We've Been Married For Years. How Do We Get A Marriage Certificate by DivergentThinka(m): 3:33pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
Hello everyone. My spouse and I have been married for years, but we only did it traditionally and in the church . Does anyone please know how we can obtain a marriage certificate(legally) without actually going through the process of a court wedding ? We would be needing it for international passport . Thanks, I would really appreciate your responses. |

DivergentThinka:Here is a link to the Ministry of Interior's website on how to go about it.

Nbote: Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I have gone through the site before, but some things are not clear . The goal is to obtain the certificate, or some sort of certification without having to go through the process of doing the "court wedding" . Am I correct to assume that on the website, this is what's called "ATTESTATION OF MARITAL STATUS" . If it is, do you have any idea what documents would be given ? . A certificate ? Thank you again . |

You will still have to go to court. You can't have original marriage certificate without court. Go there and explain to them. It can be at least 4 ppl that will attend the court. U, ur spouse and 2 other ppl to sign for you. I did the same thing. No paparazzi, no dancing, no snapping. Just sign and collect the certificate. We spent less than 10 minutes. 1 Like |

Okikiola914: Thank you for your honest feedback . I am just curious if there is any form of other document I can use to represent evidence of marriage, for international passport, its kind of urgent . If I have to go the marriage court route, the entire process would take at least a month. I know this section of Nairaland, is filled with married people. I am confident this issue isn't peculiar to me, someone here might have had this issue and solved it . I would really appreciate if anyone who has faced something similar can recommend the best approach, especially with the urgency. |

DivergentThinka:If your marriage was never registered before now then it is as though you were never married to begin with. |

Kobojunkie: Don't confidently talk about what you don't know about. Customary Law marriage is a valid form of marriage. 1 Like |

candyguyofficia:Well, what OP has is customary marriage agreement and is now looking for something more official. Go argue your claims with him instead. |
