Certificate Of Marriage

[Akin Michael 12]

I was scheduled for interview in July, but my wife couldn't find our marriage certificate(still searching for it though), can I go with a scanned copy? Hope it's acceptable? I need urgent responses to this. US-Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria.

No.  Consulates want originals...not photocopies which can be easily faked...especially in high fraud countries.

She needs to find it or order a new one from the issuing authority.  You will absolutely need an original for the visa interview.

I paid 30k. If u go with photocopy of the original MC, u don't need anything except to write a authorization letter requesting for the true copy. Thanks. Good luck

When u get there they will give you a template of the letter. Don't go to those rats/touts outside o. Go inside office. Ask for true certified copy office.
