The Federal Government has launched a new digital platform that allows Nigerians to register births and deaths, apply for birth attestation, correct civil registration records and verify certificates online.
The platform was introduced by the National Population Commission and announced by the National Orientation Agency on Tuesday as part of efforts to digitise civil registration services across the country.
According to the NOA, the self-service platform is designed to eliminate the long queues and paperwork previously associated with obtaining birth and death certificates.
“Getting a birth or death certificate in Nigeria just got easier! You can also visit any NPC registration centre nationwide for assistance,” the agency said.
