They certify/motorized outside VFS in Lekki, a guy does that. When did u get it response and were u also asked to do a written representation?
I'm planning on doing that this coming week but I really hope they will allow someone to makes the submission on my behalf.
Please, how much does it cost to certify your document, because I want to do that for my credentials.

Hello Everyone, I need your reply urgently. This is especially for those who has submitted their visa requirements.

1. Please did you book for appointment online. How did you go about it.

2. Someone said I will need to send them an email with scanned copy of my international passport bio data page. I did that Today. But no response from VFS. How long does it take for them to respond.

3. Or did you guys travel to Lagos personally to book appointment date.

Please I need your responses.

Thank you.

VFS does not respond immediately but they would surely respond. Response usually comes late at night. Just be patient, you do not need to go to their office.

Though you may get an earlier date if you go to their office

Hi all,

I would like to ask if it is compulsory to certify marriage and birth certificate at the ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja.
Also, who knows if one can get yellow card at other States than Lagos (Ibadan for example)

In the past you can get it anywhere even in Ife. I'm not sure about now cos with the new system, the card number has to be linked to your name and passport number.
I would advise that you try to get it in Lagos perhaps.

If your visa has expired you shouldn't be in SA man �
VFS requires that your permit be valid for at least 6weeks bfor renewal I think

And secondly, thinking of including all pictures from my Preggo day to delievery day till date.

Please advice ooo and can someone submit all this on my behalf as I Don't reside in Lagos.

Will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks


Your child's birth certificate must be certified at the Ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja. My daughter's visa was denied in January for the same reason of her birth certificate lacking credibility. Had to authenticate it first at the Ministry of Foreign affairs before resubmitting it. Relative Visa it was tho.

Relative Visa was eventually granted June, after resubmitting with authenticated birth certificate.

I really can't say anything about the amount in ones account, my hubby sent us his SA bank account statement.
