The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform, available as a web and mobile-based application, enables users to seamlessly access, share, and confirm WAEC certificates. However, discrepancies between the information on your digital certificate profile and your identification documents, such as your NIN, BVN, and International Passport may prevent you from accessing your certificate on the platform.  

If you are having troubles verifying your identity on the digital certificate platform because of a name change on your NIN, here is a step-by-step self-service guide to correct name errors or discrepancies on your NIN: 

Step 1: Access the NIMC Self-Service Portal 

Visit the self-service modification portal at selfservicemodificatio.nimc.gov.ng/ from your computer or mobile device. 

Step 2: Select the Correction Type 

Select the type of correction type you require Change of Address, Update Phone Number, Address, or Modify Date of Birth.

Step 4: Additional Requirements for Date of Birth Correction
