your post reminds me of a question that has been bothering me for sometimes now. Please is there any other career choice or profession that one can do with a Bsc.ed certificate apart from teaching.

Sorry for the diversion and thanks in anticipation of your reply.

Nairalanders please I'm totally disappointed. As important and educative as the thread is, none of the responders to the post has any advice to those like me who have erroneously and ignorantly laminated all their documents, even my children birth certificates.

The question is what can we do about them having made the blunder in laminating them? Before now laminating documents was the right and first action on certificates to ensure it does not get wrinkled or torn. Those yet to laminate theirs are lucky, not that they are wiser than we.

some organisations, such as embassies, foreign school, etc attach so much importance to the security mark on certificates. Lamination makes it difficult to inspect/verify the security seal.

I have never supported lamination of certificates.

Thank God I didn't laminate my waec certificate when I collected it from school, I would ve not graduated from school.

Waec altered my result online after 5years. I got to know about it during my final year clearance. My clearance officer rejected my result that it has been tempered online.

I was directed to the head office in lagos to complain and when I got there I told them that the result on my certificate is now different from the one displaying online.

The HOD told me to bring my raw certificate. He said waec doesn't accept laminated certificate. Thank God I didn't laminate my certificate. They later confirmed the authenticity of the certificate and a green light icon on the machine confirm the certificate is genuine. The man told me, you are very lucky your certificate wasn't laminated.

That is how my result was validated online. Every since then, I don't even allow my younger ones to laminate their certificate.

Some embassies and schools abroad reject laminated certificates. Reason is that the rubber used to laminate prevents the machine from reading the authenticity seal on it. I was a victim. I had to go through stress and expenses to get a new waec result since the original I laminated spoilt when I was trying to remove the laminate. Pls instead of laminating it, put it in the rubber but let them just seal the tip and not the whole body. So you can take it out anytime if required..

Soft lamination is the way to go. You dont need to LAAAMIIINAAATE it HAARRD. When its soft their is room for air space to keep it dry from moisture. Gerrit?

When you say u get new certificate, what do you really mean? Waec issued new certificate to you or you re-registered for waec and took the exams again? Cos what i know is waec on no account can issue certificate twice. Never happened before and do not think it will in time soon to come.

I have schooled abroad without encountering any problems and all my certs are laminated including the cert inobtained there. This days verification can be done by sending emails to schools.
It would be nice to tell us the Country, so we will know!!!
Because Most (Embassies) schools abroad (Us, Canada, Germany) reject laminated certificates...

If you have laminated it you can try to carfully remove it but it has to be sone very CLINICALLY... VERY CLINICALLY lest the certificate gets damaged. Second option is to just leave it like that..

Laminating your certificates isn't a bad thing but you should know that when making international applications for whatsoever thing, they don't accept laminated documents. And if you want to "unlaminate" the document (pardon my vocab) you may end up spoiling/ruining/tearing the document. I for one do not like the idea of laminating my stuff
when applying to school abroad, they don't demand for ur certificates, but ur transcript, which is sent by your former school to them, so I don't think those that have laminated their have any issue.

Yes...in fact, you are as qualified as anyone with B.Sc. I graduated with a B.Sc(Ed) Computer Science from Tai Solarin University of Education and I've worked in several ICT firms. As long as you know what you're doing, fire on.

If you dream of going abroad someday, stay away from laminating your certificate.

I've been abroad both Europe and the West and my B.Sc certificate is laminated and it was NOT an issue.So it doesn't always follow.
What the embassies do is to verify the result you presented in your application from your previous school and not necessarily by visual inspection of the presented paper.
But I did advice leave laminating the certificate since according to some few people, have experienced it as an issue.

I didn't mention school and transcripts. When making applications that requires you sending some documents they don't accept laminated ones. Take it or leave it
