I want to apply for admission to the university of Qatar. The university requires attestation letter for the course I want to study. They require attestion letter from 2 bodies in my country of residence which I have listed below.
In view of the above, I need some assistance to get my certificate attested ( notarized ) with the following body so that I can secure admission.

( 1 ) FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION OR MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

(2 ) ANY EMBASSY OF THE AGCC COUNTRIES THAT IS IN NIGERIA (  SUCH AS SAUDI ARABIA EMBASSY, ETC )

( AGCC STANDS FOR ARAB COOPERATION COUNCIL )[b][/b]
If you have done attestation for foreign studies before, please let me the requirement or procedure and how much the cost will be including your personal charges for running the services.
thanks

Take your original certificates/transcripts with copies to the mentioned offices above and get a designated staff to sign the copies, each as a true copy of the original, that is what attestation is.

"I hereby certify that this is a true copy of the original certificate/transcript" ------------ signed/dated with a stamp and seal if available.

This note and signature will be on the copy or preferably, the copy will be attached to a letter with the Ministry or Embassy letterhead addressed to the university.
Good luck.

Anfanio,

Thank you so much  for your nice and simple suggestion. I will look for a time that I am free from office engagements to rush down to Lagos to do all the necessary processing.

According to your post, you were asked to get attestation from The Fed Ministry of Education or Foreign Affairs
Without prejudice to the suggestion you received, I doubt attestation would be valid if done by a university official
You will need to take your doc to the Fed ministry of Education in Abuja
I did it, so I think I know

@Naijaspeak, I hope you got your certificate attested. I am in the same shoe now and your response on how you eventually did it will be appreciated.
Is there anyone here with useful information on certificate attestation for Qatar and UAE?

I have not gone to Abuja to attest my document because I am still working to raise the required money for my studies/foreign trip. But if you want to do yours go to Abuja with your certificates/transcripts including the money for processing. The Ministry of foreign affairs, Ministry of Education and most embassies can easily be located if you ask people or you use the internet ( google search ) I do not know the charges for processing.

You have to go early in the morning so that you can be attended to on time. if your want quick attention you may have to tip the officials with some money ( bribe ) This is to avoid delaying the processing and keeping you in Abuja much longer than necessary.

Best of luck.

Guys still on the attestation. I urgently need to get my certificate attested too. I don't know if you guys have done yours @naijaspeak and @naijamark. Please I also want to know if someone can do it on my behalf as my schedule here in Lagos is very tight at the moment. Many thanks for your responses.
