What to Know About Nigeria Documents
- English is Nigeria’s official language, so many civil records are issued in English and may not require translation — but documents in Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, and older records, do.
- Where a formal birth certificate is unavailable, applicants often rely on a sworn Affidavit of Age Declaration or an Attestation of Birth; these are accepted supporting documents and we translate or certify them in full.
- Marriages may be statutory (registry, under the Marriage Act) or customary/Islamic, and the paperwork differs accordingly.
- Affidavits and declarations are sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths at a State High Court — the court endorsements are part of the translated document.
