Je suis un bi national qui vit en France, je dois me marrier avec ma fiancée qui vit actuellement en algérie.
Je viens d'obtenir le CCaM de la part du consultat.
Pour faire l'acte de mariage en algérie de quoi ai je besoin comme document ?
Me ferront ils ( mairie en algérie) les documents en français ?
Amis franco alégerien venez a ma rescousse, je suis dans le flou.
Bonsoir samir!
Tout d'abord mes félicitaions, je te souhaite beaucoup de bonheur!
Je ne suis pas très sure, ça a changé depuis peu, il y a de nouvelles lois concernant le mariage, il vous faut surement les documents suivants :l'acte de naissance de la mairie du lieu de naissance d'origine .un certificat de célibat d'origine (il se fait avec deux avec témoins)un certificat médical ( pas de maladies transmisibles)une carte d'identitéun certificat de nationalité
voila! je pense que c'est tout, pour etre plus sure faudra se renseigner à l"ambassade d'Algérie en France .
bonsoir;
tu ramene avec toi en algérieton acte de néssance original.ta carte d'didentité
et une fois en algérie tu fera des annalyses de sang comme ca tu aura un certificat médical(pas de maladie transmible), c facile tu peu demandé ca au médecin de l'hopital il te fera le nécéssaire.
mais un conseil fais ton mariage a la mairie évite le notaire.
apres tu demande la copie intégrale de l'acte de mariage je dis bien l'intégrale
si la mairie ne te la délivre pas demande une copie vierge(photocopie de l'intégrale)et apres la mairie te remplie cette copie et te la vise.crois moi c'est la bonne route a suivre.
apres tu envoie tt le dossier a nantes (attention a qu'un papiers te manque)et je t'assure que tu aura ton livret de famille au bout de 2 semaine.
puisque ta fais le ccm ne crains rien
et bonne chance......................................................alisya
bonjour;

donc le délais ca serait de la faire avant le mariage civil pr la constitution du dossier
Je me lance sur ce forum pour vous faire partager mon histoire et me soulager un petit peu, n espérant que vous pourrez m'aider et m'orienter !
J'ai la double nationalité FRANCO-ALGERIEN et je me suis marié le 05 avril 2011 avec ma femme à EL KALA en Algérie (ANNABA). Un dossier complet a été envoyé à Nantes mais sans le CCAM. Un retour de leur part avec instruction de dossier m'a été envoyé le 19 avril 2011. Aujourd'hui nous sommes un peu découragé, nous n'avons jamais rien reçu malgré une relance par fax et par mail !! Nous ne savons même pas si il manque une pièce dans le dossier où si ils vont nous convoquer pour procéder à une audition ?? Alors ma question après 8 mois d'attente est : est-ce que pas de nouvelle veut dire bonne nouvelle ?? Ou est ce que cela ne veut rien dire du tout ?? On se pose énormément de questions !!! Je sais que chaque cas est différent mais j'aimerais savoir qu'est ce qui est légal ou pas ? Quels sont les délais et qu'est ce que dois-je faire ?? MERCI de vos réponses

Bonjour,
J'ai plusieurs questions concernant le CCAM :
1) Pour un mariage en août 2013 peut-on faire la demande de CCAM maintenant en mars 2013 ? c'est pas très clair sur le site internet du consulat Annaba...ils disent de "déposer le dossier CCAM au minimum 1 mois 1/2 avant la célébration du mariage" mais j'ai peur que ça fasse trop court, c'est pour ça que je veux m'y prendre dès maintenant
2) Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu un rdv pour le CCAM mais en mairie en France ?
si on ne peut pas se déplacer le futur(e)époux/se a son rdv en France et l'autre futur(e) époux/se au consulat en Algérie, le traitement du dossier est plus long 3 mois au lieu de 2 mois, je précise que c'est bien le futur(e) époux/se en Algérie qui doit déposer le dossier dans ce cas là au consulat et après il y a une convocation à la mairie en France pour l'autre futur(e) époux/se... comment ça s'est passé ? pour ceux qui ont eu les questions en France
Hi everyone, could someone help me out? I can’t find a solution because I need to get married in France with my partner, who is Cambodian. Her birth village refuses to provide a certificate of custom—they just won’t do it. I contacted the Cambodian embassy in France, and they told me that her village’s town hall should just give her a document stating they can’t issue it, signed and stamped. So, my partner went back and asked again in writing, but they still refused. At this point, I don’t know what to do, especially since my partner has to come to France in September to get married at the town hall, and they’re asking for the same thing. Can anyone help?
