Go marry you spouse legally in the registry and correct the birth date there..I doubt even if they accept Church Marriage certificate in any foreign embassy..when I was processing my wife visa they only ask for the legal marriage certificate we had from registry..even the Church certificate can't even find it again
Seems like it's of no use.

No embassy recognises church wedding certificate. You will need a marriage certificate from the registry or court!

This information is not correct. Please, desist from sharing it any longer. Before you get married in church, ask if the church have been licensed for marriage. Most Orthodox churches are and they issue Federal Government certificate of marriage to you, which is admissible in every and any embassy in the world. Infact, if you get a certificate in a registry, NO Anglican clergy should/will join you in marriage again because you are already married under the same law, and we can't issue two same certificates. We can only bless such marriage.

Thank you

Some church are given the authority to use that of the court. Maybe, it's the case here.

Go to a marriage registry and do well go get married under the Act. If you have done so already, then use that one in place of the other church marriage certificate. Please do well to make sure the changes are reflected in the new one.

You can contact me for further clarifications.

Is either wrong age on passport, WAEC Certificate or Marriage certificate………more reason most foreigners don’t believe Nigerian man or woman’s age.

We have Visa age, employment age and football age

I don't think any embassy recognizes church marriage certificate. Go to the registry and get one. This should suffice.

Go get a marriage certificate from the registry. That is the only officially recognized certificate!

Why will the church be that adamant? I hope they are not seeking bribe in any way? Because I don't understand people and institutions in Nigeria these days.

Go to court, get an affidavit declaring that a human error was made during the process of data entry into the marriage certificate. The most recognized documents for date of birth in Nigeria are your NPC declaration of age OR NPC birth certificate (if born after 1991), and national ID. All other documents including your international passport, driver's license, permanent voter's card and even marriage certificate rely on the information in the first 2 documents in bold.

Take these documents to them in the church and apply for a re-issuance of marriage certificate. Go along with that affidavit. If they still deny you, write to them and let them reply you with their letter head. Attach their response, together with your affidavit and other documents when submitting at the required visa office.

Shalom!

You made the mistake on the document since and u made no complain. How will the Church believe you are telling the truth about your 'mistake' if you are just complaining about it how many days after the certificate was given to you? From your post, the mistake never mattered to u except for the fact that it's becoming a problem to your plan of traveling abroad. You may have even made another mistake by telling them why you need it changed, raising more suspicion. What you wrote is hard to believe it was a mistake.

. Is your husband in Nigeria? Can you show me the copy of the certificate to know if it is even acceptable. Many church certificates are fake initially.Then I can advice you on what to do next!
