Questions, answered

Docufast is an online platform for documents and compliance in Nigeria. We prepare affidavits, place newspaper publications, handle CAC registration and filings, and keep your finished documents in a secure vault. You tell us what you need in plain words, and we do the paperwork.

Docufast Integrated Services Ltd, a Nigerian company founded by Ajibola Adeboye, with its registered office at Suite 100, Adebola House, 38 Opebi Road, Ikeja, Lagos. We work online only, with no walk-ins.

Yes. Docufast Integrated Services Ltd is CAC registered (RC 1893484), SCUML registered (SC251840209), NDPC registered (NDPC/DCP/07770) and SMEDAN registered. You can check our CAC record yourself on the CAC public search.

It is a fair question, and you should ask it of any online service. Check our registration numbers, pay only on docufast.ng, and use Verify Docufast to confirm any document we issue is genuine. We never ask you to pay into a personal account.

No. Docufast is a document and compliance services company. We prepare and process documents, but we do not give legal advice or represent you in court. If your situation needs a lawyer, we will tell you.

Yes, for CAC registration, filings, publications and the vault. Some affidavits need you to appear before a commissioner for oaths, so we confirm what is possible for your case before you pay. Remote notarization for diaspora clients is coming soon.

1. Tell us what you need in the chat on docufast.ng, in English, Pidgin, Yorùbá, Hausa or Igbo, or start on WhatsApp.
2. Get your itemised price on screen within 1 minute, fixed once you accept.
3. Add your photo and documents, and verify your identity where the service needs it.
4. Create your account and pay, only on docufast.ng.
5. We prepare and process your documents, and a person checks every one. You follow each step on your order tracker.
6. Your finished documents arrive in your Docufast account. Affidavits carry the court's own seal and QR code.

No, for most services. We handle the court, the newspaper and the CAC portal for you. If your case needs you in person, we tell you before you pay.

The homepage chat gives guided answers to common questions and helps you find the right service. A person checks every document before it reaches you, and you can talk to our team on WhatsApp at any point.

Type your situation in plain words, such as "my name is spelled wrong on my certificate" or "I lost my SIM". The chat points you to the right service. If it can't, our team will help on WhatsApp.

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at 0905 495 1918, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm WAT.

You can chat and get a quote without one. You create an account when you pay, because your account is where your order is tracked and your documents are delivered.

Sign in to see every step of your order with a time on each one. We also message you when anything changes.

A written statement you swear is true, signed before a commissioner for oaths. Banks, schools, embassies, NIMC, telecoms and employers ask for affidavits to confirm things like your name, age or a lost document.

Yes. Request it on docufast.ng or WhatsApp. We prepare the affidavit, a person checks it, and it is sworn before a commissioner for oaths. The finished affidavit is delivered to your vault.

• Name: change, correction, confirmation, addition or removal, re-arrangement, and combined correction of name and date of birth
• Birth and age: age declaration (adults and minors), correction of date of birth
• Loss: general loss, workplace ID, SIM card, JAMB profile SIM, international passport, driver's licence, vehicle documents
• Marriage: bachelorhood or spinsterhood, declaration of marriage, dissolution of marriage
• Death: release of corpse
• Student: loss of school ID, confirmation of result, good conduct, support or sponsorship
• Status: change of car ownership, change of residence, change of signature

Your affidavit is a proper court affidavit, sworn before a Commissioner for Oaths, and it carries the court's seal and QR code. If an organisation has special rules, tell us and we will check before you pay.

Standard affidavits are delivered within 2 to 3 working days of a confirmed order with everything we need. Express affidavits are delivered the same day when the order is confirmed before 2 PM on a working day.

Usually a valid ID (NIN slip, international passport, driver's licence or voter's card) and the details the affidavit states. We confirm the exact list for your case before you pay.

Yes. Age declarations and other affidavits for minors are sworn by a parent or guardian, and we verify the guardian's identity (NIN or BVN).

Check the draft carefully before it is sworn. If we made the mistake, we fix it free. If the information you gave was wrong, a new affidavit is needed at the standard price.

Change of name, loss of documents, and incorporated trustees (NGO, church and association) notices in national daily newspapers.

Yes. Send us your affidavit with your request. A person checks it first, because the newspaper notice must match your affidavit word for word. If your affidavit can't be used, we tell you before you pay and offer to prepare a fresh one in the same order.

We prepare and swear the affidavit, then place the newspaper notice, all in one order. Both documents arrive in your vault.

You choose. Your quote lists the national dailies we publish in, each with its price, and you pick one. If an organisation asks for a specific newspaper, choose that one.

Usually 24 to 72 hours after your order is confirmed, depending on the newspaper's publication days.

We deliver a copy of the published notice to your vault, ready to download and share.

If the mistake is ours, we republish at no cost. Check the wording we show you before it goes to the paper.

Most replacements need an affidavit of loss, and some also need a loss notice in a newspaper. Tell us what you lost and who is replacing it, and we will prepare what they ask for.

Your network usually asks for an affidavit of loss of SIM card and a valid ID. We prepare the affidavit, and you take it to your network's office for the replacement.

