Mcfemad: Hello,
I need to know the requirements, process and cost implications of getting married at the Federal Marriage Registry, Ikoyi. Comprehensive information given here would be highly appreciated. Kindly please help.
Thank you,
Regards!

OYINBOGOJU: Regular registration at least 2 weeks interval 35000naira

If you want your wedding to be done in 2 days after registration 55000naira

The requirements are not special

They don't allow customer to take out form, so be ready to get it, fill it and submit it same day in the same office.

The staff will request for some kind of gift,monetary or good wines of different taste, sometimes extra cash during your interview time,if not they will delay you.

Yeah just little i could remember now.

Be-careful of those guys taking pictures, they are selfish and rogue, better you go there with your photographer,if not they will delete all picture taken during wedding if you don't pay them very fast.

What More?

After filling the forms in court then you submit them same day and wait for 21 working days(display of couple info in notice-board). They would calculate the waiting period and then give you your prefered date to come for oath taking. Oath taking is N6k. Then after that you would then choose your wedding date weekdays cheaper than saturdays which is N2k(weekday)/N5k(weekend ie saturday).
On the wedding day you would be asked to either bring a carton of fruitjuice or pay N4k/N5K as the case might be! Try to sweet mouth them and dont show off too much if you don wana be ripped off . Also, make sure you bring change on wedding day for offering/celebration for court officials N100/N200 notes will do. DO NOT patronize the photographers they charge so much bring your small camera and a friend can assist with the pics as they do not allow professional photographers/video men. No point for all these flambouyance if you will still do a white wedding. Flower/bouquest and pin ups will be brandished for you to rent at exhorbitant rates(irrelevant too).
The above are the basics i can remember!However, if you dont wana wait for 21 working days (notification) then they will charge you for shortcut max-max N15K!! Ask of Oga Mike his office is inside after their small chapel looking-oath taking space! I cant put his phone number here... goodluck

sub_zidi: @ OYINBOGOJU: They charged soooo much unless you are not Nigerian or one of you not We didnt pay more than N10,000 for ours and this was just last year!

Reddit:
Please can anyone help me with the current requirements and cost of arranging a court wedding at the Ikoyi Registry. I'll be coming over to Nigeria very soon for this reason. My fiancee is back home in Nigeria and we intend to do the court marriage first before the the trad and white wedding later in the year.
Also, would it be wise to get rings for the court wedding knowing they're still required for the white.

I'm just trying to get all the necessary information as possible and plan very well.

Thanks.
