Bro, it can't be corrected considering the fact that the organization issue only one original copy of your cert. Any correction will prompt them giving out another original copy, which is not possible... the only help to his problem is court Affidavit... thanks

This guy has said it,swear a special afidavit for the waec result.
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by aremz(m): 11:36am On May 12, 2019
It can actually be changed but it’ll cost you some few documents
1)10,000 to be payed in bank
2)your original and photocopies of your birth certificate
3) Affidavit from court with receipt
4) 2 recent passport

Mine had the same issue, what you should do is, go get an affidavit and attach it you your waec cert. When ever you are presenting your waec cert, present it alongside the affidavit. With that you are good.
exactly what I did, case closed.

If you are correcting just your name or just your date of birth (DOB), you will be required to pay just N10,000. But if you are doing correction of name and DOB in WAEC result, you will pay N15,000. You have to write to WAEC the school you sat for the examination, with your original birth certificate attached. Declaration of age is not acceptable
I better rewrite the so-called WAEC than wasting 15k in changing name and DOB... SHIII

For correct country - yes.
In Nigeria, it depends on how many people you can bribe and it may still have story after much much.
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by dappyboy: 11:59am On May 12, 2019
Sure you can, I did this but they lost my original birth certificate. I couldn’t do anything! Too bad until date I didn’t get the BC. When I called their head office where it was sent to, the man who picked the call told me to go pray about it that there’s nothing they can do! I just didn’t call them again.

Sorry, I want to ask, can I edit the names on my waec? I have three names there, whereas I have only two names in all my credentials. Is there a way I can reduce the names on my waec to just two names?

Even me I have a similar problem.
My correct date of birth is 12th March 1990.
But on my original WASSCE cert, it was reduced to 12th March 1994.
They just removed 4 precious years from my age, I want to correct this.

Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by omokudu(m): 12:34pm On May 12, 2019
OpinionCounts:
I had same problem in my GCE result. I was told to present a police report, affidavit from court, present my birth certificate (not age declaration o), photo copies of original registration forms, copy of passport photo graph as on the registration form (if still available), a fee of 25,000naira. Your submitted documents will then be sent to Abuja for verification and further actions which may take 60years to conclude......my dear it's a very very long and tiring process. Luckily I did not need it desperately, I just wanted it for keep, I already had my complete result in WAEC.

How did u get ur GCE result? I wrote mine since 2011, but have not gotten. I wish to get the result, and how much did u pay for the collection of the result?
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by McCoy662(m): 12:34pm On May 12, 2019
it's not always easy shaa and it takes time but thank God my situation made me to learn the easier way.
if it's just date of birth, then u will have to pay about 20k and get it corrected in two days in Lagos.
for name, I don't think it's possible.
dm if u need more info
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by donbenie(m): 12:37pm On May 12, 2019
I would advise you to write a new WAEC,

The process to get this corrected will drag from here to New York and back..

And nothing will still happen...

Someone will soon open office for your head..

Naija get as it be..
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by Olamideayomide(m): 12:39pm On May 12, 2019
Go for court age declaration and attach it to the WAEC result whenever you are presenting it.
Re: Can Date Of Birth On WAEC Be Corrected? by mailemy(m): 12:43pm On May 12, 2019
It can be corrected but it takes alot of time which is not worth it.
I had same issue with my date,month and year. So I took it to WAEC head office in 2009. Could you believe I got it in 2017 plus the rigourous travelling to my sec school then to get a photo book because they will have to issue a new certificate. Although the photo also delayed it too because all these while I was only checking if my cert was ready without knowing i need to get my photo book. So I got the photo book in 2015 and in 2017,my Cert. Was ready.
I would advice you to make and laminate a coloured photocopy of your WAEC certificate and a sworn affidavit incase you insist on correcting it.
But for me,it's not worth the stress because your birth certificate covers it.
