I want to enquire about civil wedding in the uae

Civil weddings in the UAE are governed by Federal Decree Law No. 41 of 2022, which allows non-Muslim residents to marry under either their home country’s laws or UAE-specific regulations. To initiate a civil marriage, couples must meet these requirements:
– Both parties must not be Muslim UAE nationals.
– Both parties must consent and be at least 18 years old.
– They should not be closely related or currently married to someone else.
The process includes submitting an application via the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) website or typing centers. Required documents are:
– Completed marriage application form.
– Copies of passports or Emirates IDs.
– Proof of divorce if previously married (if applicable).
Ceremonies can be scheduled within ten days for AED 300 or expedited within one day for AED 2,500. After the ceremony, couples should consider attesting their marriage certificate through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international recognition.
