About This Service

The UAE allows expatriate couples to legally register their civil marriage through the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD). This is open to any religion and any nationality, except Emirati nationals. No religious ceremony is required.

The process results in an official UAE Civil Marriage Certificate that is internationally recognized — useful for UAE residency visas, family sponsorship, property ownership, and legal documentation abroad.

Highlights FZE manages the complete process: document preparation, filling, registration, appointment scheduling, certificate collection, and MOFA attestation of the issued certificate — all included in our packages.

Documents required: Copy of passport, copy of Emirates ID or copy of visit visa (if visitor), and UAE Pass account.
