Where can we get Married?

[Cinca]

We are Australian and Canadian, working/living in Saudi Arabia. We want to get married, but our Embassies do not perform that service. We have been told to go to Bahrain, but when asked, no one seems to know where. The only place I've found on the internet is St. Cathedral. Are there other options we can look into? Many Thanks for any help!

i hope that helps

Thanks Dante, but we are Canadian and Australian, those Embassies can't help us. They only perform the service for their own.

Anybody who has obtained the banns from the UK can be issued the Letter of No Objection straightaway.

A statutory declaration will be signed in front of the Vice Consul. The Notice of Marriage will be displayed on the Consular notice board for 21 days after which they will be stamped “no impediment shown”.

* For marriages in the House of Judgement, a Letter of No Objection will be issued in addition.
