Hello Guys

I need a clarification. Can all marriage registries in Nigeria process wedding certificate that will be internationally recognized. I got different opinions guys. Some people are saying that the wedding certificate from Ikoyi is the only international recognized certificate fit for immigration while other parties are saying that all registries are now internationally recognized.

I want to process Canadian spousal sponsorship and my wedding is suppose to hold outside Lagos, must i do registry documentation in Ikoyi or can do it in any registry close to my location outside Lagos. I was told that verification by embassies are now done online.

I need help on this.
Thank you guys!

Not only Ikoyi, any Federal Marriage Registry will do.

Just make sure it's not a local government registry but a Federal one.

They are the Federal Marriage Registries in Ikoyi, Lagos State; Abuja, Federal Capital Territory; Benin, Edo State; Owerri, Imo State; Port Harcourt, Rivers State; Kano, Kano State; Jos, Plateau State, Enugu, Enugu; Kaduna, Kaduna; Ibadan, Oyo State; Ikeja, Lagos State, and Makurdi, Benue State.

Marriage is marriage whether at federal or local registry. The onus is on you to proof that you guys are truly married. I know of someone that used marriage certificate from ikoyi & the VO doubted the genuineness of the marriage. A friend used oredo local govt registry in benin city & there were no problems with his application. You can submit wedding pictures, flight tickets, entry & exit stamps along with the marriage certificate to show that the spouse was actually in Nigeria for the marriage
