As a Nigerian living in Europe, can I obtain the e-passport in any Nigerian Embassy within Europe?

Yes, typically, as a Nigerian resident in Europe, you would apply for an e-passport at the Nigerian embassy or consulate responsible for the country where you reside. However, if that particular embassy or consulate is unable to issue you an e-passport, you can obtain an introduction letter from them addressed to another Nigerian Mission within the area. With this introduction letter, you can then apply for the e-passport at the Nigerian Mission specified in the letter. This procedure ensures that you can obtain your e-passport even if the embassy or consulate in your country of residence does not have the facilities to issue it.For more guidance, check Nigeria Embassy portal.

"If you've lost your birth certificate or never had one, you typically can't obtain one from an embassy. Birth certificates are issued by the relevant authorities in the country where you were born, such as hospitals or government agencies like the National Population Commission in Nigeria.

However, embassies may provide alternative documents that can serve a similar purpose. In the case of Nigeria, the embassy might offer a "Declaration of Age" affidavit, which can be used as proof of age in various situations. You would need to visit the Nigerian embassy in person and provide your Nigerian passport or a copy of the data page. They may charge a fee for this service.

It's important to note that while this affidavit can be useful, it may not be accepted in all situations where a birth certificate is required. Always check with the relevant authorities or institutions to confirm what documentation they accept."
