Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by Kadata(m): 4:45am On Sep 10, 2010
Yes , it would. Simply swear an affidavit with the mistaken age and that validates it.

@Yommy

It has nothing to do with your NYSC programme, because it is separate issue.

u don't have to call anybody for any assistance all u have to do is to go to waec office and lodge your complain to them. they will tell you what to do over and be prepared to pay some amount of money. I too have problem with photograph on my certificate and have do the necessary things to rectify the problem.

For those that want to use it for registration in your various schools,it doesn't matter. What really matter is the Biodata  on your Jamb Original result, The same thing happened to me 2 months ago when I went for univ of ibadan's interactive session,  I submitted it that and my name came out on the admission list.
Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by DOWHILE: 5:52pm On Sep 12, 2010
Tanx tunji. Actually i av been usin statmnt 4 long. Just tot they may ask of my origina in ilorin screenin. Besides, wnt u corect urs?
Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by Kadata(m): 11:03pm On Sep 12, 2010
@stevetboy
ur case is simple. Just do a newspaper publication that the person bearing 'Oluwaseun , ' and ' Olluwaseun, ' are one and the same person. Then attach a photocopy of the newspaper publication to d Certificate in case u are asked. That settles d issue.
@yoomy
a court's affidavit is just to validate u as d owner of the mistaken certificate. That doesn't change anything. It only lends credence 2 d fact that the certificate is urs.
Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by DOWHILE: 2:27pm On Sep 13, 2010
Thanks Kadata.

@Yinkade
*you can reconcile it with a newspaper publication<doesn't have to be popular>
*just state that you want to publish a verification of name that 'the person bearing Adetolu Adeyinka M and Adetolu Adeyinka A are one and the same person' . At least that solves it legally.
*Now, make a photocopy and attach it to your original WAEC certificate, in case you are asked.
Simple, huh

Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by Gentlesoul4life: 10:01am On Sep 15, 2010
Can someone pls advice me on my comment.
Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by Kadata(m): 11:31am On Sep 15, 2010
@Gentle and others-with-d-same-problem

An affidavit in the court stating that ur misspelt name and ur real name belong to one and the same person. It's quite better than a newspaper publication, and has 'more legal' leverage than the newspaper pub.
Hope that helps.

Does it mean that after the affidavit of change of name in the court, there's no need publishing it or what?
Re: Mistake Of Date Of Birth On My Waec Result by DOWHILE: 3:05pm On Sep 20, 2010
Yeah, That's the idea Black baba.,,,,,,,It's either you publish it in a newspaper or if it's so urgent you can get affidavit just like Yommy did and it worked out for him.,, ,,,,,
