MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (MFA) DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION ASSISTANCE 

Premier Documents Ltd provides professional guidance and assistance for individuals who require document authentication for international use. Many documents intended for submission abroad must first be authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) before they can be accepted by foreign embassies, universities, immigration authorities, or international institutions.

At Premier Documents Ltd, we assist clients by preparing and submitting documents for authentication at the MFA office located at Tafawa Balewa House, Abuja, Nigeria. We act as professional consultants who handle the authentication process on behalf of our clients. This helps individuals avoid the stress, time, and travel involved in personally visiting the MFA office in FCT, Nigeria.

WHAT IS A MFA DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION?

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) authentication is the official process where the Nigerian government verifies that the signature, seal, or stamp on a document is genuine. Without this authentication, Nigerian documents such as birth certificates and attestations, death certificates, affidavits, police character certificate, certificates of origin, marriage certificates, academic certificates and transcripts, business and corporate documents and other official documents are generally not accepted by foreign embassies or institutions abroad.

Authentication ensures that Nigerian documents are recognized and accepted by foreign authorities.
