Just go to any high court and get a sworn affidavit to that effect. I'm sure it will suffice...

Then go to any waec branch or zonal office, explain your predicament and a letter will be given to you stating the error which you can tender anywhere. Even people who lost there certificate, such letter do stand binding and will suffice anywhere.

(14) Q. How can a candidate get errors on his/her certificates corrected ?

A. A Private candidate sends his/her request for an amendment to WAEC directly, while in the case of a school candidate it is the principal who makes the request.
In the two instances, the original copy of the certificate should be sent along with the application for amendment. WAEC charges a fee for the amendment where it is discovered that the error emanated from the candidate, otherwise, it is free.

The thing affected aspiring corpers like us. Our date of birth was incorrect, so we were advise to buy WAEC verification pin from first bank. Cost 300 naira.

I submitted my original birth certificate, the to-be-corrected certificate and paid 10k. I was told it would take a year, but I went on the 8th month and was given the corrected certificate.
