While the International Passport is the ultimate travel proof of citizenship, this affidavit is often the foundational document used to obtain that passport or to prove eligibility for quotas (like federal appointments or admission lists).
Content
The deponent declares their parents' names, their Local Government Area (LGA) of origin, and their State of origin.
It effectively traces the lineage of the individual to a specific indigenous community in Nigeria.
It is frequently required when the "Certificate of Indigene" from the Local Government chairman is delayed or unavailable.
