Legalising documents

We can legalise many types of documents for use overseas. Documents must be Australian public documents. This means:

  • originals issued by an Australian government agency or official
  • originals issued by an Australian educational institution
  • copies notarised by an Australian Notary Public

See more about different types of public documents we legalise.

We cannot legalise Moroccan documents. These must be legalised by Moroccan authorities. Check www.apostille.ma (external website) for additional information.

General Letter of No Objection

The Australian Embassy does not issue personalised letters of no objection. Some moving companies might require you to provide a letter from the Embassy to authorise you to move your personal effects into or out of Morocco. For a general letter which could be used to assist you, please download the General Letter of No Objection (PDF file) (Digitally-signed) (English and French).

Australians getting married in Morocco

Marriages are not performed or registered at the Australian Embassy in Morocco.

If you're an Australian citizen and intend on getting married in Morocco, you might be asked to present a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (also known as a No Objection to Marriage Letter, a Certificat Célibat de Coutume, or a Certificat de Non-Opposition au Mariage). This is a document required by Moroccan authorities by which you declare you are free to marry and are not currently married.

You may complete our application for a CNI online, print it, do not sign it, and bring it to an appointment at the Embassy with your Australian passport, along with your partner's ID or passport.

Fees apply.

For further information on requirements to getting married in Morocco, you should contact your nearest Moroccan diplomatic mission, as we are unable to provide further information on Moroccan requirements.
