Certifying copies of original documents

Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage
The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MFAIC) advises they will not issue approval for marriages between a foreign man and a Cambodian woman where the foreigner does not earn at least USD2,500 per month. We recommend contacting MFAIC before requesting a CNI if these conditions apply to your circumstances. We are also aware of reports the Ministry of Interior (MoI) continues to enforce a previous policy prohibiting marriages between foreign men aged 50 and older to Cambodian women aged under 50. You should contact the MoI if this applies to your circumstances.
Letters of No Objection
The Embassy will not provide Letters of No Objection on behalf of the Australian Government.
