Hello joe,

Apparently, there's a form that you obtain from City Hall (Baladia) that you take to any medical doctor for a health exam. It sounds like some blood testing will be required. Have your fiance or her family do the questioning as to what will be needed before you leave the US. Otherwise, you will find yourself playing a game that you are not familiar with, all on your own.

As to the birth certificate, you normally get a notarized copy from your city or county of birth; you then take it or send it to the embassy (including a prepaid return envelope) for certification. Ask if you can do the translation in Tunisia.

Remember that the laws' interpretations are dependent on who's in charge that you are talking to at the moment.

Best of luck!

From the link:

"Prenuptial Marriage Certificate – This is a medical certificate establishing eligibility to contract marriage. This certificate must have a maximum validity of two months at the time of marriage. Each party must be free of any contagious diseases (primarily tuberculosis and syphilis), alcoholism and mental illness. The City Hall in Tunis will supply a printed form for this certificate upon request. All doctors practicing in Tunisia are authorized to perform these medical examinations."

" You get the form from the baladiya in whatever municipality you are planning to get married in and take it to a doctor or hospital there to have the medical assessment performed which will include blood test and chest x-ray. Both parties have to do the medical."

You take the completed form back with you to book your marriage appointment and give them all the rest of your paperwork."