Yes, but we must carry out extra identity checks first. These are required by anti-money laundering rules, and they may take a little longer.

We prepare the affidavit of loss. The replacement itself is handled by the Nigeria Immigration Service.

Yes, but the affidavit is sworn by the person who lost the document. We verify their identity during the order.

A business name suits a sole trader or partnership: simple, but you are personally liable for the business. A private limited company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity, which protects your personal assets and is usually needed for larger contracts, investors and some licences. Not sure? Tell us about your business and we will explain the options.

Send us your proposed business names, a valid ID and your address. We run the name search, file with the Corporate Affairs Commission and deliver your certificate to your vault.

Proposed company names, details and ID for each director and shareholder, the share capital, your business address and what the company will do. We ask for share capital first because it affects the CAC fee and stamp duty.

Yes, as incorporated trustees. This includes the newspaper publication CAC requires. We guide you through trustees, constitution and other requirements.

Anti-money laundering rules require us to verify the identity of anyone we file for. It is a quick check with your NIN or BVN and a selfie, and it happens before you pay so you never pay for an order we can't file. Every director named on the filing verifies too: we send each one a link by SMS or WhatsApp, and payment opens once everyone is done. Verified with us before? You can reuse that check with your consent.

Your certificate and registration documents, delivered to your vault. Your company's annual return reminders are switched on automatically.

Yes. We handle company amendments, including directors, registered address, name and share capital. CAC fees for each change are shown on your quote.

A yearly filing every registered business name, company and incorporated trustee must make with CAC, even if the business did not trade that year.

Late filing attracts penalties for each year missed. Businesses that stay out of compliance can be marked inactive, which blocks other CAC filings, and can eventually be struck off the register.

Yes. We check your status, file every outstanding year, and pay CAC fees and penalties on your behalf. Your quote shows each year and each penalty separately.

Use Check my company on our homepage. Share your RC or BN number and we check your CAC status, annual returns and strike-off risk, then tell you what is due. The check is free. A director, the company secretary, or someone acting for the company with a signed authorisation letter can then order the fix.

Yes. We remind you 90 days before your CAC annual returns and other filing dates: by email on every plan, and by WhatsApp and email on Vault Business. You can also switch on auto-file, and we prepare your CAC annual return when it falls due and file it once you approve the quote.

For affidavits, publications, business names, companies and incorporated trustees, yes: one all-inclusive price. For annual returns, amendments and status reports, CAC fees and any penalties are shown as separate lines on your quote, because they differ for each business.

A payment processing fee is added at checkout. Your quote shows it, and the amount to pay, before you pay.

No. Your quote shows every charge before you pay, including the payment processing fee, and the amount to pay. If anything changes before you pay, you get a new quote.

Yes. Our payment provider charges a fee on every payment, and you pay it at checkout. It is shown on your quote, with the amount to pay, before you pay.

The fee is about 1.5% of your total plus NGN 100, and never more than NGN 2,000. On totals under NGN 2,500 there is no NGN 100. For example, a NGN 4,000 affidavit has a NGN 163 fee, so you pay NGN 4,163.

If you get a refund because of us, for example we cannot start your order for a reason on our side, we refund the fee too. If you cancel, the fee is not refunded, because our payment provider keeps it.

48 hours. After that, ask for a fresh quote in the chat, because government fees can change.

Only on docufast.ng, by card, bank transfer, USSD or Pay with Bank. If you chat with us on WhatsApp, we send you a link to your quote on docufast.ng.

No, never. Docufast never asks you to pay into a personal account, and our WhatsApp team will never send you bank details. If anyone does, do not pay, and report it to us.

Yes. Payments are processed by a licensed payment provider. Docufast never sees or stores your card number.

Yes. A receipt is emailed to you and saved in your account as soon as payment is confirmed.

Yes. The price on your quote includes VAT.

When you pay for your first order. Chatting and getting a quote need no account.

Your account holds legal documents and ID. Two-step sign-in means someone who steals your password still cannot get in. Every Docufast account uses it.

After your password, you enter a 6-digit code from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, or a code we send by SMS.

A spare key to your vault, shown once when you create your account. Files you upload are locked with a key only you hold. If you forget your password, the recovery code is the only way to open them.

You can still reset your password and use your account. But files you uploaded yourself cannot be opened again, by you or by us. Documents Docufast prepared for you can be re-issued after an identity check, for a fee based on your Vault plan.

Because we never hold your key. That is what keeps your uploads private, even from our own staff. The trade-off is that only you can recover them.

Somewhere safe and offline: printed in a file at home, or in a password manager. Do not keep it only on the phone you sign in with.

Tap "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page. We send a reset link to your email or phone. To keep access to your uploaded files, you will also need your recovery code.

No. WhatsApp is for support and updates only. Sign-in always happens on docufast.ng.

One account holds both. Your vault has separate Personal and Business sections, and each business has its own deadline reminders.

Your private, encrypted space for every document we deliver and any files you choose to upload. You can view, download and share them from any device.

