When verification is needed
Verification may be requested for university admission, job screening, scholarship applications, professional registration or study abroad processing.
The receiving organisation may have its own preferred route, so follow its instruction carefully.
- School admission
- Employer checks
- Scholarship applications
- Credential evaluation
- Professional screening
Details to check
Candidate name, year, exam type, exam number and subject grades should match the documents you submit elsewhere.
If name differs across NECO, WAEC, passport or NIN records, address the issue before a major application.
Avoid unofficial shortcuts
Do not send certificate data to random agents or unofficial pages. Exam records are sensitive and misuse can create fraud risk.
Keep payment and submission proof from official verification routes.
