Hi Merit, Good day. Thank you for the effort you put into communicating properly. My question is, I have gone through the authentication and legalization phase at the Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs respectively about two years ago, do I need to go through this again, or I can jumpstart at the Austrian embassy already? putting into thought that I have done everything at the two ministries. thank you

[@meritiyke]

You can go head with the verification if you have a date and you're certain of the authentication done at both Ministry

Thanks for the great information. Do I really need IELTS or other English proficiency tests for master study? I heard you mention obtaining something related to that from the Ministry of Education.

[@DecencyDeGracious]

Hello sis. I have a pending admission and was told to submit my legalization before January according to the school and upon this moment i am not getting any 2023 appointment date. What do i do?

[@meritiyke]

You have to keep checking. Try checking at midnights also.

[@phebeanelsie8649]

Thanks for the explanation on the age declaration aspect. I want to ask another question. Must my affidavit and attestation carry same date. E.g i do my affidavit on the 24th November must the attestation at the NPC also be 24th November. Because NPC just gave me 8 working days before its ready.

[@meritiyke]

You're welcome It doesn't have to be the same date.

[@user-fl7ut8ce4s]

There are very few schools that accept that. You can go ahead and search for them and apply.

You can do an affidavit for change of name. Also you can attach the news paper to it.

[@rachaelaikhuomon2669]

So should I submit both the NPC birth certificate and the Age declaration for authentication at the MOF and verification at the embassy or just one of them will do?

[@meritiyke]

Yes! You should

[@Frau991]

Thanks for this update,please while booking an appointment if I make mistake on birthday and write 12th January instead 19th January, will it affect me from doing verification?

You don't need to verify Police character. You can't use photocopy. You will have to do birth attestation

[@happyedes3890]

what if am going with my husband is he going to authenticate any document?

[@akonuche_lionsDentalkstv]

If I was born in 1995, and I want to get the NPC today in 2024, will it be written that it was issued in 1995 or 2024, if 2024 do i need affidavit? Note: thsi is with regard to the date it was issued.

[@Frau991]

My sister thanks for this update, but what of in a case someone didnt go to school, like she dropped out in primary school and didn't attend bith secondary and university but has been a tailor, there is nothing to verify at ministry of education, can this pose a problem or threath to a family reunion visa.

[@meritiyke]

For family reunion, you need to legalize your marriage certificate, birth certificate etc...

Does it matter how your names are arranged on your documents? For example if on some documents it's surname, first name then middle name, while on others it's first name, middle name, then surname, others surname, middle name then first name. Is this a problem?

[@meritiyke]

Once the labelling of the names are not mixed, then it's fine.

[@videfx8257]

Thanks for the info sis. I have gathered all my documents to begin the process already. However, I am from cameroon.

Please my school said they don't issue official transcript to someone, they only send to an institution or organisation you want them to send to and the student copy they issue they wrote on it " student copy not for official use" so can I authenticate the student copy?
