Thanks so much for your replies! With the Covid period, I think it's best to allow 6 months to get the CCAM.

In the meantime, I received an email from the consulate asking for a full copy of my passport (does that mean all pages, even the visa ones??) and those of my birth certificate. It's strange because I had attached these documents to the file.

Luckily, we planned a very flexible wedding date, so we won’t be held back by the extended delays.

One last question: is there an in-person appointment at the consulate in Lomé at any point during the process?

Thanks for your answers—it’s great to be able to exchange with people who know these realities!

Hi there,

Is anyone currently going through the process to obtain the "certificat de capacité à mariage" and have any updates on how the COVID crisis has extended processing times?

We submitted our application in early June and haven’t heard anything yet. The embassy’s website says not to send follow-up letters, so how can we check on our file’s status or find out if there are any hold-ups?

For those who’ve been through this step: how does the consulate get back in touch after you’ve sent your application? By mail? Email?

Are there any interviews with the consulate required?

Thanks for your help!
