Nigeria Police Report/Certificate

[jckay 4]

Hello everyone, I hope I can get a precise help here. I received a Check-list from NVC for my wife's Nigeria police report because she lived there until age of 18 before moving to United Kingdom.

We immediately applied for this report, then sent to a friend in Nigeria that helped us process it. On getting the police certificate from the mail this morning, everything looks good except the last section about what she will be using the report for. The certificate says 'This certificate is Valid for 3 months and issued to the holder to travel to ''Canada'' instead of ''United States'' (obviously we are applying for US Visa). I don't know why in the world they will put Canada instead of USA even without asking.

My question to any experienced member is, does it really matter either they put Canada or US,. It is valid for only 3 months, should I just request it to be corrected or apply for another one? Or can I send the certificate without any correction?

This is a sample of how the report looks as attached here

,. It is valid for only 3 months, should I just request it to be corrected or apply for another one? Or can I send the certificate without any correction?

From the London website

Note: UK police certificates are valid for one (1) year only. All other foreign police certificates are valid indefinitely, unless the applicant has traveled to the country in the last year. Bearing in mind this information, applicants must ensure that a valid police certificate is presented at the time of their appointment.

I wasn't replying to your Canada issue or the UK police certificate. I don't know if they will accept the word "Canada" because despite almost 6 years of experience with the London embassy, you are the first I know with the word Canada on a Nigerian police certificate. It doesn't come up often.

I was only replying to the fact that you mentioned the 3 month Nigerian expiration as if that was also an issue. In case you hadn't already studied the London website to know their policy on foreign police certificates, I was pointing you to the expiration discussion. The part I put in bold is further information on what I thought was your secondary concern. Sorry for the reply.
