SCUML registration is mandatory for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs), including:

- Trust and company service providers.
- Other businesses at risk of being used for money laundering.

If your consulting firm falls under these categories, proceed with SCUML registration.

Do I need to authenticate both my attestation letter and affidavit?

Authentication requirements depend on destination country policies and specific use cases. If you intend to use your NPC Birth Attestation Certificate abroad for immigration purposes, you may sometimes be required to submit the birth certificate (Attestation Certificate) along with the age declaration affidavit.

Most visa applications require Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication only for the attestation letter itself, though immigration officers may request to see your original age declaration affidavit as supporting documentation. Some embassies specifically request authentication of both documents, particularly for permanent residence or citizenship applications requiring comprehensive birth verification.

Consult destination embassy requirements before beginning authentication to determine whether single or dual document authentication is necessary.

Employment and Background Verification

Employers conducting background checks and identity verification uniformly accept both birth certificates and attestation letters as legitimate birth verification documents. The key consideration involves ensuring document details align with other identification documents, employment applications, and academic credentials to prevent red flags during verification processes.

International employers or recruitment agencies may request document authentication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before acceptance, standard practice for Nigerian documents used in international employment contexts. Budget adequate time for authentication processes when employment opportunities require quick documentation submission.
