Can you please tell me what I need as in documents for a court wedding in Nigeria, if I am marrying an EU citizen, what documents would we both need and how much can it cost

i think u should contact the Civil Registry office for information.normally they dont usually ask for alot of documents
e.g
passport
Residential address details
2 passport photographys
spinsterhood certificate, divorce or dealth cert.
fee
2 catton of five alive etc

Well I got married in Abuja. I didnt need anything, only my passport. But there is a charge of like 21,000N or somethign like that, my husband paid that amount or either 12,000 cant remember exactly. I brought along my divorce cert and they didn't even ask for it!!!!

i think the five alive thing ,is just added by them to celebrate ur wedding and all registry office dont request for that ,as for the date ,u can pay express and get married within  a day or 2, normally it can take a  week , 2 or even less.
i don't think they have website,u can ask one of ur family members back home to get the info for u and there phone number etc

@Poster,

Out of interest why getting married in Nigeria when it can sorted here in Europe ?

Well in Nigeria you need to do it at the Registry in Ikoyi(reason they are the first point of call for foreign embassies i.e visa purposes).Otherwise experience will be your teacher.

Nigerian Passport holder:
1.Bachelorhood/single hood certificate(court Affidavit)
2.2 Passport Photograph

Non Nigeria Passport Holder:
1.National Passport
2.2 Passport photograph
3.Spinterhood/single hood certificate(court Affidavit)

*Notice will be place for some weeks/days,waiver is possible but for fee.
*1 Witness each
*Tuesday available for waivers.
Note:Spinter/bachelor=Never get pikin b4
         Single=don get pikin b4
