You should get affidavit for Age Declaration from Fed High Court and then, that same day proceed to get it from NPC. If you do otherwise, you will be rejected at the Austrian embassy. Be guided.

I've heard of"inside runs" but don't know anything about it

The person related to you must come with a VALID means of identification. They accept only international passport, permanent voter's card, driver's license

Good morning, I’m not the always travelling kind of person(Lagos to Abuja aren’t child play for me). please I intend to travel to Ministry of foreign affairs and ministry of education before next week runs out. My questions are
1. Can I go with my Nin slip since I don’t have my international passport ready yet?
2. Is there a specific background for my passport photograph?
3. I intend to take along with me all document that might need moe and mof authentification including those I might need and those I might not really need to save time and unnecessary travelling to Abuja again for same purpose.Document such as my weac certificate(I might not need in any application), bachelor degree certificate, transcript (student copy). I’m applying for eligibility letter too (this I might not need). Which other document do you think I should take Along too just Incase? If police certificate doesn’t expire I might apply for it and then take it along to moe and mof to authenticate. While helping out with document I might not really need for now and those that you think are important please bear in mind I’m not married. This will help to put some checks on some documents you might want to make suggestion about. I hope to read from you all. Thank you as you make contributions on this matter.

It depends on what purpose and country you are doing authentication for. But you need the following documents to be authenticated:

1. SSCE original, it is compulsory(plus N1200 WAEC card for verification).
2. BSc, MSc, PhD, ND, HND certificate.(any one that is applicable to you).
3. Eligibility letter, you will apply for it (N1000).

But if for the purpose of study, you will add:

4. Original transcript of records.
5. Three sets of photocopies of each document are required. If you are going to study abroad you will do additional sets of photocopies for admission because two from the three sets stated above are are going to be retained in the two ministries (MOE and MFA).

It is one step after the other. You will start with MOE (it takes 2 to 3 days depending on population) while MOF takes one day but you must be there by 9am. They close by 1pm and will not allow you in again. They don't do authentication on Fridays o.

Authentication cost N300 per page multiplied by the total number of pages you want to do. Plus some extra charges for application form (N450), remitars - for individual payments at the two ministries etc.

You can add Voters Card or Drivers Licence to your NIMC print out for identification. But if you don't have any of them you better wait for your passport to be out because they will send you back to your destination.

Best wishes.

Thank you. I don’t have either of those cards. Only have NiN slip. I misplaced my old international passport which I have the front page of it. That more of the reason why I don’t have my new passport ready. Can I go along with the printed page of the old passport and my NiN slip ? Also I don’t have destination yet for my MSc. I’m just free and not occupied at the moment to run those ministry of education and ministry of ministry thing because by the time I will have to choose destination I might not chances to travel down to Abuja and if I do it will be just a day thing and travel back.

Not possible. You can only authenticate original certificates plus photocopies. So, go and get your original certificates.

Wait till you have gotten your MSC destination, and passport is ready.

You can't do it in a day. Never possible.

If you go without the requirements I stated above you will be disappointed as they will send you back to your destination. This will amount to waste of time and money. I am talking from experience.

NECO certificate is equivalent to WAEC and it is acceptable.

No statement of result is allowed. It must be original certificates.

The process is simple. Your certificates authentication must follow laid down rules.

In your situation you must authenticate NECO, ND and HND original certificates. Forget about Testimonials and Statement of Result, they are USELESS for admission or travel process. You will also go with a valid means of identification such as Passport, Driver Licence or Voter's Card. If you don't have any of it, go and get it before you travel to Abuja.

You can't bend the rules except you want to waste your time and money. They will not attend to you.

Thanks so much brother

Although the MBA course accepted my NECO with my 6years work experience and TOEFL
So I don't really need my ND and HND for admission because it a professional master


Must I go with my admission letter?
Or not necessary

My dear friend, I have been explicit enough and I don't think you should be asking this question again. It is a must to authenticate your certificate if you will use it outside the shores of Nigeria except after spending Millions of money you still want to do menial jobs. If you have the intention of study and work in UAE, you better take the pain to do it, or else your ND and HND will be useless until you do it.

You are looking at admission requirements but not looking at the relevance of your certificate if you need to work. So many Nigerian graduates who came to UAE without authentication of their certificates are lamenting when they are being turned down after passing interview because their certificates are not authenticated. So painful!

This is the reason I have been taking my time on this forum to educate the in-coming Nigerians, so that they will not fall into the same avoidable problem. However, I need to also add that there are some menial jobs that the HRs don't even bother about your certificates.

My dear, do it but if you think it is not necessary, LEAVE IT. It is your choice!

Good luck.