Best regards.
My husband and I have just gone through this stage of a Franco-Togolese marriage—he’s Togolese, and I’m French.
Given how complicated things can get with the administration, I thought I’d leave this post here. If you’d like advice or want to learn from our experience, don’t hesitate to ask...
Hi, it's Joyce—I’ve got a little issue. I’d like to know if you need a passport to start the CCAM process at the French Embassy in Yaoundé, or if it’s better to do it when registering the birth. Thanks!
Hello,
my Indian fiancé and I are getting married in France in a few weeks. Like many couples before us, we had extreme difficulties finding out the steps to follow in India to obtain the necessary documents for our marriage. We received no useful information from the Indian Embassy in Paris. It took us hours of research on traveler forums to gather scattered information and piece together the puzzle. I decided to summarize here the steps that allowed my fiancé to obtain the required papers, so other couples can struggle a little less than we did in the future.
I hope this post helps!
Context reminder: the list of documents required for a non-EU national to marry in France (see also www.service-public.fr):
Certificate of Custom: This is an explanation in French of the rules governing marriage eligibility in your country of origin. I read that some countries include proof that the applicant is indeed eligible. This is not the case for India.
Single-status certificate/marital capacity certificate. This is simply proof that you are eligible to marry under the laws of your country of origin.
Birth certificate.
All these documents must be less than 6 months old at the date of the banns publication.
The birth certificate and the single-status certificate must be apostilled. This procedure is linked to the international Hague Convention, of which both France and India are members. The apostille is a kind of stamp affixed to an official document by the authorities of the country where it was issued, giving it legal value in a third country.
How we obtained these documents:
The certificate of custom is very easy to obtain if you already live in France. You just need to go to the Indian Embassy in Paris with the required documents and pay the fees. We received it by mail the next day. The instructions on the Indian Embassy in Paris website are very clear (spring 2019). See also the VFS Global website (the company to which the embassy outsources consular activities).
Obtaining the single-status certificate was much more complicated. In France, a birth certificate is enough to prove whether you are married or not, as annotations are added for every major life event. In contrast, the Indian administration, although it can prove that someone is already married, is unable to prove that someone is still single. The only way to resolve this is to produce an affidavit. It took several trials and errors before we succeeded, as the administrators we dealt with generally did not know the procedure. Here’s what finally worked:
Prepare the affidavit on 100-rupee bond paper (first party: signatory; second party: Sub-Divisional Magistrate) at the Sub-Divisional Magistrate’s office in your place of birth. See Model No. 1 below. It must be signed by you and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. For my fiancé, the latter only agreed to sign after presenting a certificate from the Tahsildar of his birth Taluk stating that he knew my fiancé was still single. If you don’t know the Tahsildar well, it might be useful to first request such a certificate from the "village accountant" before approaching the Tahsildar. We don’t know if the process would be the same in other districts than my fiancé’s.
Attestation at the Regional Commissioner’s (RC) office. The Ministry of External Affairs will only apostille documents that have been attested this way. In our case, we found clear information about the procedure on the Regional Commissioner’s website (required documents, cost, bond paper value). The RC asked us to justify why my fiancé needed a single-status certificate. Such certificates are usually requested by people wishing to join the army, in which case the RC receives a request letter. I asked the mayor of my village to sign such a letter (see Model No. 2, which I wrote myself). I come from a very small town, which was lucky here, as the mayor knows both of us personally and immediately agreed to do it. I have no idea if it would be as easy in a larger town. Once the document was submitted to the RC, it was sent back to the administrator who issued it for authentication. This back-and-forth should not take more than 25 days, but it may be useful to follow the progress of the procedure by calling or visiting the offices of both administrations regularly.
Send the attested documents to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for apostille. In 2019, the Indian MEA only accepts apostille requests through private operators, whose list is available on the MEA website.
The birth certificate, once obtained from the municipality of your place of birth, follows the same procedure as the single-status certificate: attestation by the Regional Commissioner, then apostille at the Ministry of External Affairs.
Note: The Indian Embassy in Paris offers to issue a birth certificate. We recommend NOT GOING THROUGH THEM. The procedure is expensive, and they simply copy the information available on your passport. We seriously doubt the validity of such a document for marriage.
A few tips:
Obtaining these documents in India will require a lot of time, patience, and creativity! For us, more than 4 months passed between the moment my fiancé signed his single-status certificate and the day we had it apostilled in hand. In the meantime, there were dozens of phone calls and visits to various local administrations, a lot of brainstorming, and money wasted on canceled flights due to the monsoon.
