very simple and short.
1. Go to waec office and they will tell u how to draft the affidavits.
2. Take the later to court to type n sign as affidavits
3. Return to waec office for them to stamp and minute on it......................
4. Attach the original to ur waec result n use it wherever u go.
Note: just like ur NYSC certificate no body will change the result for u.
Thank u


op this guy have said it all. a friend of mine once had same problem , and he did exactly as the guy I quoted

Dear fellow Nairalanders,

I want to use this platform to seek for your advice on this issue: when I collected my WAEC certificate two years ago, I discovered a mistake on the date of birth the certificate carries. According to what appears on the certificate, I am three years older than my actual age - the birth day and month don't even correspond. Then, I ignored it, hoping I'd do something about it later. I never realized the likely challenge it was going to pose until I got an invite to come and write a test for a job I applied for (I'm a graduate now). At the test center, one of the men in charge spotted the DOB on my WAEC certificate and called my attention to it, demanding an explanation as it was different from what appeared on my CV. I told him it was a mistake from WAEC and he immediately wrote on my CV with a red ink, advising me to take it back to WAEC office for correction and rectification. At that spot, I doubted my chance of getting shortlisted among the successful candidates.

My question now is: which of the WAEC offices do I return it to? The state where I wrote the exam or any of WAEC offices in the country? Some persons suggested that I should swear an affidavit to back up my real age and ignore the mistake on the certificate. Is this appropriate or what do you suggest I can do? Your candid pieces of advice are warmly welcomed. Thanks anticipatorily for your contributions.

Bruh, how far? Did you later solve the issue and did you still get the job?

I'll appreciate your quick response. Thanks.

@ Hybekay004 you need to go to WAEC office opposite YABATECH, they ll correct the mistake on the certificate for you. That is they ll collect the copy with the wrong DOB on it and provide a new copy with a corrected DOB.

Be prepared though its a cumbersome process. You might likely be frantically shuttling between their YABA Office to their Ogba Office.

It happened to me too.

It can take about 3-4 months of serious running around.

I wish you all the best.

Cheers.
pls wat are the processes involved?

How to change name/date of birth in WAEC result: WAEC understands that we are all human beings and we make mistakes sometimes. That is why they made it possible for students who entered wrong names/date of birth during WAEC registration to change those wrong details. More so, you will agree with me that having a wrong name or date of birth in any of your certificate is capable of rendering that certificate useless. For instance, it is probably impossible to gain admission in any national or foreign institution where your name in both your certificate of birth and your WAEC certificate does not tally.

Not only is it important that the names in your certificate must be correct. It is also very important that they follow the same sequence. So you see, the chances of making mistake is very high. However, thank God that WAEC now allow for correction of results. In this short tutorial, i will be showing you how to change your name/date of birth in WAEC certificate. This applies to both WAEC GCE results and school results.

Note that i am not trying to brainstorm a solution for students who have wrong names and date of birth in this post. Everything here has been certified by the West African Examination Council (WAEC). To be frank, i got this solution from the Twitter handle of WAEC when they where answering questions of students.

So don't panic. This is the best and most reliable solution if you have wrong name/date of birth in your WAEC certificate. Now here we go!
