What embassy do you intend to submit your marriage certificate? If it is Austrian embassy, then ofcourse Yes, you must authenticate your marriage certificate at the Ministry of foreign affairs, all Nigerian documents(except international passport) being submitted to the Austrian embassy must first be legalized at the Ministry of foreign affairs before they can be accepted at the Austrian embassy. Regards

Holland Embassy! Do you have any idea about dis please Share it with me, and if I have authencate it will I have to get it legalized again at the embassy. Before I used it

@bunmi284

Yes, the ministry of foreign affairs will legalize your statement of result even if it is being Notarized by a Notary Public... Also Affidavits that are notarized by notary publics, the ministry of foreign affairs legalizes such documents.

As for d authentication of your statement of result @ ministry of education before taking it to d ministry of foreign affairs, it all depends on the kind of statement of result u want to legalize, if it is just a high school statement of result, you do not need to take it first to ministry of education for authentication, you just need to go ahead with the legalization @ foreign affairs. Also, I think I had a similar situation as yours, I also have a diploma statement of result from unilag, and a diploma certificate; when I got there @ Abuja, I was told to authenticate the diploma certificate at Ministry of education, but for the diploma statement, It was just legalized only at ministry of foreign affairs..(So, u should know what to do)

I am aware that certificates are to be authenticated at the ministry of education before taking them to the Ministry of foreign affairs for legalization, e.g: WAEC certificates, GCE certificates, Diploma certificates, or any university certificates and so on.......

@niceguy_dot

Yes, you need to authenticate your original Waec result and NIIT certificate first at Ministry of education, before taking them to Ministry of foreign affairs for legalization. (Yes, both ministries)

pls how much does it cost to authenticate waec and birth certificate

Paywole: pls how much does it cost to authenticate waec and birth certificate

WAEC certificates cost 3,000naira each for authentication at the Ministry of Education, go with ur WAEC scratch card

Birth Certificates are not authenticated by Ministry of Education cos it isn't a school result.. You only need to legalize ur birth certificate at Ministry of Foreign affairs, which goes for about 500naira per page(u get within one week), but if u r getting it done that same day for collection(express), it is 1,100naira per page

Hello guys, am kinda getting fustrated here, am in France and i needed to get some documents legalised in Nigeria, my documents were sent to the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs in Abuja and it was legalised, well so they said. And the legalisation was done or showed A LIGHT WHITE STAMP writing '' MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS LEGAL DIVISION SERVICE; It was written round the Nigeria flag logo and a blue pen SIGNATURE at the back of each documents. Now here in France i was told that wasn't enough that, It wasn't written '' LEGALISED'' on the documents and there should be a STAMP, showing '' LEGALISED on each documents with a signature of whoever that legalised the documents. IS THAT TRUE?

I WISH I COULD SEE A SAMPLE OF HOW A DOCUMENTS IS GENUINELY LEGALISED IN NIGERIA. Thank you.

IS THE NIGERIA COAT OF ARM THE SIGN OF LEGALISING A DOCUMENT AT THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN ABUJA?

@joie 12

Awww, sorry about the challenges you are facing...

With d explanation u gave here, I can say that I think your documents were legalized genuinely. I av done this before and yes, the legalized documents have the light white stamp, in a circular form, with the Nigerian coat of arms inside (at the middle of the stamp) just as you described yours and also there is a signature on top of the stamp and a "DATE".

There isn't any other stamp on the document stating "Legalized" on the document; it isn't done this way here, the French people over there, maybe that is how they do theirs in their country when legalizing documents but here in Nigeria we also have our method of doing things, they should consider that. (And not thinking they know too much and suspecting every document as fake coming from Nigeria, sorry to add this but this is what most of these foreign people think and it makes me sick, Urghhh) We can't have the same method of doing things.. They shouldn't stress you, they should do their jobs to find out if it is original or not, they can go through that stress to confirm that themselves..

I don't av any other thing to say, all I think is that your document was genuinely legalized... That's it! You just have to find a way to convince them and tell them this is how it is done here or maybe find a way to get an official letter from Ministry of foreign affairs stating that your document is genuinely legalized, with signature of who did this legalization at MFA but this wouldn't be easy.. (I think, but you can try) This is the only solution I can think of...

I will like to share my experience with those of us who will like to undertake authentication, verification and letter of eligibility with Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja.If you want eligibility letter from Federal Ministry of Education but your GCE,WASCE or NECO certificate has been misplaced or destroyed, may be due to a natural disaster, you need to confirm the result from WAEC office at Yaba before you embark on the exercise at FME in Abuja.If not, they will never give you. That was my experience with them. I was sent back to Lagos for verification from WAEC. Though, i had sent 2 mails for inquiries through their website but no response and no phone numbers to call for inquiries. The confirmation from WAEC costs N5,000.00 and speed post of N2,700.00. You will wait for a week before you now go to Abuja. Officially, the authentication takes 3 to 5 days with your Testimonial and certificates submitted. If you do not go with your testimonial,you are on your own(OYO).I met a lady from Imo State who did not turn-up with her Testimonial. She was sent back to go and get it. When you are through with FME,you will move to Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs for another 3 to 5 days officially. But God so good, i met a guy who served with them and he assisted me with the processing and everything was done in a day. You can imagine how much i could have spent on accommodation, transport and feeding. His name (was)is DELETED but they call him Pastor around there.His phone numbers are DELETED He advised that people can send their documents and not undertake the risk of coming all the way to Abuja.You can speak with him and he will put you through.(I will like to appeal to the management of Nairaland if I have violated any rule(s) guiding your business. I just don't want people to experience what I saw many going through overthere. Moreso, authentication does not take place on Fridays. (2)They have a brochure of all the schools in Nigeria,including secondary schools,if your school is not found in there, forget it. That includes the school you are applying to outside Nigeria.I finally got through with everything.

hi guy

There is nothing to be afraid about. You can take a blade along with you when going to Min of Edu and Foreign Affairs. Those girls selling Neco and Waec scratch cards at the Min of Edu will be there to help you create a space at the back of your certificate where the authentication will be done on. Mind you, you can only legalise certificates. But if your academic certificates are not yet out, ensure you take your transcripts along. Enjoy.
