Birth Certificate/Attestation of Birth

In Nigeria, under the 1992 Law (Births and Deaths, etc. (Compulsory Registration) Act, No. 69 of 1992, the birth of every child born in Nigeria must be registered by the Registrar of the National Population Commission or any person working under his authority.

The Compulsory Registration of Birth and death Decree of 1979 was a pilot program involving 4 States only in Nigeria, namely – Anambra (South East), Oyo (South West), Plateau (North East) and Kaduna (North West) States. NPC birth and death certificates were issued under the 1979 Law in these States only. The 1992 Law (Births and Deaths, etc. (Compulsory Registration) Act, No. 69 of 1992 was made to make the NPC birth and death registration be of Countrywide application.
