Probably around 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the officiant.

If you want to make it go quicker you could have him talk faster.

We were married in Casablanca in just under 2 wks. I scanned & sent all the documents over so that they could be translated in advance. And we went straight from the airport to the consulate on the day I arrived, got the papers needed from them to be translated and then went directly to translator & got all necessary translated documents on the first day. Other than that & "tipping" the right people generously I don't know that there's anything else to do to rush the process.

If you're the Moroccan, you should be learning there, IN MOROCCO, everything that needs to be done to get married in your city. You should know the procedure and find out what will make it go faster there.

As for the documents, no I didn't send originals. I brought originals with me, and the translator verified his translations against the originals when we were there in his office.