We remind you 7 days and 1 day before. If you don't choose a plan, the file is deleted. Its verification record stays, so anyone holding a printed copy can still confirm it is genuine. Download your documents before the 30 days end.

Both keep your documents for as long as your plan is active. Vault Business adds WhatsApp deadline reminders for that business and includes free re-issues each year.

Only you. Files you upload are encrypted with a key only you hold. Documents we prepare are handled only by the staff working on your order, then sealed into your vault.

We recommend sending the verification link. They confirm your document is genuine without receiving a copy. If they need more, share the document as a credential: you choose what they can see, the link ends after 1, 3 or 7 days, and you can cancel it anytime. Every open is logged.

Yes. The activity log shows every view, download and share, and when a verification link was opened.

Yes. Keep your ID, old certificates and other papers in one place. Only you can open them.

Affidavits we deliver are sworn through the Lagos State court system and carry the court's own seal and QR code. Documents we deliver from November 2026 also carry a Docufast Delivery Certificate with a QR code: anyone can scan it, or enter its verification ID at docufast.ng/verify, to see that it is genuine and not revoked. For a document delivered before then, message us with its order reference.

No. It confirms the document is genuine and when it was issued. It never shows the content of the document.

No. Verification is free and open to anyone, with no sign-up.

Do not pay. Docufast never asks for payment into any account in a chat. Report the number to us on 0905 495 1918 and we will warn others.

Check that the address is exactly docufast.ng with the padlock in your browser. We do not use any other web address for payments.

Treat it as not genuine and contact us with the reference number. We investigate every failed check.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every account uses two-step sign-in. Files you upload are encrypted on your device with a key only you hold. Every access to your records is logged.

Yes. Docufast is registered with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC/DCP/07770) and follows the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

Only the staff working on your order, and only what they need to complete it. They cannot open files you upload yourself.

For CAC filings and some affidavits, the law requires us to verify your identity. We use a licensed verification partner and only with your consent. We never sell or share your data for marketing.

Only if you say yes. Marketing consent is separate from your order, and you can switch it off anytime.

Yes. Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act you can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion. Email privacy@docufast.ng. Some records must be kept by law, and we will explain which.

At docufast.ng/privacy.

Each service shows its usual time on your quote. Affidavits: within 2 to 3 working days, or the same day with Express. Publications: usually 24 to 72 hours. CAC filings depend on CAC's processing times, and we update you at every step.

We tell you why, fix what we can at no cost, and refile. If CAC needs something from you, we say exactly what.

Yes. A person reviews every document before it is sworn, filed, published or delivered. Their review is logged on your order.

Message us on WhatsApp at 0905 495 1918 or email support@docufast.ng with your order number. We reply within 1 working day and aim to resolve within 5 working days.

Yes. Companies use Docufast for staff affidavits, CAC filings and compliance tracking across several entities. Corporate accounts with 10 or more orders a month get a discount on our fees.

Yes. Add each business to your vault and every one gets its own deadline reminders and document space.

Digital notarization is coming soon. You will be able to have documents notarized over a secure video session, with an electronic seal recognised under the Notaries Public Act 2023. Join the waitlist to hear first.

Coming soon. We will help you complete your National Population Commission application for birth registration, birth attestation, certificate reprints, reissue and verification, record corrections and death notification. With your consent, we check your details before anything is sent to NPC, and you follow every step on your tracker. Message us on WhatsApp if you need one now.

Not today. Our compliance reminders cover tax deadlines, and tax filing support is being considered.

Yes. Choose English, Pidgin, Yorùbá, Hausa or Igbo at the top of the home screen, and the chat and the main screens switch to your language. You can change it at any time.

No. Affidavits, CAC filings and other official documents are prepared in English, because that is the language courts and government agencies accept. Before you approve anything, the chat explains what the document says in your language.

Native speakers write and check every translation. We do not rely on machine translation alone for anything you read before you sign or pay.

No. docufast.ng works in the browser of any Android phone or iPhone, including small and older screens. There is nothing to download.

No. A full affidavit order, from the home screen to your vault, uses under 2 MB of data, not counting the photos and files you upload. We shrink your photos on your phone before they upload.

Nothing is lost. Your order saves as you type. Open the link in your SMS, email or WhatsApp update, or sign in on any device, and continue from the same step. An upload that was cut off continues from where it stopped.

Partly. Your order tracker and your vault list show what they showed on your last visit. Opening or downloading a document needs a connection.

No. Once you have verified with us, you can reuse that check on later orders. We ask your permission each time, and we ask you to verify again only when the law or the service requires it.

Every PDF we deliver from November 2026 starts with a Docufast Delivery Certificate carrying a QR code and a verification ID. Anyone you share it with can scan it, free and with no account, to confirm it is genuine, unchanged and not revoked. Affidavits also carry the court's own seal and QR code.

Yes. In your account, open Identity, agents and access, and give them access. You choose what they can do and until when, and you can revoke access at any time. Everything they do is recorded in your activity log.

Yes, if you allow it. Approve the assistant in your account and set what it may do, with a spending limit for each order. It can get quotes, place orders within your limit and track them, but every payment still needs you on docufast.ng.
