Certificates typically require approximately 2–3 weeks for delivery to destinations in the United States or Canada after production. To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend placing your order at least 1–2 months in advance or earlier if possible. Shipments to other countries may take up to 30 business days, however, expedited shipping options are available at check-out. If you’d like to skip shipping, you can also pick up your order directly from our studio in the Greater Toronto Area.

Your contract will be prepared within 4–5 business days (or 5–6 business days for folder sets) before being dispatched to the shipping carrier. Pick-up orders are ready within 4 business days. Please refer to the product page to view the estimated dispatch date for the current week before placing your order, and proceed to checkout to view available shipping options. For more detailed information, visit our Production & Shipping page.

Customizations & Production Time: Any additional customizations, such as a couple’s crest, color changes, or text changes, require extra production time. After placing your order, you will receive an email preview within 5 business days. After you approve the final design, your certificate will take 5 more business days to be created before it is dispatched. Please note that if you take longer to approve the preview or request further changes after seeing it, the production and shipping timeline may be extended.

If your nikah date is time sensitive or you need your certificate early, please contact us before placing an order. We can provide expedited shipping options.

Please note that Raeesa Studio cannot guarantee expedited processing for orders unless we have been contacted in advance with the required date.

Yes. Raeesa Studio nikah certificates hold Islamic validity as Muslim marriage contracts provided that the Mahr is stated on the certificate. You have the flexibility to personalize the Mahr directly on our website once you have selected your preferred design.

It is entirely up to you whether or not you wish to include the Mahr on the certificate. Opting to keep the certificate as a cherished keepsake without the Mahr is also a viable choice.

Raeesa Studio nikah contracts have been evaluated by recognized marriage officiants in Canada. These certificates have been signed by numerous couples worldwide, including those in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and various European and Asian countries, at their nikah ceremonies.

It is important to note that while our nikah certificates hold Islamic validity as Muslim marriage contracts, they do not serve as official government documents. It remains your responsibility to complete the official registration of your marriage with the appropriate local government authorities.

Mahr/Mehr is a gift or amount the groom must give to bride during the nikah process.

Your nikah certificate is valid if the Mahr is included, but you can opt to leave it out and use the certificate as a keepsake instead.

View our certificate text here. Raeesa Studio nikah certificate texts have been approved by Islamic scholars and are applicable to all sects. All certificates include hand-composed Arabic calligraphy of the basmala with Surah Ar-Rum and translation at the top.

You can request for changes to the text, on the “text changes” section on the order form after choosing a design.

We will only send a text preview if you specifically request it when placing your order. To request a preview, please write “send me a preview” in the notes section of the order form. Text previews are also automatically provided if you choose an extra customization such as text changes, color changes, or a couple’s crest, or select a non-English language text.

If you do not request a preview, we will proceed directly with your order and dispatch it as quickly as possible, using the information you submitted on your order form. For the fastest dispatch, we recommend not requesting a preview.

Standard preview requests will be sent via email within 1–2 business days. Orders with extra customization will receive a preview within 3–5 business days. If further edits are requested after the initial preview, a revised preview will be sent within 1–2 business days. Once you approve the final text, please allow 5 business days for us to create your certificate before it is dispatched for shipping.

Important: Requesting a preview may extend the production timeline, especially if multiple edits are needed or if there is a delay in your approval. It is your responsibility to respond promptly to our emails and, if needed, to accommodate any expedited shipping to meet your desired delivery date.

Note: Due to copyright restrictions, the border design is not included in the preview, unless you have requested a color change as part of your customization.

Our standard customization options include adding the names of the groom and bride, along with the date, location, mahr, and signature areas. You can also choose the order in which the groom or bride's name appears, select different fonts for the couple's names, and specify the number of witnesses. We are continuously expanding our range of customization choices!

For extra customization, you have the option to add a couple's crest, make text adjustments, change colors, add extra marriage condition pages, and more. You can explore all the customization choices once you've selected a design.

Note: For text and colour changes, there is a limit of 2 rounds of edits. Should you require further changes, there is an additional fee of $50 per round.

On the order form above, you have the option to include additional pages for your marriage conditions. Each page can accommodate up to 5 conditions and will match the design and embellishments of your certificate.

Select “Marriage Conditions” on the order form under the Extra Customization section.

If you're completing the order form and are unsure of the Islamic date, you can leave it blank, and we will fill it in for you using our references.

The Islamic/Hijri calendar is lunar based, hence, the exact date may not be accurate until the start of that month. However, the dates may be estimated using various sources. Keep in mind, if your nikah is after Magrib, that will count as the next day.

Alternatively, you can obtain the Islamic date from your local mosque, Imam, Officiant, or online sources if you prefer to provide it.

Yes, you can request this in the notes section of the order form when you are placing an order.

The couple’s crest is a unique emblem exclusive to Raeesa Studio nikah certificates and wedding products. Our calligrapher will create a beautiful crest featuring the groom and bride's first names in Arabic.

Choose the option when you are filling out the order form when placing an order.

To ensure safe shipping, if you order just the certificate, it will be shipped either rolled in a sturdy tube or flat in a protected box with layered protection. If you order a frame or bundle, your certificate will always be shipped flat with protective layers, along with the frame or other items in the box.

For our Folder Nikah Contract set, the certificate pages will be placed inside the folder, with acid-free protective paper between the pages and around the vegan leather. The folder is then wrapped in plastic and packaged in a foldable box for delivery.
