Abuja is the capital of Nigeria and its administrative center. When planning to go abroad for education, work, or tourism, the people of Nigeria should get their documents attested. In this process, the applicants have to pass through various steps for obtaining the certifications across the government departments and ministries. To make these proceedings simple, BVS Global provides professional attestation services in Nigeria.
When you are planning an immigration, you need to follow a detailed process of legalization. This procedure entails various levels of certifications across the government departments and ministries in the country of origin and destination country. The documents should obtain authentication certificates at these levels to prove their validity. These legal requirements usually differ according to the laws of each country. The Embassy officials may ask you for additional certifications in some cases. Using this procedure, you need attestation for your personal, educational, and non-educational documents.

Our Frequently Asked Questions
BVS Global has years of experience in handling attestation of valuable certificates and documents legitimately, keeping in mind the security concerns and customer requirements.
Certificate attestation and legalization are processes by which official documents issued in one country are validated for use in another country. This involves obtaining authentication certificates from various government departments and ministries to prove the validity of the documents.
The process involves several steps including notary attestation, authentication by relevant ministries (such as the Ministry of Education or Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and attestation by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. Requirements may vary depending on the type of document and destination.
Countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961 accept Apostille for document legalization. This simplifies the legalization process as it eliminates the need for embassy or consulate attestation.
The time taken for attestation and legalization varies depending on factors such as the type of document, the number of documents, and the requirements of the destination country. BVS Global can provide you with an estimate based on your specific needs.
BVS Global provides a range of immigration and citizenship services including assistance with permanent residency applications, citizenship applications, immigration visa processing, and consultation services for individuals and families.
