the page often!  Just make sure you don't book more than one appointment or they will cancel them due to duplicates and fairness to others who ate struggling to find an appointment.

Thanks, i will check and have been checking.  And how do people swap appointments? Are they not registered by name?

Yasmin21

@SiriusBlack I gave a sister my appointment usimg my confirmation email and clicking on 'update'. I needed her email address and full name to do it and they sent her the confirmation. Not sure if there is any other way of doing this.

SiriusBlack

@Yasmin21


An update, finally got an appointment slot for October....I am hoping they will not cancel me!!!  There was one popped up for next tuesday but that is too soon as I don't even have my Certificate of Impediment yet from my local registrar.


Fingers crossed!

Yasmin21

@SiriusBlack Amazing, if you have only made one appointment they won't inshallah.


If you want one earlier, keep checking. Glad you have an appointment. That's the main thing.

Yasmin21

@SiriusBlack Also - you do not need a certificate of impediment to marry. The enbassy do that for you.

SiriusBlack

@Yasmin21


You don't need a certificate of impediment? I thought you do, it said that you do.  I actually am getting one, paid $50 for it already but I applied for it before i got an appointment...more than 3 months between the date of the certificate to the planned wedding in October.


So the appointing at the Embassy is for the same thing?

jadeleighdwyer

Has anyone got an appointment for next week, I was not aware of all these issues until I arrived in Morocco. The idea was to get married in September/2024 unfortunately I can't seem to find an appointment. Does anyone got an appointment for next week? This booking system is horrible. They should have warned us about the booking system. If I don't find an appointment, I will turn up at the embassy and see what they say. I will give you, my feedback.

SafiHal898

The booking system is a nightmare. I booked my appointment in December - the soonest available was May. And after that appointment, there's even more to follow. Getting married in Morocco is not a simple process unfortunately.

@Gengad hi did you manage to get an appointment ? What process you follow ?
