Hello fellow Nairalanders,

I am looking for some help. I am in the US and applied for a renewal of my passport at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC here in the US. I applied on March 3 and it was supposed to be mailed to me on June 3rd but till now it has not been mailed and I have been unable to get in touch with the embassy to even get an update on the passport, which I need URGENTLY. Please does anyone know anyone that works there? I will appreciate help on this. Thanks.

You have nothing to worry about if you have really made the necessary arrangements to get your passport mail to you. You would get your passport in the address box you provided. You may check with the address provided to them. Besides, you know how things are at this time, delay of whatsoever should be expected. Shalom

It is a question of when and at least be able to get an update. I am in a foreign country, literally can't do A LOT of things without it. I don't even know if my passport has been processed or not. They just cannot be reached at all. If you know anyone there (or any other Nigerian embassy in the US), I will appreciate a connection. Thanks.

One of the most efficient ways I've found to process a Nigerian Passport in the U.S. is through the local Nigerian Association (or local Nigerian tribal association) in your state. I don't know what state you're resident in, but in my state, the Nigerian Association brings members of the consulate from either NY or DC to a central city in the state to process passports every year. The officials of the Nigerian Association have direct contacts/access and can help you make inquiries.

Thanks, I was going to do that but they only come here like once a year and I could not wait for that. Anyways, I finally found a way around and I should get my passport today.

Na wa o. But you weren't looking for a PM answer when you opened this thread o.

I hope this is still valid, but if anyone has any information on how to expedite getting a passport in Washington, please kindly send me a PM as well. Thanks

Help me if your contact worked. I need to renew my passport. Thank you

Hi @EngrSarah, Please can you send me a PM too? I recently did my capturing for my passport last week and I had a question on expediting the process of getting my passport. Also, does it matter if your middle name is not on your passport payment slip? No one said there was an issue with that at the Washington embassy but my friend said that it is important and I don't want to wait till June without any information on that. please send me a PM, I have not been able to reach the embassy as calls go to voicemail and they do not respond to emails.
