Hey guys i am new to this thread and read through most of the pages.Well,my question is on proof of funding,which is blocked account,using sponsorship letter and scholarship.Please i need to know what sponsorship letter is all about.

blocked account : you open a German acct with a German bank and you transfer 8720 euros there. you can only have access to it Wen u get to Germany. that's why it's called blocked. and you will be given access to only 750 euros per month.

sponsorship letter is when a residence of Germany files that he can take care of you, he/she must be employed and earning good salary. I think 1500 euros per month if the person is single and 3500 if the person is married. doing that... you don't need blocked account.

I needn't tell u bout scholarship

@Immafrank,

All the 13 pages make up 1 set of documents. Make it up to 3 sets as suggested by @neccki. Please, make sure you go with evidence of university applications if you are going to Lagos consulate. Abuja might overlook it but Lagos don't.

@Evabee,

Congratulations, go to Deutschland and succeed.

thanks don.

neccki:
Yes!......You can make it 3 sets for 3 schools instead. Make use of the opportunity.

thanks brother

@Jones500,

You have to book appointment for certification online.

It's free for the first 3 sets of documents. Additional documents are charged.

See attached pdf for guidelines.

Ehn Ehn o juss to kill my curiosity. will be embassy certify all the documents for the university I'm applying too... for example I want to certify close to 13 papers juss for a university.

1neboss:
Hello guys, i want to apply for different universities but i certified only 1 copy for each requirements. can i scan and print out in other to have multiple or must i go to court again again?.

you wan jonz abi lol
you have to certify everything. every single copy you want to send to the universities and I hope the court used a seal for you cuz I heard some uni don't accept mere stamps.

industrialchemi:
Good evening. Please I want to apply for mechatronics engineering OR automotive and systems engineering for Masters degree in Germany. Don't know if this is possible as I'm studying industrial chemistry. Someone should help me please.

check daad.de/en
after you ve seen your preferred course and school. check their requirements. you will see disciplines they are looking for. chances are high when you are applying to a related field you did in your bsc

@Blackanada,

You can use DHL for 11,500 with student discount.

Remember to ask them for student discount.

You can also team up with other students and share the 11,500. I did this like twice.

No disadvantage in using High Court for certification but try to check your school requirement as some schools don't accept certifications without seal as mere rubber stamp is not sufficient.

@lawlandc,

Get a letter from your school registrar as suggested. Also, you can mail your course coordinator to know if the letter will be accepted.

@Mirastones,

It should be around November or December. Keep checking the consulate's website for more information.

I went to DHL office last Friday. they said there is no student discount.

lawlandc:
Please I'm applying for admission in a German school they requested I upload a result of IELTS or LOEFL to ascertain my English proficiency... I haven't written any exam like that.. Is it compulsory I must take the exam b4 applying? How do I go about that? Pls I need response asap

you can get an English proficiency letter from your school. just direct a letter to your registrar. Getting the letter will exempt you from the TOEFL and Co but depending on the school requirement. Some will accept and some will insist you do the language test.

Blackanada:
Can someone please give me an idea of the cost of mailing documents to uni-assist, and what mailing services are most reliable and/or cheapest.

it's still the same price as mailing your docs to the school directly and don't forget you have to pay uni assist processing fee.

DHL: 18,200 naira.
TNT: 14,920 naira.

asaju10:
The courses displaying on daad. de are mostly winter course or does it mean It's still early to check for courses? Pls i need clarification on this.Thanks

Most schools I've seen are open for application during winter semester. however, few courses and few schools opens for summer. so when checking daad. use the advanced criteria options and check summer semester box only

goldenchild4:

billiondd:
Please, I wanna ask.. My bag containing my int. passport was stolen. However, I've got a soft copy of the passport in my laptop. Can I apply to schools with that in the meantime or do I need to go and retrieve the stolen one? I was @ NIS office in my city (Warri) and was told that a new passport would cost me 55k, since it is a case of "lost or stolen passport". What do I do guys?

