I and my American wife will be tying the knot very soon at the marriage registry, Ikoyi Lagos. I was informed of the documents needed from her for the registry. Due to the nature of her business, can she scan her passport data page, scan her passport photos and send to my email box to do the registration before her arrival or must she present with me for the registration? Thanks.

Yes u can. I did same in the absence of my husband. I got all the necessary documents and passport, told dem d day and time we intend getting married and it was registered. Then i was given a list of items to bring along on that day. On d day of d wedding, we were joined and given a certificate. Ours was in Delta state

You can do the research yourself, albeit here is the Nigerian Marriage Act.
