How to get a Nigerian Birth Certificate for your Baby

Congratulations!! I'm guessing you probably just had your bundle of joy.
The Nigerian Birth Certificate is issued by the National Population Commission.
You will be given a Birth Certificate at the hospital you give birth once you have completed all the necessary documentation.
You the proceed to the National Population Commission and it's pretty straightforward if you are Nigerian and gave birth in Nigeria. I cannot speak for other scenarios.
Birth Certificate Process (For Abuja)

• Go to National Population Commission (NPC), Masaka close, Zone 7
• The Birth Certificate is Free for the first 60 days after the baby is born
• You pay a #4000 if your baby is older than 60 days
• Documents Required: Birth Certificate/Notification from hospital & Valid ID
• You will be given a form to fill and submit
• It takes 2-3 days for the certificate to be ready and you'll get a call or an sms to come for collection
• Go for Collection of the Birth Certificate

It's best to process and collect your baby's birth certificate as soon as you can. It is the accepted proof that you are the parents of your baby and you will need it for any visa processing for international travel. You can scan it so you have a soft copy, laminate the hard copy and keep it in a safe place as your child will need it in the future.
