While laminating my original waec result a bystander told me to stop laminating my certificates. Said some embassies wont take anything laminated from you incase you wanna travel out. Since then, I stopped laminating any of my documents.
Again, I remember a lady during my NySC. She laminated her call up letter and was turned back from registering into camp that day. You know they run the letter through one machine like that, to check its authenticity and the reg officer said he can't confirm it with the lamination.

Just recently, I faced an interview panel and the Manager advised me to go laminate all my documents. Said he had traveled the whole world and haven't heard laminated document are rejected.

Need your take on this.
Your input will help someone out there.

Me i laminate everything oo, even my ATM card is laminated

b4 i 4get... NA ME BE FIRST 2 COMMENT (F2C)

In this 21st century they are still putting documents in machinies to test its autencity? I can't leave important documents without lamenting. They should find another way of confirming the authenticity, maybe by using QR code. The QR code is way better, it is used for National identity card.

Abeg, do not laminate again. I stopped laminating at my WAEC. I haven't laminated anything else. What does the manager want with laminated certificate? Is he hanging it in his house? He should write to the original schools and get info on whether they are real or not.

When you get married at the registry, they will tell u not to laminate your wedding certificate cos embassies will not accept it. Also, when you register a baby's birth with NPC (located in local govts) they will tell u not to laminate.

^^ I guess am right on track then.
Thanks for your input.

I wonder why embassies don't accept laminated documents.

Well, na naija we dey, everything is possible.
