How much can cost me?

Dear [Name], Good morning, and thank you for your message. We would be pleased to assist you with your intended civil marriage in Nigeria. In Nigeria, a statutory (civil) marriage is conducted at the Federal Marriage Registry or a licensed Local Government Registry. The official government fees are relatively modest; however, the total cost depends on documentation requirements, notice period, affidavit preparation, and legal support. Estimated Costs (including our professional assistance): Government registry fees Documentation preparation and affidavits Legal advisory and coordination Presence and representation (if required). The total professional package typically ranges between ₦500,000 – ₦700,000, depending on the registry and the level of assistance required. Timeline: By law, there is a mandatory 21-day notice period after filing the Notice of Marriage before the marriage can be solemnized. If you are visiting Nigeria for only two weeks in June, we would need to begin the notice process in advance (before your arrival) to ensure completion within your stay. Next Steps: Kindly confirm: 1) Your intended date of arrival in June 2) Whether you have valid international passports 3) Whether either of you has been previously married. Once confirmed, we will outline the exact process and documentation required. We look forward to assisting you. Kind regards, Buba Partners
