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!
Franco-Togolese marriage
by Occeola
Translated into English.
In our case, we got it after 2 months, which is why I was pretty confident about the transcription timeline.
Yes, for the transcription it’ll be faster, not for the visa. We got married without a CCM. After that, in France it’s the "offi" (civil registry). But the main thing is being together.
In short, every case is different! I got the CCM after three and a half months. Everyone says transcription is faster, but so far that hasn’t been the case for me.
For the visa, in theory it’s a one-week wait, but from what I’ve read from others, it can take much longer! 😅
With us, we got it after 2 months, which is why I was pretty confident about the transcription timeline.

Yes, every case is different. But you’ll make it—you’ll be together in a few months. Which city in France are you from?
I live near Le Mans. Sorry to bother you, but I have one last question. Is the long-stay visa issued a 3-month visa that requires applying for a residence permit upon arrival, or is it a 1-year visa that serves as a residence permit?
The visa is equivalent to a one-year residence permit. On my mother’s side, we’re from Sarthe.
Hi everyone,
Every case is different, but there’s always at least one *super* long document to get
For me, I applied for the CCAM at the end of December and got it in mid-April (so three and a half months).
We were starting to stress, but we managed to get married in May.
The transcription request was sent at the end of May, but over three months later, we still haven’t heard anything... and then there’s the visa to deal with after that.
I’m starting to worry we won’t be able to spend the holidays together at the end of the year.
It’s crazy what an obstacle course you have to go through just to live together...
Hang in there, everyone! !
Hang in there, everyone! !
Good evening,
I have exactly the same timeline. CCM in mid-April after three and a half months. Wedding in May. Transcription filing in May. Still waiting.
I’m also wondering how the family record book will be issued.
Hello everyone, Indeed, every case is different, but there’s always at least one *long* document to obtain For my part, I requested the CCM at the end of December and received it in mid-April (so three and a half months).

Thanks for all the info, Paag!
Hope things clear up quickly for all of you!

Hello,
I just received the acknowledgment of receipt for my transcription request, but it’s completely blank—no writing, signatures, or stamps. The only things filled in are the sender and recipient names, which I had entered myself when sending it. Was it the same for you?

Hi there. I didn’t even get an acknowledgment of receipt. And the consulate doesn’t answer phone calls or emails. Don’t worry, it’ll work out in time.
Good evening,
Have you had any news regarding the transcription?
Was your file submission in July, right? Mine was in May. I already followed up in September, but I still haven’t heard anything yet.
Yeah, that’s exactly it, and that’s what’s driving me crazy. When I see how long it’s taking for you, I realize I’m really not close to seeing my wife again.
Hi,
I got back from Togo yesterday at noon and got some fresh updates at the Consulate.
Personally, I sent my transcription request at the end of May and had to send additional documents in July.
According to the person I met at the consulate in early October, the normal processing time is 4 months.
For me, it's been a little over four months, and she assured me the file was complete. All that was left was to finalize the paperwork and send it.
The only way I found to get a response was to go see them in person or send *a lot* of emails to the Consulate’s address...
Hang in there, everyone! We’ll get there eventually!!!!

Good evening,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, the timeline is 4 to 6 months, so technically we're still within the window, but still.
Okay, I'll start by sending some emails. I already emailed the person who gave me the CCM directly, but no luck.
I'm not gonna pay for a trip just to talk to them. I have a friend going there at the end of October—do you think she could ask around for me? Though I doubt they’ll give her the time of day.
How’s the current situation in Lomé these days?
How’s the current situation in Lomé these days?
In my opinion, if you don’t go in person, they’ll brush off your friend...
For the situation in Lomé, it seems to be getting more intense. During the last protest, there was a lot of damage (paving stones thrown in the streets) and the main roads were impassable.
In a relatively quiet neighborhood (Adewi), I saw someone really agitated who was ready to jump on any motorbikes to stop them from passing. At the Grand Marché, everyone was so scared that almost all the shops were closed (I’d never seen that before!). A friend who lives in the La Colombe district told me it was even worse there: they’re throwing tear gas into people’s homes to force them outside and march with them.
So basically, if you’re in a tense neighborhood on protest day, it’s better to leave Lomé. If you’re in a slightly calmer area, stay home and don’t go out if you can’t leave the city.
I spoke to my wife on the phone this morning—apparently, there’s another unauthorized protest today and tomorrow. This time, the army has been deployed in the city.

Hi,
Yes, my husband told me about this week’s march. The army handled it with batons and tear gas... He’s in a northern neighborhood that’s relatively spared from the protests by luck, but things are definitely heating up across Lomé. About the transcription, I tried calling the consulate yesterday—what a joke hearing their voicemail: "We don’t provide any information over the phone. If you’d like updates on a file’s progress, please send an email."... Anyway, we’re just patiently waiting, I guess.. !

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: 1. That I am a citizen of India 2. That I was born in (place of birth) on the (date of birth) 3. That I am holding a valid Indian passport bearing the number (passport number) issued at (place of issue) and valid from (date of issue) to (date of expiry). 4. That I am unmarried (single) and have no living spouse at present either in India or abroad 5. That I am eligible to marry an Indian or a person of any other nationality according to law. 6. That I am of sound health and in mentally fit condition 7. I further state that whatever stated therein is correct to the best of my knowledge.
I am aware that suppression of facts or furnishing false/misleading information is punishable under Indian law, under section 193(2), 199, 200 of the Indian Penal Code.
Solemnly declared at (place of signature) on (date of signature).

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?
Hi everyone,
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.
Thanks

Hi, I'd like to know how long it takes for the Cameroon embassy (Yaoundé) to send the acknowledgment of receipt after receiving the application?
Hi there,
Hopefully I can find some answers here!
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?
Thanks!
