Applicants are required to register on the GRO website and will need a debit or credit card to complete the process.
Fees for Different Application Types
Where an applicant does not have a GRO index reference number, an additional search fee of £3.50 (approximately N6,700) applies per search.
Extra copies of any certificate are charged at the same rate as the original.
How to Apply for a Marriage Certificate
Applications can be made through the GRO's online portal, by telephone, by post, or directly from the local register office where the marriage was originally registered.
It is worth noting that the certificate fees and application process described here apply specifically to England and Wales. Separate processes exist for obtaining certificates in Scotland and in Northern Ireland.
