Express Marriage
For couples marrying against a date that will not move. Abu Dhabi issues in one to two working days, Ras Al Khaimah in seven — but what decides whether you make it is the paperwork behind them, so that is where we start.
Express Marriage
Fast. And entirely official.
Choose Your Destination
Express is not a different marriage. It is a civil marriage in Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah on an earlier date — the same government certificate, with the same recognition. The two are not equally fast: Abu Dhabi issues in one to two working days, Ras Al Khaimah in seven. Either way, that count covers the appointment and the issuing once your documents are in order; a document that still has to be legalised in another country runs on its own clock. We tell you which of the two you are really waiting on before you book a flight.
The capital on a date you choose, and the fastest of the routes we arrange — the one to take when the date cannot move.
An hour north of Dubai, quieter, and usually the easier appointment to secure — a week rather than two days.

Eligibility and your document list are confirmed in the consultation. Where express is not realistic for your case, we say so before anything is booked rather than after.
Who Is This For
Express exists for one reason: a date that will not move. The eligibility is the civil one, with no shared passport needed. In Abu Dhabi the court marries couples of any faith, Muslim UAE citizens excepted, and asks for no residency; in Ras Al Khaimah both partners must be non-Muslim. What changes is only the pace.
A spouse visa, a residency file, a sponsor’s deadline. The certificate has to exist before the window closes.
You are in the Emirates for days, not weeks. The preparation happens before you land, so the appointment fits inside the trip.
A posting that starts next month, in a country that will only move the two of you as a married couple.
Relatives booked, a venue held. The legal marriage is settled first, and the celebration stays a celebration.
Insurance, medical consent, a spouse on record. Sometimes the paperwork is itself the reason to marry now.
Everything already legalised. Then nothing stands between you and an appointment — and express is simply the shortest way to one.

What's Included
One house holds the whole of it — the checking, the translation, the booking, the court and the attestation. That is the only reason an express timeline is possible at all.

Before we measure anything
We would like to understand how this site is used through Google, and to see whether our advertising leads anywhere. Until you say yes, Google stores nothing on your device and receives no information that identifies you. A simple visitor count runs either way; it sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device.
We measure how this site is used
Google Analytics is running from the moment you arrive, so we can see which pages are read and where people stop. It sets a cookie. You can switch it off here, or later under Cookie settings — and a cookieless visitor count runs either way.
What you are choosing
Google Analytics, which shows us which pages are read and where people stop, so we can fix what does not work. Aggregate numbers — we do not look up individuals. This switch governs it: off means it does not run. A cookieless count of page views continues either way.
Lets us see whether an advertisement led to an enquiry, and show our advertising to people who have visited before. Off means Google receives no advertising identifier from your visit and sets no advertising cookie.
Strictly necessary cookies are always on: they remember the security check on our forms and, on the private partner page, that you have entered the password. They are not used to track you.
