Mehn, that nigerian embassy in london is really crazy. I got there around 11:40am and didn't leave until around 8:40pm. I almost missed the intercity bus. Thank it's over. And I also thought the £20 postal order was for posting the epassport to your address but they said it's for processing. I wonder what the $65 fee was for. God will save us all. |

@skfa1 i think things have improved slightly since u created that thread i think if you have all your documentation you wil be ok its just the waiting that is the problem which is not reallty the embassys fault with loads of people always loosing their passport |

joxiri: I do understand you , but there is a way the UK home office is doing there own and all this waiting,stress and fight will not occure, so we need to do it that way too, u know what I mean? |
Re: Nigeria High Commision In London by joxiri: 12:29pm On Mar 12, 2010 |
that is a step too far now you cant compare uk homeoffice with niger we still have a long way to go besides uk home office charge huge fees and have very long waiting times for applications |

l applied online to renew my passport today (17th April) with the High Commission here in Londonand was given an interview date for 5th of July, 2010. l think the waiting time for interview is ridiculously too long. Does any one know whether l could probably reschedule for a nearer time please? |

Hello, Has anyone renewed his/her passport successfully in the UK? If so could you please provide me a list of the documents you used? According to the NIS online application form it says to take printed and signed application forms + 2 recent photos + payment confirmed + acknowledgement slip. I have all of these. But on the website it also says to take a Guarantor's form sworn before a commissioner of Oaths / Magistrate / High Court Judge + Local Government letter of identification + a Guarantor's (a) Photocopy of Data page of Nigerian standard Passport and (b) Driving License or National Identity Card. I don't have any of these. Any info or advice from someone who has renewed successfully in the UK will be much appreciated. Cheers |

Just got my new passport. The process was very easy, except it involved me travelling twice to London. Because I got little or no info online on how to go about the renewal, I've decided to tell my own experience. Perhaps it could help someone. These are the documents I took to my first appointment: 1) Copy of my completed and signed online application form 2) Copy of my acknowledgement slip 3) Copy of my payment confirmed slip 4) My old passport 5) £20 Postal order 6) 2 photos Contrary to the info on the application form, there is no need to take 2 photos. This is because the HC would take your picture and biometrics there. Very important: you have to go on the date of your appointment (as stated in your application form), whether or not that date is after the expiry date on your passport. I arrived at around 9:45am on the day of my appointment. There was a queue, but it moved very quickly. Some1 at the entrance checked my forms, and particularly highlighted my appointment date. Then, I was directed to a large room, where I was given a ticket number and simply waited until my number was called. When called, I presented those documents I've listed and then waited again until I was called to go upstairs to do my biometrics + photo. After this I was given another appointment date for the collection of my new e-passport. Very easy process. It took about 2 hours on my first appointment, and less than 45 minutes on my next. By the way, I got this extra info from 1 of the officials there: Those who are under 18 would need to include a guarantor’s form filled by their parents/guardian. They also have to include a photocopy of the guarantor’s passport data page. Also, very important: if you already have a Nigerian passport and you did not get it in the UK, they would check for your visas. If they don't find any visa, they would ask you how and where you got your passport. There’s 1 more point that was made about the passport for another category of people. Unfortunately, I do not remember it right now. So, this is my experience. Hope it helps someone. Cheers |
