NYSC certificate is not needed for visa interview so don't worry yourself. Since you're in Abuja, certify at the embassy there.

Thanks, I thought you can only certified at the Lagos office. Alright, I'll make the enquiries.

1.) does Vfs handle German visa application? (a friend was arguing with me so I wanted to be sure)

No, VFS does not process for Germany in Nigeria, you have to do it through the German embassy.

2.) does travel history affect one's chances of getting the German study visa? (e.g like can the application of someone who has never traveled out be rejected)

From the best of my knowledge, I don't think your application can be rejected because you've never traveled before, but if you've applied for a Schengen visa before and was rejected base on illegalities which put a red flag on your application in their system, that might be a problem sha.

I think all my document is ready now, please who knows where I can certified my documents in Abuja and possibly the cost. And also I lost my Nysc certificate when I traveled last time but I have a scanned copy I scanned to my email, will that be an issue during visa interview stage (since nysc isn't needed for application).
