How much does a nikah Nama cost?

Short answer

The cost of a nikah Nama varies widely, so there is no fixed price. It depends on the design, printing and whether you buy it from a mosque, an Islamic centre or a stationer.

A nikah Nama is the marriage certificate used in Islamic weddings. In the UK, there is no standard price. Some mosques provide a simple nikah Nama as part of the ceremony fee. Others may charge a small amount for the document itself. If you buy a decorative or personalised nikah Nama from a stationer or online, the cost will be higher, depending on the design, paper quality and printing.

Because prices are not fixed and can change, it is best to ask directly. Contact your mosque or Islamic centre to find out whether a nikah Nama is included in their fee or available separately. If you want a custom design, compare a few options and check what is included, such as calligraphy, your names and the date.

Remember that the nikah Nama is separate from the legal marriage certificate. For the legal side, you need a marriage schedule or document from the registrar. The nikah Nama is a religious record, not a legal one, unless the nikah takes place in a registered building with an authorised person present. For legal costs, the rules can vary, so check GOV.UK or your local register office for current fees and requirements.
