Eidosky:
Some embassies and schools abroad reject laminated certificates. Reason is that the rubber used to laminate prevents the machine from reading the authenticity seal on it. I was a victim. I had to go through stress and expenses to get a new waec result since the original I laminated spoilt when I was trying to remove the laminate. Pls instead of laminating it, put it in the rubber but let them just seal the tip and not the whole body. So you can take it out anytime if required..

U can lie sha. Waec doesnt issue certificate twice ok.

Tony36:
some organisations, such as embassies, foreign school, etc attach so much importance to the security mark on certificates. Lamination makes it difficult to inspect/verify the security seal.

If an Organisation or foreign School authorities have a problem with a laminated certificate , they can verify from the school the employee or candidate attended.



Have u forgotten how fawler was exposed recently .

Yes it does, as a lot of institutions and governments bodies do not accept them. My father laminated our birth certificates and it has affected me in many ways. I had to get another letter as proof of my birth

Exactly, who go trust Nigerians wey fit use Toronto university 2 lie

Instead of laminating its better you make use of that clear bag to prevent moisture, besides one shouldn't be too rough when handling sensitive documents, even my open university certificate they started warning us the moment the certificate was awarded to us at the convocation ground that we shouldn't laminate it.

My Dear,

just scan all your Certificates and

save them in your Gmail, Yahoomail etc.

Then, go ahead and Laminates them.

I made mention of NYSC CERTIFICATE....

mike4zeal:
I once heard that some certificate are heat sensitive or sometimes changes colour when you press it. Therefore, laminating such certificates may affect it and so theoretically render the certificate void, although I am not entirely sure.

So true..Abeg don't I laminate ur cert. oo

The laminating machine overheated and hooked my NYSC cert. It was something else to get it out of that machine I was almost crying. Till today my NYSC cert if not smooth. Very rough lamination, reason why I have not laminated any other thing till today. Not even my children's birth certificate

mohammad11:
Such a good topic.
Be careful with those cert that have security seal on them BUT but others that doesn‘t have u can laminate.

If u think lamination is still a better choice then just seal the edges for future retrieval.

What of WAEC cert that had been laminated? Does it has a security seal? Do universities abroad demand for it to study a masters course?

No effect if u don't want 1.if u want to laminate anywhere,ensure d lamination machine is very cool,or may be like 6-10 laminations has been done B4 yours or better still let d machine cool down cos of course u cannot be in a hurry to laminate else if the machine gets hot it will burn your cerificate.simple. Hot-cool no probs.

I dey seriously vex with am. She no gree come bed last night.

Tony36:
Nothing happens to the certificate but the security mark is flattened out. The heat and pressure of the lamination machine wipes off the impression of security seal on any certificate.

Dat's de main reason NYSC warns against laminating ur call up letter, for easy verification of de seal, can remember very well how a gurl shedded her eyes out crying cos she was denied entrance into de camp,,reason; cos she laminated de letter

RedBenson:

Ur name na still sorry as we speaks cos when the time comes you will no....are you self employed or you re got a got already ? If yes then you re saved cos some hrm prefer to feel and see ur certs when not laminated. Aside that also with time heat will damage it..except all ur certs are heat proof. My only cert laminated is my "state of origin" aside all other cert is not laminated but enclosed in a film envelope which rain/water proof.
