ernestleon:
if you take it there yourself,the 25k will probably be enough + tip inclusive...but wait how many documents do you really want to certify? If its more than one then the price wont be just 25k o..

I want to certify...police certificate, marriage cert, and birth cert

ernestleon:
sorry im not in nija at the moment.To certify your documents wont cost you much roughly 25,000k or less if you go there yourself..As for the link,go to any high court you will find agents that take documents to abuja for legalization.
NOTE: it may take 2-3 weeks,a lawyer will be sent to investigate the authenticity of the documents before it will be certified.

@ernestleon...
you mean 2-3 weeks for the abuja whala..but i read here that one could do it in same day in abuja and pick it up few days later with tips...what do you think ...is that correct.... 25,000K for tips in Abuja?

Hi all, could anyone share with me about the idea of using a lawyer to handle document legalization in lagos with the italian embassy..no visa needed just to legalize the marriage cert, Birth cert, and the Police report...i need it and i am outside the country...any ideas or recommendation and if you have any reputable lawyer could you pls share with the house as well....cheers guys...

ernestleon:
110k is the required fee for a person 150k for two...I hope you know that you will have to translate the documents to italian after the abuja wahala.As for the lawyer,he will be going to the address presented on the documents or affidavits.And yes its possible to know their lawyers different zone different lawyer.If you meet those security guards they could help you with that.

rubenic: PROCEDURES FOR THE LEGALISATION OF NIGERIAN DOCUMENTS



The documents must be previously translated into Italian. The translation can be done by the one of Consulate General’s entrusted translators:



- Miss Maria Mazzoli - Miss Annalisa Meccariello, 0806-7279958

- Miss Carla Guidotti, 0805-9588085

- Mrs Zita Andreolli Folarin, 2 King’s Way Road, Falomo Ikoyi, Lagos, Giwa Shopping Complex, Suite B 47

Tel. 08033227303 or 08024438573



Before being legalised, the documents will be subject to verification by the Consulate’s appointed lawyer who will confirm their authenticity with the offices of the Registrar who first issued them. All applicants must bring to the Consular Office the application form for the payment of these legal expenses. Once the payment has been made the documents will be sent to the lawyer to be verified.

To request the legalisation of a document the following will be required:
The original receipt, plus a photocopy, of the payment for the legal expenses;
A photocopy of the applicant’s passport or Permit of Stay (Permesso di Soggiorno) if he/she is resident in Italy;
The documents presented should be relevant to one person (documents relevant to several people will be accepted only where they form part of the same family unit);
The cost to legalise each document presented is approximately 3.805 Naira

All the documentation must be presented in original plus a photocopy.

Note:

- The documents can be collected 6 to 7 weeks after they have been submitted. Such a period is necessary to allow the verification of the documents in the applicants’ state of origin;

- The applicant will be given a receipt showing the expected date on which the documents can be collected;

- Documents cannot be collected without a receipt;

- Every day the Consular Office will put up a list at the main gate showing the names of all those who will be entitled to enter the Consulate in order to collect their documents. Only those people whose names appear on the list will be permitted to enter the building.

Hi All, I am an italian cititten. My husband is a nigerian. he is living legally in germany he has a residence permit. When he got is visa, i came to nigeria briefly and we got married at the registry in lagos, in 2008.But i had to leave the following day due to family emergency (i lost my mother). Now, i want to move back to italy and he wants to apply for citizenship but i need to legalize the marriage certificate. My questions is: how can i verify if the marriage certificate he brought from nigeria in 2008 is original since i left so quickly after the marriage. I just want to be sure before i proceed with the application with him because the itlaian embassy will check. is there a way i can verify by myself before i agree to proceed with it.
