I have no idea.

But firstly, do you want to retain his surname or not?
Is your NIN details in his surname?

If not, it's going to be a very long process for you as you'll have to change your name first (costing you money).

But if you don't mind using his surname, just state that you are married then all process remains the same.





But then, once you get married later, you may want to change your name again. Hence, if you avoid it now, you may need to do it later in the future.

Toplap:


Lol, okay this is well noted thank you.

@ Themmiee21, I can't help but I think you should leave your marital status as married since you are not officially divorced, technically it means you are still married.

Indicating you are separated in the application may mean a lot of hoops to jump through and documentation to provide. That's an additional layer of wahala on top of a process that is not so easy or user friendly to begin with and your own is even fresh passport again, not renewal.

Themmiee21:
I really appreciate your prompt response @ IntrovertGuy. I am sorry i forgot to add that we bear the same surname so my name remain the same from birth only for my NYSC cert that has his other name included when the officials during my NYSC then insist i add one of his name if we are married in order for me to get relocation then.

Will my application as single with kids not give any issues pls?

I appreciate your response once again.

IntrovertGuy:


Lol. NYSC is not needed here.

NIN is the very important document. Which name do you have on your NIN?

I think you should declare as married. If you choose divorce, you need to back it up.
If you choose single, the "moral" officers may be asking how you got 2 children, for the fact that you may be needing a consent letter too.

Choose Married and you can tender the marriage certificate if proof is needed.

Themmiee21:
Thank you Boss, na man u be, ur responses are quite helful.

I had forgotten this is not the Visa application thread the NYSC part was for Visa application.

Appreciate you sir, meanwhile can i get a consent letter sample, no vex say my wahala much oo loll.

wowdiva:

I was at Ikoyi last week for renewal. You will need your NIN slip, make copies of it. 3 passport photographs and your old passport, the biodata page of your old passport. I will advise you make copies from home. You will also need to write a letter to the PCO on an A4 paper, request for a renewal of your passport.

@IntrovertGuy,

I doff my hat sir

IntrovertGuy:


Wear am back

Themmiee21:
Lolllllssss

I guess the addressee's address will carry the state one is submitting the application from or is it constant? i.e Ikoyi for whichever state one is applying from.

DPapilo:
Gwagwalada seems to be fast. Book now and get 15th for capturing. Before now, it used to be less than a week...

Production date is very fast and DIY friendly.

From your post in reply to me, I thought you had done your renewal at Ikoyi already. If you choose Alausa now, won't you have to pay another renewal fee? Someone suggested I go to Abeokuta I can do everything in one day and get my passport asap.

Unfortunately I had already paid and chose Ikoyi as processing center being the one closest to me, before I got that information. I was given 12th April for capturing but after reading comments and seeing that a reschedule is possible I went back to the portal and was able to reschedule to 31st March. It is still far but better than my first date.

Another concern I have is that, once you are captured in their system via online application and you have paid, it may be hard to apply and pay again for a different state/center. I don't know but this has been on my mind. With the fuel scarcity and traffic gridlock all over Lagos I don't even want to start stressing about changing processing center now to another center or state

Solatium:



How many photocopies of the following are needed to make renewal.
1..NIN SLIP.
2... PASSPORT DATA PAGE.
3....RENEWAL DOCUMENTS i e PAYMENT RECEIPT, APPLICATION PRINTOUT & APPOINTMENT SLIP.
and lastly do they require any photocopy of any expired Visa on that passport.
thank you

Parko:
Please for those that did theirs at Festac Passport office is there a mobile stamp station there?

Delta state is the worst state I guess.

SIRTAYLOR:
Please what's the difference between enrollment number and application ID?
I messaged immigration office on twitter and they said I should provide my enrollment number. Is it same with the application ID sent to my mail or the number that was given to me after capturing?
