Online application and the marriage ceremony are separate stages. Check the current ADJD conditions for the couple’s circumstances before making travel or remote-ceremony plans.
What to know
An Abu Dhabi civil marriage request can be prepared and submitted online. ADJD’s current service requirements permit a video ceremony where all parties are UAE residents; non-resident applicants must travel to Abu Dhabi for the ceremony.
Eligibility is checked under the applicable Abu Dhabi civil-marriage rules. Do not assume the service is restricted to two non-Muslim foreign nationals or that every applicant qualifies for the remote ceremony. Recognition outside the UAE should be checked with the relevant embassy or receiving authority.
