Guys, I need information about this Ikoyi registry things please. I have applied online, paid and got dates for counseling and for the collection of the certificate, by December 10/12 respectively. But I like to be sure whether there's nothing left undone, as I didn't involve any agent or any insider in Ikoyi registry.

Your reply will be much appreciated.

How did it go ? Any idea if oath can be only taken on Tuesday ?

Hello everyone,
I'm going to get married in Nigeria in January, I'm a foreigner, so we are trying to apply for "Special Marriage". Currently I hold all the documents required, but they are written in my native language (Slovak). I'm receiving conflicting advices on whether this documents needs to be only translated to english trough official translator or do I have to get higher degree of verification - Superlegalization trough ministry of foreign affairs and embassy.
All documents are originals.

Anyone with some experience could advise ? or could you ask friend who married foreigner ?

I can't find any information online, and I don't want to get stuck on paperwork once I come to Nigeria.

Thank you

So at the moment, I have decided to go for superlegalisation, as I can't get straight answer from anyone. I will post an update in 2 months how it went. Additional thing I discovered is that "legalisation" is a word thrown around, which seems to be a synonym to superlegalisation in most of countries. To me it doesn't make sense as for me, all documents are "legal" status, so why do I need to "legalise" it ?

Lastly, in my last chat exchange with registry, they mentioned apostille, how does it work in Nigeria without Hague treaty, I have no idea. Maybe someone can explain. In my country apostille is "simpler" alternative to superlegalisation, but Its only for countries with treaty.

Abuja, last year. I could not get outside of Airport without going trough 2 officers at the exit, they asked for my papers, and stupid me opened my wallet, once they seen money there, they asked to give them something or they open my baggage and take some stuff. Next day on follow-up flight, they told me "liquids are forbidden" in checked baggage, cost me 10 dollars, and then it was OK.
Normally I would dispute, but I was carrying some gifts I did not want to damage.

Offer letter requires you to respond, accepting the offer. Then you get an employment contract stating your hours of work, pay rate and probation period and others. In most case, you will have all the information already on the offer letter but you need an employment letter or reference letter from work for visa purposes.

Thank you so much for response. Indeed all the information was already included in in Offer Letter, however employer of my friend is pretending there is no "Employment Contract"/"Employment Letter" and that there is nothing they can do ("Reference Letter"/"Employment Confirmation" ). Which makes me feel like they are trying to hide something.
(For example officially they allow only 5 vacation days a year which is less than federal minimum I think)

What you said makes sense, but was giving them benefit of the doubt as I'm not local and there is only limited amount of resources for me online.

My friend is attempting to get tourist Visa to a Schengen country, one of the requirements is proof of employment.
He have tried with Offer Letter but it got rejected, when asked at workplace nobody seems to have Employment Contract either.
When asked directly his boss, he is being told that there is only offer letter.

Are they trying to gaslight him or is it common practice to only get an offer letter ?

Work is long term, full time, already there for 2 years +
Thanks