If you have contacts in the local administration, don’t hesitate to use them. Also, if possible, closely monitor the progress of the procedures by calling or visiting the offices regularly, as mistakes are very common.
I recommend only requesting the certificate of custom once you’re close to having the other documents in hand, as it’s expensive, its issuance is very quick (at least if you both live in France; otherwise, I don’t know), and it’s only valid for 6 months.
All the steps for the birth certificate and the single-status certificate must be done in person, which can be complicated if you already live outside India. Some companies offer to handle it for you if you’re willing to pay. My fiancé bypassed the problem by designating his brother as an "Authorised representative" (a step taken at the notary of his birth Taluk). Once the single-status certificate was established in person, my fiancé’s brother was able to take over and complete the rest of the steps on his behalf. Finally, we asked the service provider handling the apostille to send the documents to our address in France via DHL (we don’t trust the postal service, as we’ve had mail stuck at customs for several weeks before).
My fiancé first tried to establish his single-status certificate at the notary of his birth Taluk. It didn’t work because the Regional Commissioner categorically refused to attest it. Indeed, it is generally forbidden to make any modifications to a document signed by a notary.
Once the birth certificate and the single-status certificate arrive in France, you must have them translated by a sworn translator registered with the Court of Appeal in your area. You can find the list on your Court of Appeal’s website. There are no sworn translators for all Indian languages! So, check beforehand if one exists for the language in which your certificates will be issued, or ensure they are issued in English.
Model No. 1 - Single-status certificate, affidavit
I, (name of applicant), son of (name of father) and (name of mother), with permanent address (address in India), solemnly affirm and declare as follows:

Hi there, please could you tell me how to arrange a marriage interview at the embassy? My fiancé has already been interviewed. Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
hi everyone,
I’m new to this site. Here’s my issue: I just got married in Cameroon to my wife, and I’m waiting for our family record book. After that, I’m trying to figure out what I need to do to apply for her visa. But I’d like her to apply for visas for her children at the same time so they can come with her—is that possible?! Do we need to get passports for her children, or is just the visa application enough? They’re 8 and 15 years old. Thanks!
Otherwise, I’d have to apply for family reunification, but she’d have to stay in France for 18 months before she can apply for her children’s visas—that’s way too long!!!
If anyone can give me some advice or help with this complicated situation, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks so much for your help.
Best regards,
Hi, the situation is complicated...
My son would like to marry his girlfriend (married to a Filipino in the Philippines but separated for 14 years), who is from the Philippines... but... what complicates things is that she lives in Switzerland illegally—her visa expired after a divorce from a Swiss national, and she received a deportation order in 2022 but never left.
Just to clarify, she’s been working in Switzerland for 10 years and pays Swiss taxes...
Recently, she reapplied for a work visa to request residency rights so she could marry my son, but they refused, and she’s already received an order to leave the country... What can we do? We don’t know who to turn to
I was interviewed at the town hall of my place of residence on March 7, 2025. My fiancée still hasn’t been interviewed by the consulate. The question is whether I need to schedule an appointment for her interview or wait for the consulate to call. Thanks for your reply
Hi everyone, I need some help, please. My partner wants to send our CCAM file to the embassy in Yaoundé from France. We’re wondering if, with the pandemic, the file will even arrive and how long it’ll take. Would it be better to send it directly to the address in Cameroon? We’d planned to drop it off in March but couldn’t, and my interview is next month (even though I know it’ll probably be postponed). I’d really like the file to be in their hands before my interview date. Please help—what should I do?
Please, I need your expert advice.
I’m Cameroonian, married to a Frenchman of Cameroonian origin.
My husband just received a message saying our marriage certificate has been properly transcribed and that copies will be sent to his local town hall via diplomatic pouch.
I’d like to know the details of what comes next so I can apply for my long-stay visa.
Also, I’m about to get a passport—can I use my ID that still has my maiden name, or do I have to get a new ID with my married name before applying for a passport?
Basically, will getting a passport with my maiden name now cause problems later in the process? I really don’t want to deal with the hassle of getting a new ID right now.
Our best friend, who is Moroccan/French, wants to marry an Algerian woman. They’ve already met, and the first steps have been taken.
It seems like getting married under these circumstances is really complicated—has anyone been in a similar situation and could share some advice on the administrative side or the steps to take?
