I don't know which other section to post this. I hope it's in the right place.

I was wondering, Is it possible to obtain a birth certificate 15 to 20 years after birth? If so, how does one go about it? Thanks

Yes... mine was obtained wen i was abt 19 yrs old. So its possible. It was obtained in d hospital i was born.

In Nigeria anything is possible. Even aliens can get birth certificates. Lol

Just go to a court close to you and get an affidavit. You can use it in place of the birth certificate

@ op, visit the nearest NPC office close to you.

Interesting. And the hospital will be able to trace it to what date I was actually born? And will it be regarded as a valid birth certificate? Thanks

Try the hospital where you were born. They might be able to help

Just visit your Local govt they'll issue it to you. I got mine with L.G.A. identification just with N200each.(the paper is very old,u might thought it was issued on dat very day u were born).




NB:Where's Xcelsia, plz someone should tell her I want to hear/read her post.

Thank you. Really? They issue it deliberately with old paper? Does that mean I get to claim any age I want or there's a process for fact checking it?
