Description
Correcting your Date of Birth in Nigeria requires two important legal steps.
To ensure your new date of birth is recognized by government agencies, schools, banks, and other institutions, you must complete the proper legal documentation, including a sworn affidavit and a newspaper publication.
At Publish, we make the entire process simple, fast, and stress-free by providing you with valid documents that are accepted nationwide.
Why Do You Need a Date of Birth Correction Publication?
People correct their date of birth for several reasons, including:
-
Errors in official records (mistakes made during registration)
-
Mismatch on documents (e.g., birth certificate vs. school or bank records)
-
Correction for passport, NIN, BVN, or employment requirements
-
Compliance with institutional requests
To complete the correction process, you will need:
1. A Sworn Affidavit
This is a legal declaration confirming your correct date of birth and the need for correction. It serves as official evidence that the old date should be updated.
2. A Newspaper Publication
This provides a public record of your corrected date of birth. It is widely accepted by government agencies, banks, schools, and private institutions as supporting proof.
3. Birth Certificate or Age Declaration
Depending on the institution, you may also need your original birth certificate or an age declaration from a court to confirm your correct date of birth.
These documents together help you update and correct your information across all official platforms.
