kenny987: This is completely false. It is actually easier for a "mushroom" church to give a recognized marriage certificate than the big churches. Don't mislead people. The fact that Adeboye, for instance, registered his church doesn't mean other RCCG churches spread around the country are "registered or licensed to conduct marriages." The more branches and priests you have, the more complicated as they can't do any form of licensing without the approval of the head/GO. If a Catholic Church in Wuse is licenced by the Ministry of Interior and the Catholic Church in Kubwa is not, if you conduct your wedding in Kubwa, then your certificate is null and void. It is useless, according to the law. No law covers any "religious brand" - whether Anglican, Catholic or Pentecostal. 1 Like |

chioma134: what you need to understand is what is licenced marriage officer, these are usually priests/pastor that are licenced by the government conduct marriages in their respective churches and if one is licenced it means, they can conduct both a registered marriage and simple church one (according to the church doctrine) If the pastor/priest is not licenced, they can only conduct their church doctrine one only and it wont be legally registered. Meaning law doesnt take you as legal married people but only religion and tradition does So what you need to ask your pastor is, is licenced by the government to conduct legal marriage? The confusion on most people how we view weddings, if you do a traditional wedding it means you are married as per culture and tradition, people take you as married people but law would say your marriage is not registered The same with church wedding if the pastor is not licenced, it means the marriage is per church doctrine and tradition but the marriage is not registered as per law (under Marriage Act in most countries) |

I have a question please.. I got married last year in a Baptist church. The church is registered and the certificate we go is from the ministry of Interior. The issue i have now is that my best man and best lady both have their names and signatures on the witness section of my marriage certificate. Which i feel is normal. But when we asked, we were told it will be rejected at any foreign embassy, that only our names should be on the certificate. Can anyone please provide me with adequate information? for the married ones, is the name and signature of your best man and best lady your court marriage certificate? What can be done if truly it will not be accepted by any foreign embassy? |

Please I got married at the living faith church in year 2013, we didn't observe the 21 days notice of the u, though we were issued form e certificate but we were not asked to go submit a copy back to the registry. Please do I still need to conduct a proper court marriage? |

If you want your marriage to be recognized by Nigerian Law. Do a Court/Registry marriage. If you want to keep your marriage simple. Customary/Sharia Court still gat your back when issues arise. Married or not. If you want your partner to take responsibility of his/her offspring, go to court with prove of fatherhood/motherhood. We have Human Rights and Child Rights lawyers everywhere. Some activists nko? Dem dey Religion and Government are on two parallel lines. Where is OnionBandit 2 Likes |

OP.. You don't need another court marriage...Your church gave you their marriage certificate and also issued you Federal republic of Nigeria Marriage certificate right?... If you haven't collected your government marriage certificate proceed to the LGA where your church is registered to collect it... Though ask your catechist or Reverend. |
