Quick answer
The National Population Commission registers births, deaths, and stillbirths in Nigeria. For a Nigerian birth certificate or birth attestation, check NPC offices and official NPC online guidance.
Why it matters
- Passport applications may require an NPC birth certificate or declaration of age.
- Schools and embassies may ask for proof of birth.
- Birth registration helps protect children’s legal identity.
What to confirm
Ask the NPC office or portal which document applies to your case: birth certificate, birth attestation, late registration, or correction. Requirements may differ depending on age and record history.
