Document Authentication in Europe
Nigerian embassies in Europe process a high volume of document authentication requests, particularly for educational certificates (WAEC, NECO, university degrees), marriage certificates, and powers of attorney. In the UK, documents must first be legalized by the FCDO before submission to the Nigerian High Commission. In EU countries, an apostille from the relevant national authority is required first.
See our document legalization guide for the full step-by-step process and country-specific requirements.
