Hi!
I have a problem regards to the date of birth on my WAEC certificate.
Instead of it to say 5/6/2004 it says 6/4/2004 with the error being with the day of my birth.
If I'm processing my Visa and want to do WES certification do I need to change it? Or do I need to swear affidavit?
If I'm in need of changing it, do it at the waec office in yaba and how would the process be like?

Waec don't do that anymore, affidavit should be better

So if I am going to the embassy I just need to carry the affidavit along?
Where do I swear affidavit?
Do you reside in lagos?
And is it also okay to do it for national i.d card?

Of you are going to the embassy go along with your biith Certificate and waec result

Okay!
You sound really confident in your answers and I really hope this won't affect my Visa application or lead to immediate rejection.
Do you have any peers that have done this and successfully got their visas?
Wishing you all the best!
