Good day guys, what’s the prices for the new electronic passport ? Was checking it out online but couldn’t see any reasonable info

Can some one post the link for the passport thread on twitter? Thanks

A wonderful morning to everyone, please I need your advice I'm planning to go to the immigration office this week or next week insha'allah to apply for my passport. Please I need to know if it's advisable to go to their office or to apply online for it. My friend who work there always told me that they don't have booklets easy time that I call.

Same here pls, I want to apply for fresh passport and have called people that has link in Ibadan, Lagos, Akure and Ekiti but they are all saying there is no booklet on ground except if I want express collection whereby I will pay 40k for old 32pages or 90k for new 64pages passport. Pls do anybody has a link to anyone working in office where one can get it done in lesser price and collect it within a very short period of time.

I have an odd question, what if I can't find a guarantor?
Because I'm really far away from home now.

I guess you will have to go the typical Nigerian way. They will happily provide for you at NIS at a cost

Mehn,I should have opened this thread before going to the passport office at ikoyi. Actually somebody introduced me to NIS from my place of work. I was told to pay for 40k which I did. The officer collected the required documents and started jumping around like headless chicken. After the whole jumping around,I was given my file and asked to wait for capturing. While waiting to be captured I went through the file,all I could see were verifications,my signed court sworn form and unknown guarantor’s details and his driving license(photocopy) and the total expenses was 25k. After some minutes I was called by NIS to capture. After I was captured,I returned my file to NIS sitting at the exist of the capturing room,and he registered it. While he was registering it,he demands for a tip. I gave that one too 5h. I was told to come back this week but I will be going next week.

Naija my country!!!

So have you collected the passport bro. Just want to be sure the booklet scarcity does not affect you.

There is nothing like booklet scarcity in Lagos,I collected it on Tuesday.

Hi guys, I have someone who wants to renew her international passport and do name change too, and would like to go the DIY way.

Can this be done at Ikoyi NIS office?

Would she be required to get a guarantor too?

Aside from NIN, newspapers publication, sworn affidavit of name change, old int'l passport, two passport photographs, marriage certificate and biodata form, is there any other documents to be submitted?

Must the newspaper publication be original or photocopy will suffice?

Any idea of how long it takes?

Thanks

Corruption at the NIS is Unbelievable..!!

I got there after 8am and collected it before 10am. Though I met with one of the NIS and gave him my name and my enrollment number to help me check if it is ready. After like 10mins,he came outside and said it is ready that my name will be called soon for activation.

It is really, I went for my Interview/capturing on Friday... and I was attended well my the servicom lady, maybe because twitter directed me straight to the PROs office.
On getting to the PRO’s office she summoned for the lady at the servicom who then attended to me.
But you see those people at the long room. MAD O!!!
No one wanted to attend to me, they were all jumping around carrying one white file or the other, I almost cried, when I was going to raise my voice, one of the officer over the counter (a lady) started shouting too, “you better calm down, sheybi you decided to do it on your own, ehen, better calm down, because you haven’t even seen anything, yen yen yen”
Kai ... I almost cried.
Then in the capturing room, they kept on jumping the line and slotting people in, it was so annoying. They even had VIPs.
Like Naija which way now
I started to regret doing things the right way TBH, NIS should have an account here on Nairaland, so they can read people’s encounter. I felt really bad that day!
Doing things the right way sucks here in Nigeria and NIS officers completely promotes corruption.

Sorry about the not too cool experience, the lady described must be one of the two chubby ladies towards the last point in the long room heading for the capture room. The day I did mine, their displeasure was obviously shown on their faces.

Take consolation in the fact that it is done regardless and you haven't supported the decay in the system. Should more people take that bold step to DIY the system will eventually adjust itself to accommodate the changes and reform. I'm so sure you also met two or more officials of the NIS that also helped to direct you kindly aside the admirable Servicom lady.

Encourage more people to DIY still it might be rough and slow but it a burden we must bear to reset a lot of our government parastatals, agencies and ministries and encourage the reforms happening there.

She needs 3 passports
She will need to fill application letter and type an application form for change of name. Then get a file. The business centers around there should be able to help with that. She can check online if its there. She also needs photocopy of her husbands passport.

Dont feel bad dear. U saved a good sum plus we must not allow ourselves be duped all the time. Dont mind those people. I'm applying for change of name. Submitted today at alausa. When i asked the man for how long it will take he got upset and started shouting. Kept referring to the fact that i did mine online etc.
I wasn't even intimidated. I just looked at his name tag and memorised the name. God is on my side so they can't try nonsense. Anybody who has done change of name shoul pls reach out so ill know how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just to clarify, she will fill the application form online and also type another letter addressed to the NIS requesting for name change right?
