Birth Certificate

[Aya820 33]

Hi all,

My first question for the NVC stage

Does anyone know where in Lagos, Nigeria my SO would get an original or certified original birth certificate???? He mentioned something about court? He was born in Edo State, so could he get one in Lagos or does he have to contact officials where he was born?

Thanks again in advance!

Let him or her ask for Brith Attestation in National Population Commission in any State in Nigeria.

He just needs to go and swear an affidavit at any FEDRAL high court,and then take it to the national population commision in the state or area that he lives,they will issue him one.I hope this helps?

@memecas73: Thank you for your response.

@edmondson: He mentioned something about court, but once he does that will this national population commission certify his birth certificate? Or does the court do that and the commission just records it?

Thank you both for your help. I will mention all of this to him, and he can check into it.

I was born in Edo State and live in Lagos. I got mine last week in Benin like this: Went to the National Population Office at 164, Ikpoba Slope, Benin City and told them i needed a birth certificate for US VISA. They charged N5k,did all the court work for me and gave me all the documents. Note it is important that the court affidavit is done by the applicant's mother(though not compulsory). I collected the affidavit unsigned and took it home to my mum(who could not travel to benin) to sign. You must ensure that your mother's maiden name appears on the birth certificate and affidavit.Best of luck

The point is that he must have to go to a FEDRAL court any where he is and swear the affidavit,he can get that done within 5 minutes,he can sign on behalf of his mother they don't actually care who signs or not just do the affidavit from the court and they will stamp and sign it,then ou will then take it to the national population comission and they will issue you the birth certificate.He should also take with him two passport photographs.I hope that helps.

Ok I understand now. Thank you very much!

I wish all countries would automate birth certificate requests so that we could just order online.