You will need to certify that international passport(paper form) since it's a photocopy and that is if you are sending by postal mail(if asked by your school to send)

and I think getting back a new international passport for stolen/lost cases is more expensive than getting a new one for the Ist time.

donkafor:
It doesn't matter. Apply with it.

OK bro

Good day everyone. I just got my academic transcript yesterday.. the one I applied for online being sent to my workplace. on getting the transcript, I found that that my workplace address was on the first page. I hope it doesn't affect anything? and can I apply with that?
though oga neccki said I can apply with it but I juss need more clarifications.
Thanks y'all.

neccki:

Boss!.....He was just joking around jaree.

OK sir

omoh9ja:
Madam try and get my question right before jumping into telling me things, i asked odas who were ready to help m cud comprehend simple english and not you....so pls clear road.

na oga neccki u dey follow talk like that?

PlatinumPlato:
The German Embassy is the key if you can certify your documents there because all schools accept documents certified there. Alot of schools also take documents certified in High court which should be the cheapest for you. Notary public can also notarize your documents which will also be acceptable anywhere but could make you spend some bucks. The decision is yours.

thanks bro

Mrbigman1:
Maybe him time na only dia Dat is allowed.

Things don change. Go to federal or state high courts or Rotary Club to run d package for u.

okay bro. thanks!

Lextronggroup:
German embassy Abuja

And please where did you certify/notarize yours?

Mrbigman1:
Uncle, no mind dem abeg.
Try and certify in at any high court, state or federal den send to your school.

She is a female not male

Thanks madam!

Instructor001:
Since you said the transcript that your friend got through the other medium is the same as the one you have with you, and you are quite sure that there is no difference, then you can give it a shot. But if your transcript says or carries not for official use, then there might be probz.

Thanks bro.

donkafor:
Attached file contains all the information you need.

thanks baba

Mrbigman1:
Apply for transcript to ur dad or mum's office or anyone body u know, pick it up and certify it

My school gave me my transcript yesterday with my certificate. my question now is can I apply for my msc with that transcript because it states clearly on the school/course website that I should upload my transcript of records and I should also post it to them by mail.

I've been hearing series of answers concerning this that you can't post or apply to German university with the copy of transcript your school gave you!
Pls help me out as this is giving me serious concern.

funny enough is that my dept mate applied for his transcript online (for local copy/use e.g university or organization in Nigeria ) he added the post graduate address of the university which is in Nigeria though, he knew someone in the university's postgraduate unit, and he got it last Friday from the person in the post graduate unit of that school by hand, it was the same thing as mine... no difference. everything written on his was written on mine. Stamped and signed by registrar. he also wants to use it to apply but not Germany.

I will appreciate a quick response from anybody that has an in-depth knowledge bout this and also from people that have gained admission.
Eshey pupo.

hadassaheke:
Hi, you mustn't certify your documents at the embassy(except your school explicitly asked you to do that), you could certify your documents at the notary public or at the court.

Thanks sire

Instructor001:
Go to the embassy website, and book appointment


To certify your doc at the embassy, you have to book appointment with them. Follow this link ; https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_realmList.do?locationCode=lago&request_locale=en

scroll down and click continue "under legal and consulate affairs". It will take you to the next page then click continue under "services for university applicants , language students"

Thanks sire.
juss another quick question- because I've been hearing series of answers concerning this.
about my transcript of records, can I use my student copy because the school I'm applying to is requiring me to upload my transcripts and also send it to them by post. attached is the last page of my transcript.
Anybody's opinion is welcomed.

I have been following this thread for almost 2 years without asking a single question (you can check my profile).
Almost every question imaginable has been answered if you take your time to carefully go through the thread.

I am grateful to everyone that contributed to this thread in one way or another and i will do my best to answer any question you have.

Pls I want to ask a question.
I talked to a friend studying in Germany concerning the photocopies of my documents I will be sending by post to the school which must be certified. he said certification is done only by the German embassy. Pls where did u certify your own?
