Yes, in 2025, your affidavit must come from a high court with it's new letterhead. The old version typed out on an A4 would be rejected. Either of your parents or the head of your family would go along with you with a government issued ID card (NIN, voters card also acceptable) to get it done.

Whoever signs your affidavit is whose details you would go with to the embassy for your interview.

If one of your parents deposed your declaration of age, you'll bring an ID containing the deponent's signature along with you to the visa interview.

Or

If your declaration of age was sworn by anyone who stands as the head of your family, you'll attend the visa interview with an ID showing their signature, AND (1) death certificate or (2) letter of illiteracy from one of your parents.

Someone has to depose your declaration of age at a high court, and it can't be you.

.so, invariably I will need my father's international passport when coming for an interview as my deponent and the affidavit must have letter head not the normal A4?

Hello everyone,

I want to know, I made a mistake typing my average grade point on my university portal. instead of 3.79, I typed 3.9. I was admitted anyways, I just noticed it when I accessed the enrolment page. I want to know, is it right I call the university attention to it or I should move on because they admitted me already and I accepted the admission.


Also, my program of study will be taught in English, and the visa application website on the Proof of the language skills in the language of instruction section, the instruction there is "if not confirmed by the university in the admittance notification" and I was admitted using an English proficiency letter from my previous studies which was accepted. Please, I am requesting, is it possible I write to get a letter from the university to indicate that the document I submitted was sufficient enough because indeed the university finds it sufficient that is why I was admitted. for me to show a confirmation to the embassy on the day of my interview, although my program is completely taught in the English language.

You have to reach out to the school to correct it. For the proof of language I am still confused with the requirement. I have this on my AL....I don't know if it is enough

Based on the website, 👇👇👇


certified copy of the local birth register extract based on the first registration

and

affidavit* (“Declaration of Age”) of one parent or the head of the family if both parents are deceased (please hand in the death certificates)
AND copy of an identity document showing the signature of the person making the affidavit makes an affidavit.


In my case, both my parent are no more, can my older brother make the affidavit for me as the head of the family?

also, how can I get "certified copy of the local birth register extract based on the first registration"?

vffur45:
Your older brother can depose your affidavit if he's 7 years or more older than you, as requested by the high court, but you can take a chance and give it a try if he's not up to 7 years older.

Also, it means you'll take his valid ID along with you to the embassy to verify the signature on your affidavit, plus the death certificate of any of your parents since they've passed on.

Certified copy of the local birth register simply means your original birth certificate as it was given to you/your parents (without notarization or any tampering of such). Just your birth certificate, that's all. Note that some people don't have birth certificates so they go to their visa interview with age declaration and attestation letter or birth certificate (depending on your birth date) issued by the NPC.

Petit08:
Please we the embassy accept local birth certificate without affidavit because the issues of this affidavit is an issues

Hello house
Can anyone who has gone through this interview process please tell me what they were asked? Mine is in a few weeks and I don’t know what to expect. Someone said they asked for the name of the Germany’s president. Any input you have will be highly appreciated.

gosarumese:
Thank you. How do I get the certified copy of the local birth register?


I am asking because according to the visa application website, I have to the submit the certified copy of local birth register with affidavit.

vffur45:
You don't have to certify it anymore, take the original birth certificate as it is to the embassy.

gosarumese:
Actually, I don't have it..

On the website, it says. 👇👇👇

b) for births after December 13, 1992

(i) NPC birth certificate if the birth was registered before the age of 18

otherwise/or

(ii) certified copy of the local birth register extract based on the first registration and affidavit* (“Declaration of Age”) of one parent or the head of the family if both parents are deceased (please hand in the death certificates) AND copy of an identity document showing the signature of the person making the affidavit makes an affidavit.


In this case, I was born after 1992, I want to know which one will I do. I dont have the NPC birth certificate.

vffur45:
If you were born before December 13, 1992, the embassy requires age declaration, and birth attestation from NPC, plus your original birth certificate if available.

If you were born after December 13, 1992, the embassy accepts NPC birth certificate, if you were registered before age 18, otherwise, age declaration and your original birth certificate.

You must go to the embassy with your affidavit:
1. If you were born before December 13,1992.
2. If you were born after 1992 and your birth wasn't registered before age 18.

Please for my own case, both my parents are dead , they died when I was little, so my uncle did the NPC birth certificate for me in 2016 , and I was above 18 then, but my uncle died in 2021, so the problem I have now the ID I will present to the embassy since my uncle is no more?

vffur45:
Your NPC birth certificate was gotten/registered after you turned 18, so you need affidavit for declaration of age by another head of your family. It's what the embassy stated, as it is on the checklist for student visa.

You have to get an age declaration, and whoever deposed that affidavit should give you their ID showing their signature for you to take along to the embassy.

So what you're going with to your interview is:
1. Death certificate of one of your parents
2. NPC birth certificate from 2016
3. Affidavit for age declaration sworn by the now acting head of your family (they can get this done for you using their government issued ID including NIN or voters card. They have to be at least 7 years older than you) to depose your affidavit as required by the high court of justice.
4. ID card of whoever deposed/swore/signed your affidavit which could be a work ID provided it has their signature on it.
