Change Of Name Due To Marital Status. by Omobalo67: 3:36pm On Jan 22
Hello Nairalanders,

Is there any Nigerian law that mandates a married woman to change her surname to reflect her Marital Status to a man?

And can she by any means choose to retain her fathers name for official purposes after marriage?

It is optional but every choice has a consequence.

What was the discussion between the couple before marriage on this? If there is a conclusion, it should be followed otherwise, they can discuss it and reach a conclusion of their choice.

I want to learn too because my wife have been claiming too busy to change hers. And I am only observing. I will soon change it for her. Order for a refund of my bride price and update my status back to single.... Then japa.

My own question about it is how does one go about NiN, BVN and passport book bearing your old name, after change of name.
Should one just get a new identity for them all I.e. New NIN, new BVN, New Passport??
