pls if you don laminate, don't ever try to remove it ooo, that's like from frying pan to furnace.
I read a report here last year, so I picked up my file, na waec cert my hand first pick, get razor, start to dey trim am, na so I noticed sey d paper don dey stuck to the film, I soak am for water make he commot but e no gree, na to spread am for sun oo, wen the thing dry, na to go relaminate am again cuz I can't afford having half laminated document.
As it stands, all my documents are laminated, any that comes afterwards won't be. So if you have done that, just pray the witches will be asleep when you need someone to make demand for it.

Hahahahahahahahaha grin angry grin

Laminating a certificate differs from institutions & organizations. But never try to laminate a certificate from University of Benin. OYO is your case. Even business centre owners there knows better.
why do you say so?

I was overwhelmed when i was handed my licence and certificate after my oath taking n convocation respectively. The next thing that crossed my mind was to go and protect it with a permanent, termite resistant lamination only for my happiness to b ruined at home. My cousin on seeing my laminated cert n licence told me that i ve rendered them useless that employees no longer accept laminated cert. I asked why n he said that fake cert are concealed by lamination as d genuiness can't b detected with a computer. I asked other people n they confirmed it. So if ur planning 2 laminate ur cert ask questions b4 dat. HOW TRUE IS THIS NAIRALANDERS COS I FEEL AWFUL NOW?
The genuiness of any certificate is determined by its serial plus reference number. Not a computer.

guy if a reputable employing firm wants to find out the genuity of ur cert they will run a background check on u. If found to be a fraud then u hv commited a criminal offence. So i see no harm in laminating ur certificates.

Back in the days when ordinary conqueror papers were used for certificates, one for sure can laminate...But now, most schools have some kinda security imprint on the paper which can't be seen with the nakëd eye..it was during my registration in NYSC camp that I got to know my undergraduate certificate had some other designs when placed under blue fluorescent light(that's what I saw tho). A guy was delayed for hours as his certificate was laminated and no special designs(security prints) could be detected under the blue light...
For me, I would suggest certificates shouldn't be laminated...Even my primary school certificate is still as new as received..rain and oil drops? I don't think that's an excuse to get a certificate laminated

How old are your certificates please?

Serious threats & potential mutilators of ur certificate surround u left and right; serious-minded potential employers come once in a while. Laminate ur certificate and protect it. [/b] Reputable employers verify ur certificate from d issuing authority/institution even without ur knowledge. [/b]I rest my case.
At Emboldened.... You're very right.

....We all know that lamination of a document is irreversible. Most people in support of lamination of certificates are those who have already laminated theirs. Since, lamination of has potential demerits (employer skepticism in the authenticity of said documents)
I advice we do not laminate documents. After all, lamination isn't the only way to preserve documents.

My late grandpa 's unlaminated documents are still intact.(including his first sch.leaving cert issued in 1943... 73yrs ago!)

It is equally safe to scan all your certificates and store them in your email.

i know. But some coutries use some kind of verification service before u can even get visa n admission.That's 4 masters. In d case of work in my line of field ur certificate is not that necessary, it's mainly certification and what u can do.
