Getting married abroad can be an exciting experience — but it can also get complicated. Frequently, getting hitched in another country means submitting official documents to local authorities to ensure your marriage is legal. One of these documents is referred to as a "certificate of no impediment," or "CNI," and it simply states that you are legally allowed to get married in your home country.
