Criminal record and marriage licenses

Post new topic

Salam,


I am an American citizen looking to get married to a moroccan citizen. I have all necessary documents. I have a couple of charges from my youth, theft, assault, and possession of marijuana under 30 grams. My last charge, the assault has passed the 10 year mark. What's the chances I will be able to get a marriage license?

Bill Shepherd

No chance whatsoever.


Get married *overseas* and *register* the marriage in Morocco. That way you skip all the nonsense (medical checks, background checks, etc.)

Are we to assume all of these charges are showing on your criminal record?
