The 2018 Act, and a young system
Nigeria passed the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act in 2018, establishing a national commission and a framework of rights, and the implementing machinery has been building since.
So the certification system is newer and less uniform than in most countries on this list, and a Nigerian disability document may come from a state agency, a teaching hospital or a recognised organisation. We name the issuing body and describe the document for what it is.
Where the assessment comes from
Assessment in practice is by a teaching hospital or a specialist unit, and the report carries the physician's registration with the medical council.
State disability agencies in some states maintain registers and issue identification, and those are state documents rather than national ones. We name the state.
What the document is used for
Nigerian entitlements include employment quota provisions, accessibility obligations and educational support, and a document is frequently obtained for a specific purpose rather than as a general status.
So the document may state its purpose on its face, and we translate or transcribe that rather than presenting it as a general certificate.
English, and legibility
Nigerian documents are in English, so a translation is usually unnecessary — ask the office first, because many accept the original.
What is regularly needed is a certified transcription of a handwritten medical report or a certification of a poor scan. We transcribe what is legible and flag what is not. See our Nigerian birth certificate page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
