Start the Nikah application

A religious Nikah service that can be conducted in person, fully online or as a hybrid ceremony when one or more participants are in different locations. The ceremony proceeds only after the required information has been verified.

ISCN Nikah is a religious service. It does not itself create a UK civil marriage. Payment does not guarantee acceptance, a certificate or a particular religious or civil outcome.

Flexible Ceremony Arrangements

In Person

The parties, Wali (marriage guardian) where applicable and witnesses attend at the agreed location.

Hybrid

One or more authorised participants join securely by video while others attend in person.

Fully Online

The parties and witnesses may join from different locations, subject to identity, presence, consent and ceremony checks.

ISCN coordinates the approved ceremony route and, after the ceremony and final controls, may issue a religious Nikah certificate from the United Kingdom.

What the Process May Include

  • Identity and eligibility document checks for every relevant participant.
  • Consent of both parties and an agreed Mahr (dower).
  • A Wali (marriage guardian) where applicable and two witnesses.
  • Evidence relating to any previous marriage or religious dissolution.
  • Locations, time zones, language and remote-attendance arrangements.
  • Ceremony arrangements after verification is complete.

The Civil Position

A Nikah performed by ISCN, whether in person or online, is religious. It does not automatically create a marriage recognised under UK civil law or replace any civil process required in another country. Couples should address civil registration separately.

Fees and Cancellation

The full standard Nikah fee is £350, whether the ceremony is in person, hybrid or fully online. The application calculates and collects the full fee, including any selected additions, so a separate payment request is not needed later.

  • Standard Nikah is £350 in person, hybrid or fully online. The venue does not change that fee.
  • ISCN-provided witnesses are £50 each: £350 with none, £400 with one and £450 with two.
  • A straightforward revert Wali request has no automatic extra fee. A complicated Wali assessment is £250 only if confirmed after review, and may be waived.
  • Notarisation: +£75. Same-day Nikah premium: +£150. Both are optional and counted in the Nikah total when selected.
  • Optional FCDO Apostille: +£150 and can take up to 3 weeks. ISCN does not offer embassy certification.

The approved cancellation terms explain when deductions may apply, including cancellation within 48 hours of the scheduled Nikah.

Optional Arabic translation — £30 per certificate. Where ISCN issues a religious certificate through this route, you may request an Arabic translation for an additional £30 for each certificate. This is a translation of the religious certificate. It is not a UK certified translation and does not create civil status, official recognition or guaranteed acceptance.
