WAEC Date Of Birth Made Easy
Over the years, it has been a custom every year for students to ask questions on if it is possible they can change the errors in their result or certificate such as errors in their names/Dob. It could be that it is a single initial in their names that is incorrect.
However, because of this, has rendered such certificates useless. Not only that, but errors in date of birth can also render a Certificate useless.
It is important to note that the arrangements in your names on your certificate must tally with other documents you might have. Failure to do this can make you lose your admission or delay the process of what you want to use that certificate for.
Also, Your date of birth must tally with the same date of birth in your other documents because, during clearance, these little things are what the school management will look after. If any error or issues is found, It can lead to a delay in the path of having a successful clearance on time.
