How to get Federal High Court affidavit online without visiting court

The Federal High Court has introduced an electronic affidavit portal, known as the Electronic Court Management System (ECMS) e-Affidavit Portal, enabling Nigerians to obtain affidavits online without needing to physically visit court premises. This digital platform allows applicants to register, complete necessary forms, upload documents, make payments, and download verified affidavits from anywhere with internet access.

The portal adheres to the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 to ensure secure and efficient service delivery. To apply for an affidavit online, users must first register on the portal using their full name, phone number, date of birth, email address, and password. After registration, applicants should log in, complete their profiles with personal details and upload required documents such as a passport photograph and identity card.

Once the profile is complete, applicants can choose the type of affidavit they need from a list of categories, including name changes, corrections of birthdates, loss of documents, identity matters, marriage, banking, and general purpose affidavits. After selecting the appropriate affidavit type, applicants can complete the required details, make payment, and download their verified affidavit after approval.
