You will need to change it with NIMC. I'm surprised they didn't tell you that.

Tamee:


Hello. The bank that did my bvn used a wrong dob and gender, I went there to complain and they changed it, even printed a bvn slip for me with the corrected info. But on trying to get my NIN, I was told the correction did not reflect on NIMCs portal. What can I do to rectify this, can you help pls? Who do I pay? Do I need to go to Abuja?

Read previous tread. From previous tread, ALAUSA command seems to be the best for now. So I will advise you go there.

Ikoyi command is the most fraudulent and biased immigration command in Nigeria after owerri command ..
Pls people should avoid them

Some months ago, Ikoyi was the poster boy for DIY. Everyone was shouting Ikoyi. Now story has changed. Smh

Kimzylove:
Please for those who did NIN change of DOB did you get a new slip?

yes

GOOD DAY EVERYONE oo.
I captured (New) on the 16th of July, and I asked someone in Ikoyi to check the status of my passport. He said my status is AA- Affix Approved.

Please who knows what that means? I'll appreciate all responses.

UYO (AKWA IBOM STATE) Is actually the best place for one to get his International Passport

So I finally got my passport today!!!

Captured on 22nd June! Strictly DIY way. Total amount spent, was just 17,800 and extra 1K to the Officer to get me a court stamp in the Guarantor File (She just wanted me to dash her something) also paid 1K for National Population Certificate cause I couldn't find my birth certificate.


Picked up my Passport Today.
Roughly 5 weeks.

Thanks to everybody that contributed on this thread! I wish y'all success! And I hope and pray Nigeria would be better!

Please how do I get contact to do my passport in uyo it's urgent

I have finally gotten my passport!

Although it's not DIY
Passport Office: Warri
Captured on June18th
Passport issued on August 4th
Collected it today!

I did not receive any text from NIS to come for my passport. I waited for 6 weeks after my photo was captured.

Some persons were captured in July and came for their passport in August; I suppose it's as a result of the scarcity of passport booklets

[Please I'm in calabar, how do I go about the passport, the website to apply please I need help with the procedure . Thanksquote author=Maxwell1995 post=104603359]

*Stage 4*: Take the guarantor's form to court for stamp(they will collect 500 naira or 1k)

*Step 5*: Go to your selected centre for capturing
I used Ikoyi, Lagos State, so I will be using Ikoyi as an example.

*Doc to take to Ikoyi, passport office*

1. Application form

2. Acknowledgement form

3. Payment Receipt

4. Filled and stamp guarantors form with international passport DATA page and NIN slip or Drivers licence

5. 2 passport photograph (your own)

*Step 6*: When you enter Ikoyi passport office, by the right hand you will see a "Servicecom" sign, speak with any of the staff sitting inside the cubicle.

He/she will collect all your document vet it and return it with another documents and ask you to photo it and fill (make sure you photocopy it before filling)

After filling retire it to the "ServiceCom" person . He or she will open a file for you and write places you have to go for signing and stamping.

After stamping in one place, ask the person "where is next" politely and follow through the process.

When you're done with capturing, before stepping out of the capturing hall, a man will collect your file and register it.

After that, take your file back to the "ServiceCom" personnel and your DONE.

Ikoyi Office was used as a case study, if you’re within Lagos state Alausa Passport Office is highly recommended
Copied
