Please for those that have successfully done legalization at the Lagos Consulate, How much was it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Pardon my excessive questions.
it's because I don't know and I want to know, that's why I keep asking.

1) Can I do the DOV and legalize educational docs for my younger sister, since I have appointment at the embassy to legalize my personal docs.

2) She's going for undergraduate program, is the high school transcripts needed for DOV or is the waec and scratch card sufficient?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Ujules:
MOE and MOFA will authenticate the original and two photocopies for you. You can also pay for additional photocopies to be authenticated if you wish.

Thanks a lot.

4Justice:
MOFA official said they are not attending to the public for attestation officially now (20th August 2020). Unless you know someone that works there.

I hope the ministry will inform the public soon when they will start attending to the public.

Do not patronise those security men. It is odikwa risky.

So it means people that have been authenticating at MOFA has been using agents I guess?

Cos some people have been authenticating their documents at MOFA like 3 months now

4Justice:
At MOFA, do not let those policemen that turned agent to use you shine. Don't patronize them. If they give you fake stamp, the suffer no be here oooo.

Be guided

Please sir narrate the process for MOFA..
I'll be going to Abuja soon for it...

Claudia090:
Please guys, since i have done Authentication at MOE and MOF do i still need the legalisation at embassy?

Good morning, Please for MOFA, did you authenticate Original and photocopy?

How did you authenticate Photocopies?

Go to Bode Thomas Surulere..
Ask for NPC Secretariat office..
That's where you will get Attestation Letter.

I'll be narrating my journey to China as a student from Nigeria .

Ujules:
I don’t know o, but I think its the Remita receipt for payment and also MOE gives its own seperate receipt asides Remita. Just carry all receipts of payment you have and give them anyone they request. Maybe MOFA Remita, MOE Remita, and MOE receipt.

Mine is more than 3 because I’ve done authentication 3 different times now.

Thanks a lot.

Good morning guys,

Please I heard we must bring all the receipts of payment from MOFA when going for legalization at the embassy?

Someone said its 3 in number, please anyone with the idea of which receipts these are?

dmk23:
Yes you would authenticate both original and photocopy. Please how did you get a date, I thought all appointment were cancelled already. Or is this the Abuja Consulate?.

Thanks a lot...

I got a date since June and the consulate emailed me September...

They didn't cancel my appointment.

Having gone through the process of authentication at the MOE and MFA by proxy, I'm here to debunk a few myths:

Student transcripts
Original student transcript the one with Not for official use is actually accepted at both ministries. I used my student transcript because I was not ready for the stress of getting the original ready in a short time and it was accepted.

Not just anyone can get your documents authenticated For four reasons:
1)The process of authentication requires the original of some very sensitive documents:
-Waec certificate
-Birth certificate
-Transcript
-Degree certificate

If you are like me that consider these documents highly sensitive, you obviously cannot leave the handling of these documents to strangers.

2) The workers of MOE derive joy in frustrating the efforts of people getting their documents authenticated by proxy so the process can be tasking and time consuming. You need someone trusted to do the follow up and running around because it is not a smooth ride at all.

3)The person also has to know what an authenticated document looks like so agents don't present you with fake authentication (yes, there's such a thing). For instance, the MOE first gave my representative an unsealed eligibility letter. He had to return it and ask for it to be sealed.

4)The person may charge you lots of money because like I said before, the process is time consuming and stressful. If you can entrust your money to strangers, by all means pay and hope for the best. The cost of authentication for me was about 30k and that didn't even cover the running around my friend did, plus printing as compared to when you do it yourself at the MOE with N300 per document and N800 per page at the MFA.

P.s: If you can avoid getting the documents authenticated by proxy, please do because it is faster, cheaper and easier when you do it yourself.

You need passport pictures
When you're sending your documents to someone, please remember to add passport pictures like 3-4 and also make three photocopies of each documents.

Laminated certificates
There's no need to delaminate your certificate before sending. Whoever is authenticating will tear a piece of the lamination from behind and sign.

Use a trusted courier to send your documents
I used GIG logistics to send my documents to Abuja and it took three days. They charged 4300 from their Jibowu office to Abuja and I feel it was worth it. Please don't entrust your certificates to drivers because you want to cut cost, it may end in premium tears.

I hope this helps someone

nice write up..

I plan on doing mine very soon.

Hello guys,

During my pre-enrollment on Universitaly, i choose Abuja embassy for where I’d like to apply for my visa (my reason is because Vfs handles visa and I know my way around Abuja and have friends I can sleep over in their house).

I received a mail few days after submission saying my pre-enrollment has been forwarded to Abuja Embassy and It seems my DOV will be gotten there.

For legalization, my state falls under Lagos Embassy. I hope this isn’t a problem?

I thought legalization has to do with your state of residence not necessarily state of origin.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello guys,
Can ECO accept affidavit of age declaration sworn by applicant himself or it must be done by parents or older sibling, aunty e. t. c

I did my affidavit for my age declaration my self and used it to get my attestation of birth at the NPC state office Lagos.

P. S: I'm 18+

Please is this okay?
