Greetings guys.


Pls I have a few questions
1. What's the difference between the notarization of documents, authentication of documents & legalization of documents?

2. Due to my budget I'm targeting to apply for schools in Portugal & Austria for my masters using my H.N.D upper credit results.
Please which & which document should I notarise, authenticate or legalize?
Thank you

Notarization is mostly on done on photocopy of a document to make it a true copy for possible legalization at the embassy, authenticate is done at moe&mofa why legalization is at the different embassy in Abuja an lagose after your documents have been authenticate at moe&mofa.
For Austria/Portugal
For Austria your birth certificate/attestation of birth
Your Waec, ND and Hnd certificate, transcript, spinsterhood/bachelorhood certificate(optional) then your 200k for verification at the embassy

For Portugal legalization your ND, Hnd and transcript to be submitted at the embassy for verification/legalization which takes more than 6 weeks for verification before you can legalize.

If she is a Nigerian her documents will need to be verified first at British council/commision here in Abuja after which it will be sign at mofa.

Greetings guys
Pls I want to know if do Portugal consulate legalizes documents or it's only done by MOE & MOFA.

Portugal embassy handles the verification/legalization after it has been authenticate at moe&mofa, so moe&mofa handles authentication why embassy handles verification/legalization.

willietex:
Pls guys
I did electrical & electronics engineering (H.N.D) can I use it to for for masters in Portugal?

Yes of course but prepare to pay 150k at the Portugal embassy for the verification of your ND, hnd and transcript at the embassy which the verification exercise takes 6 weeks for processing.

Emmachudi:

No, you have to use naira, Nigeria account

pleasureosondu:
it seems you know something about the application process. What are the chances for a Nigerian trained truck driver (dangote) per securing visa or job? I have a valid truck Nigerian licence. Do they give visas to us?

You chances are in being able to meet the embassy requirements in terms of visa
You will have high prospect of getting a job, but you will have to go with plenty money for your upkeep before you land a job

kel2me:
Is the attestation for everyone? Even if you have a birth certificate that carries NPC from 1992

If you have attestation of birth from NPC, you don't need another one make sure that the affidavit you use in obtaining it is properly done, if not u are going to pay another 200k at the embassy for verification just as some did, please take not especially with your court declaration of age, for those submitting attestation of birth, I hope you know that you are going to legalize both of them after verification

Arrgh😮
Do you mean they no longer authenticate BSc
We that's yet to...what's our own fate now 😨😞

Was suspended on Monday
But hopefully they will resume by the week, but their indications that the ministry maybe sending those certificate to the schools one graduated from for verification, before it can be authenticated.

Public Notice, moe&mofa have suspended the authenticate of BSc and ND and Hnd for now due to mass proliferation of fake certificates, it started on Monday this week, hopeful it will be resolved by next week.
Don't worry I will keep you posted

But you can authenticate your Waec/Neco if you are going for BSc, they are still accepting o levels

msttolusola:
Good morning,
I submitted student transcripts for verification and I v done verification, waiting for embassy verification report. Hope I can use the student transcripts. Please I need advice

Your question is not clear
1 but if you have authenticate your documents at moe&mofa, you can get eligibility and English proficiency from there to apart from your school and it is faster

2 But moe&mofa have suspended the authenticate of BSc and ND and Hnd for now due to mass proliferation of fake certificates

3 You said you have student copy of your transcript, but note if the student is the one u printed from your email and want to authenticate moe does not accept it, except the copy you collected directly from your school showing the stamps on it.

[quote author=Cammybabe post=128008516]please can you share the website link to book an appointment for document submission at the embassy?

gianugo:
Please can someone explain the LEGALIZATION part of the application?

1)What documents should be legalized?
2)When in the application process we should legalize these documents?
3)Where these documents are legalized?

Thank you.

After authentication at MOE&MOFA, I u will book appointment to submit your documents at the embassy and when u collect it, the embassy will send it to NUC n it’s when NUC returns it back thats when u pick and pay for legalization.

Christie171:
If I start my application process now, how long before I can leave Nigeria and be in Austria?

If you start now it may take you 3-5 months processing time, it also depends on the swiftness of the entire process.

lady25:
The police character certificate to be submitted, please must it be legalised at abuja?

Yes, you will have to get appointment for the legalization date
