Can A Single Lady Officially Change Her Name In Nigeria? by yeyebrity: 8:05am On Oct 31, 2019
Hey peeps! Please, I would like to know how possible it is for a single lady to officially change her name in Nigeria. What I mean is, changing your first and last names without being married.

I did a quick google search and part of the requirements is a marriage certificate. The question is, is it possible to take a completely different name without being married? Your contributions will be deeply appreciated. Regards.

Yes. Anyone can change a name without even giving any one reasons why such a lady needs to effect such a change. Head to the nearest court within an hour he process should be done and dusted

Very very possible. All you need is a court affidavit/change of name and a publication in one of the national dailies.

As a single lady or guy, you have your reasons to change your name as you wishes

Marriage is not the only reason to change name

But bear in mind that you already have a certificate that bears a name you want to change

Whatever your reasons is what you have to defend anything it comes up
