Hi, I know this post has not been active for a while but I will give it a try. I am trying to get married (we are both foreigners) here in Cambodia and it would be nice to hear if someone has succeeded recently;
Thanks!

1. Go to your respective embassies and obtain certificates of no impediment.
2. Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (behind Naga) and fill out the form requesting permission to marry in Cambodia. If you want to do it all in one visit to the ministry, then you will need to take:
a) The correct medical certificate from Pasteur. A simple check for HIV, TB, STDs, etc. If you don't want to bother with the medical certificates required, then the clerk can cover them for you (print some) for $20 each (neg) at the ministry.
b) 6 passport size photos each.
c) $100 for the clerk's boss to sign off on the papers. (less than 24 hours turnaround)
d) Both of your CNI certificates (originals) plus several photocopies of each.
In return for your cash, you will be given a signed, sealed, and stamped certificate printed on bright yellow paper, this is your permission to marry in Cambodia.
Next, take your CNI originals and a Khmer translation of each (plus copies of all), your spanking new permission letter (plus copies), and your good selves to your local Sangat office. There, after much chuckling, you will be asked a series of background questions for their registry book, then you need to thumbprint sign said registry. This must all be done in the presence of 2 witnesses. Take some cash.
That's it, finished, you are now legally married.
Contact your embassies and register the marriage, choose a spot for the church service to keep the ladies happy and good luck to you both.

Given the advice here is from my marriage in 2007 and Dengchao's in 2012, those procedures are most likely completely out of date by now.
Best ask your embassy for advice.
If you're determined to try, here's the paperwork you're aiming towards; this is from my wedding here. Show this to the officials and hopefully they'll know where you're headed and what you want... that's what Dengchao did.
