Hello guys, splendid morning to you all.....
Guys, please the date of birth on my birth certificate and waec cert did not tally......my birth cert shows 13/3/1992(correct) and my waec shows 19/5/1992(wrong). I went to table my complaints at the waec office and they said I have to submit my original waec cert and birth cert through the principal of my secondary school. The young lady also said it will take up to 6months- 1year before I receive my rectified waec cert. I plan to swear an affidavit backing my birth cert. but someone told me that financial institutions don't accept affidavits........pls I need u guys more than ever now.

Bartho,though it's a serious error u need to correct as there is no correlation whatsoever in d dates,fbn is not concerned abt two months difference. But integrity means a lot to them cos it's their watchword.
the year is still the same so get the affidavit to back it up. I just asked a friend of mine and he suggested u get an affidavit with d same details as u ve on ur waec. Which means u will not tender ur birth cert.u can claim it's lost as waec is what counts. But again, integrity is d watchword. Make a wise decision

mayoor15:
It's best you correct it once and for all, submit it now for correction, WAEC will give you a back up letter to show they are correcting your certificate, that should be enough for most organisations, you will only keep procrastinating and you never know when it will come back to haunt you.

cloud9usher:


If FBN calls for documentation and your original WAEC is not available for presentation then you can be sure FBN would not have time to entertain any stories, so if I were you I wouldn't submit my WAEC original through your sec. school.


Birth certificates and declarations of age are mere formalities when assessing a candidates age, because anyone can forge it and use whatever age the want. To the best of my knowledge, WAEC is the number one document banks use to assess your age.

If I were you this wouldn't have been an issue to me ever since, since the age difference is just two months, I would have just gotten a declaration of age stating the WAEC date of birth and be using it all through my job applications, the stress of getting WAEC to rectify a mistake on DOB has never been easy from the cases I have seen and heard of.


And when firms are recruiting, they always watch out for "stories that touch" concerning WAEC to discard candidates with such issues, in most cases, more than 90% of people with claims of WAEC making mistakes on their DOB are usually just lying in order to reduce their real ages. I don't think its wise to take the risk of giving away your WAEC original and presenting a letter from WAEC to FBN concerning the issue, what stops anyone who wants to lie about their age from doing such as well? If firms honour such then everyone can get a letter from WAEC and submit during documentation stating how their DOB is different and all.

I'm no authority here but looking at your options, I think the best thing for you to do is go get a declaration of age that rhymes with your WAEC DOB, then during documentation, pray they don't refer to your CV which you submitted during your application stage which I'm sure has your actual DOB, if they don't refer to that CV's DOB then you are cool, but if they do; then still pray and explain to them that it was a typographical error or editing error when you were typing your DOB details on your CV or website for application. Make sure that henceforth you edit your DOB on your CV to rhyme with that on your WAEC. Submitting your WAEC original and waiting for 1 year when you are not even assured of a positive outcome is not worth it, having your professional DOB of just 2 months difference which you would be using is not bad. After all some people just picked their own DOB's because their parents couldn't remember the actual date.

Its not a crime to say you have misplaced your birth certificate or if you don't have any as the case may be, and that's why declaration of age is valid as well. So using a declaration of age and a WAEC certificate is enough for verification of your age. If you like submit the most authentic birth certificate that was signed by Dr Ben Carson himself or declaration of age gotten 20 years ago signed by the Attorney General of the federation himself, as long as you don't have a WAEC to back up the ages on either the declaration of age or birth certificate then as they say: "you are on a long thing!"

Banks for one don't play with age at all! So don't play around with banks when it comes to your WAEC DOB. I remember back then when we went for an open aptitude test for 2:2 and above candidates for a contract position at Access bank, the only document they wanted to see for the first stage was WAEC, not even Degree or NYSC certificate just yet. I almost asked myself if it was an office messenger position I was applying for

cheks123:
Much ado about this age thing. When will they complete AC and when are we going for documentation? That should be the matter at hand.

bartho77:



Thanks, I appreciate

mayoor15:
You are welcome, have you done your AC?

bartho77:




Yeah.

bartho77:




Yeah.

Simply go to any Heath care center, and get a new birth cert. Go with the old one, so they input All the details But correct the date to coincide with that on ur waec cert. I tink BirtH cert is better than declaration of age, It will cost u less than 5k. In Kano here a friend did it for 3k or so. Infact if the guys in the office are not too lazy, u'll just sit and wait while everything is done and u collect and go. Stress free. �

dachaste:
Jeez!!! Can u guys remember we uploaded our birth cert, waec cert, nysc and all that while applying?

I wonder if they'll refer to those documents later on. @ bartho77 I really don't know if my advice earlier was a good one. Considering the fact that if u get a sworn affidavit oR a new birth cert, it won't tally with the info u uploaded earlier when applying.

Maybe cloud9usher should Help ask if the documents we once uploaded Have been trashed or will Still be used. So u know what best to do.

cloud9usher:


You are very correct, we uploaded our documents, I totally forgot about that and only thought about the CV's we uploaded on Dragnet's website.

That's said, documents submitted during recruitment processes are RARELY discarded, but like I said concerning if the CV he submitted would be referred to during documentation, the documents we submitted MIGHT not be cross-checked over those we would be submitting during documentation, he best bet is having a WAEC certificate and a declaration age handy to present during documentation which shows he was not more than 27 years as at December 2016 as stated for the recruitment requirement.

Since he submitted a birth certificate during application, I think there is no need going to get another birth certificate so as not to complicate things with two different birth certificates, that's why my suggestion of getting a declaration of age is still his best bet, the major thing that assessors during documentation would be looking out for towards assessing a candidates' age is your WAEC, the other age related documents are mere formalities; anyone can fake them anytime.

So I would repeat that he doesn't return his WAEC original to his sec. school to be returned to WAEC, going for documentation with a letter of explanation from WAEC concerning DOB issues would not be honoured, if they honour such then everyone 35 year old can come for documentation with such a letter from WAEC explaining that there was a mistake and his real age is 25 years.

Make sure you go to documentation with that WAEC original, pray and hope for the best.

For those dat cares to listen, get ur busy with something, most of this big organization use years to conclude recruitment. beside you can't stay and � wasting ur time, all becos of first bank, add something to ur CV. in fact banking sector is not best place to work now self. people get dropped on a daily basis for offense you never committed.....
