bonjour je fréquente depuis quelques temps ma future compagne avec qui j'ai l'intention de me marié ma question est la suivante peut elle venir en France pour procédé au mariage si oui quel sont les démarche a suivre sachant que j'ai déposé dans ma mairie une publication de banc avec tout ces document administratif ainsi que les miens ... a t'elle besoin d'un visa touristique ou autres pour me rejoindre !
Tout depend de votre compagne: est elle riche et/ou celebre et/ou a la retraite ? Si vous repondez non, alors il y a 99,9% qu'elle ne soit pas autorisee a venir en France. Si vous l'avez rencontre sur internet, alors on peut dire 99,99% et si vous etes alle moins de trois fois la voir aux Philippines, je dirai 99,999%.
Cela veut dire que c'est a vous de vous deplacer pour vous marier. Une fois que vous aurez votre livret de famille, plus de probleme, elle aura meme un visa gratos !!
Bonne chance !

Rebonjour
Le visa ayant été refusé ce jour pour venir en France (je vais attaquer au niveau européen)
Nous allons tout redémarrer aux Philippines
Nous avons le temps
L'ambassade peut elle me refuser le CCAM?
Merci
Yves
bonjour, sa vas servir a rien . juste une perte de temps et d’argent.
faite les chose comme il faut.
TRES IMPORTANT, AVANT TOUTE DEMARCHE, AVOIR AU MOINS 3 TAMPONS D’ENTREE AU PHILIPPINES SUR VOTRE PASSEPORT. Si vous n’avez pas ces trois tampons, votre demande de CCAM seras automatiquement refusé.
Pour la demande de CCAM :
Il faut avoir impérativement 3 tampons d’entré dans le pays. (En l’occurrence, les philippines)
Si vous n’avez pas ces 3 tampon, votre demande seras refusé
Demande de CCAM :
Téléchargé sur le site de l’ambassade de France aux philippines, l’imprimé à remplir et a déposé l’or de l’entretien a l’ambassade.
Prendre avec vous :
3 ou 4 actes de mariage ( si vous avez été marié et êtes divorcé ) et 3 ou 4 actes de naissance en plurilingue, 4 photocopies de votre passeport et 4 photocopies de votre carte d’identité, justificatif de domicile ( faire plusieurs photocopie ) le tous, daté de moins de trois mois.
Prendre plusieurs photos de vous avec votre compagne, pour prouver que vous êtes bien ensemble.
Pour votre futur épouse :
Acte de naissance certifier DFA ( RED RIBON ) , certificat de non mariage au philippine ( Cenomar ) , justificatif de domicile ( barangay clearance ), carte d’identité avec photocopie ( carte ID ).
--
Ensuite, prendre rendez-vous à l’ambassade de MANILLA par téléphone.
Vous allez avoir un entretien à l’ambassade, vous et votre future épouse avec un employé de l’ambassade. Il va vous poser plusieurs questions concernant votre relation et ce que vous envisagé par la suite après le mariage ( Rien de bien méchant comme question. Mais il essais toujours de cassé le moral ) ne pas en tenir conte et répondre sincèrement.
Apres l’entretien a l’ambassade, votre demande de CCAM, seras envoyé à Nantes. Après à peu près 3 mois, votre CCAM arriveras à l’ambassade et vous recevrez vous seul et pas votre future épouse, un mail comme quoi vous pouvez venir le récupéré a l’ambassade. Votre compagne, peut le récupérer toute seule.
Pensé à prendre à l’ambassade, le papier à remplir pour la demande de transcription de mariage
Une fois le CCAM récupéré, on passe à l’étape du mariage
--
Le Mariage :
Allée tous les deux à la mairie ( City Hall ) pour récupérer le dossier a remplir pour la demande de mariage lors du dépôt de la demande de mariage, prendre avec vous, encore une fois tous les document cité si dessus comme pour l’ambassade et avant de déposé le dossier remplie, demandé à votre compagne qu’elle demande par internet un Cénomar pour vous ( et oui, il faut aussi prouvé que vous n’êtes pas déjà marié au philippine ).
Apres, avoir déposé votre dossier a la mairie ( city hall )
Il vas se passé 10 jours comme en France, ils vont publier les bans de mariage.
Pendant ces 10 jours, ils vont vous donner un rendez-vous pour un séminaire d’une demis journée ou d’une journée, ça dépend des maires. ( pas de quêtions, il faut juste être présent)
Pendant ces 10 jour, prendre rendez-vous avec un juge pour qu’il vous mari. C’est mieux de se marier avec un juge, sa vas plus vite et ça ne coute pas grand-chose. Moi j’ai dû payer 600 pesos. Donc juste après ces 10 jours, le mariage.
Merci pour cette réponse
Je vais entreprendre de nouveau les
démarches..mais ici
J attaquerai quand même ici pour faire stopper cette dérive de l'ambassade
Bonjour
Le cenomar et l acte de naissance certifiés sont valables 3 ou ( 6 mois comme ceux que j ai remis a lyon) pour la procedure a manille?
Merci
Yves
Bonjour Eric ! La question sur le CENOMAR me concernant et que ma futur femme doit demander sur internet ... ? Peux tu STP me donner des détails sur cette démarche ... ? Cordialement . Farid
le cenomar, c'est un papier qui prouve que ta future femme n'est pas marié au philippines. vous en aurai besoin pour la demande de ccam a l'ambassade. elle le demande sur internet, elle doit savoir se que c'est et sur quelle site allé. si elle ne s'est pas, renvois moi un message et je vais demandé a ma femme sur quel site allé.
le cenomar pour toi, c'est pareille que le siens. sa prouve que tu n'est pas marié au philippine. a demandé aussi sur le mème site que ta future épouse. ton cénomar tu n'en n'aura besoin juste pour le mariage et pas pour l'ambassade. car le ccam qu'il vont te délivré c'est la mème chose que le cénomar , sa prouve que tu n'ai pas marié en France ou un autre pays.
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?
