How NaijaVerify Works
Four clear stages from your request to a verified certificate. No jargon. No hidden steps.
Submit Your Request
Choose your service type, enter the property address, and upload any documents you have. No documents? No problem — many clients start with just an address. Our team will tell you if anything else is needed.
Typical time: Under 3 minutes
Receive Your Invoice
Our ops team reviews your request and sends a clear, itemised invoice. You will see two line items: the government registry fee (what the state charges) and the NaijaVerify service fee (what we charge). No hidden costs. No surprises. You pay securely through Paystack.
Typical time: Within 24 hours
Licensed Professional Verifies
A licensed Nigerian lawyer or surveyor — not a private investigator — physically visits the relevant government registry on your behalf. They conduct the search, charting, or retrieval exactly as a lawyer acting for you would. Every step is recorded.
Typical time: 5–15 working days
Receive Your Certificate
When the verification is complete, you receive a blockchain-anchored certificate with a unique public URL. Send that link to your bank, lawyer, or family — they can verify it independently without logging in. No PDFs that can be forged. No reports that require trust.
Typical time: Same day as completion
What is a blockchain-anchored certificate?
A traditional verification report is a PDF. It can be edited, forged, or fabricated. You have no way to know if the document you received is the same one that was created.
A NaijaVerify certificate is anchored to a tamper-proof record at the moment of issuance. The certificate has a public URL that anyone can open — without logging in — to independently confirm the verification happened. If anyone alters the certificate after issuance, the anchor breaks and the tampering is detectable.
Common Questions
Do I need to be in Nigeria?
No. NaijaVerify is built for diaspora Nigerians. Submit from London, Houston, Dubai — anywhere. Our licensed partners do the physical work at the registry.
What if the property fails verification?
We charge for the process, not the outcome. If the verification reveals issues with the title, that is valuable information that could save you from a bad investment.
Will my bank accept this certificate?
The certificate includes a public verification URL that any institution can check independently. We are actively working with Nigerian banks and law firms to establish formal acceptance.
