Am abt to go pick up my passport since is ready but I heard they aren't issuing the e passport after production unless one upgrade it. So please has anyone upgrade theirs to the new e- passport? How do I go abt it without those officers billing me?
Please is urgent.

aieromon:


Below. Capture centre is Gwagwalada

Toplap:
Aieromon, pls if you check your passport status online (after capturing) and the result says application not found, is that cause for alarm or is that a technical inefficiency typical of our govt institutions?

giselle237:
passport is ready for pick up you say, what again with upgrade? Pls all Nigerian passports issued by immigration service are accepted worldwide. Go and pick up

aieromon:


Online status does not apply to applications that have been processed.

For renewal, count 4 weeks max post capture while for new applications, count 6 weeks max post capture before you go back to check if the booklet is ready for collection.

bukhety:
DIY, Alausa since March 10. I am yet to get a mail that it is ready. I went there on the collection date, April 14, and they said it's not ready! Na wa!

Themmiee21:
Good afternoon All,

Please I am about notarizing my guarantor form for capturing next Tuesday @ Alausa and I was just told High courts are on strike in Ibadan.

Does anybody know if they aren't on strike in lagos and which high court I can get it notarized seamlessly in lagos?

Thank you in anticipation of your kind responses.

SC31:

You can get it done at Ikeja high court, did mine on Wednesday

Ifeoba:



Since your uncle works there and I want to believe he helped you with the process then he should also be able to help you check whenever your daughter's passport is ready.

As at yesterday, a lot of people collected their passport and there was no complain.

PaulOtl:

You see! This confirms my claim.

And, awww...I know those kinds of fond memories from when one was skind of younger, right....
Well, that's fine. Glad you felt nostalgic tonight, and that it was because of something I did or said!

donbabchizy:
He is the one that keep saying booklets is not available but I am having this doubts and feelings .anyway thank u so much.

Venekconsultt:
Yeah ,,+ the interesting match between madrid n city crowned it all. Hahha

tojahh:


Hopefully you get a valid response here soon. Mine will expire in July and I have already started the renewal process.

Ifeoba:
Applicants whose capturing date fell on public holidays (2nd & 3rd) were attended to at Aluasa Lagos today. The crowd was much and today's rain delayed. 2nd and 3rd appointment are giving the privilege to come tomorrow and Friday.

DIY is fine at Aluasa, Lagos if:
1. You will be patient. The process may take the entire day but you will be verified and captured that same day if you don't have issues.

2. NIN is very compulsory. That's the first thing they will verify. The spelling, arrangement of your name and DOB on your NIN must be the same with what you have on your passport if you are renewing. They have sitting room for DIYs as long as it's your appointment date.

3. If you're a fresh applicant, make sure your NIN is verified before coming for your appointment.

4. If you're DIY, don't expect any officer to help you out. They will only direct you but you will get all the info you need from your fellow applicants.

5. Lastly, you will get your collection date on the final slip they will give you after capturing.

This info is for Aluasa center in Lagos. Thanks.

Ifeoba:


If it is re-issue you apply for, just count 4 weeks after your captured day before you go for collection. If it is new passport, just count 6 weeks minimum. For either Fresh or re-issue you can add few more days or weeks after the weeks I mentioned earlier before you appear for collection.

DIY requires a lot of patient between application and collection. It's not advisable for applicants who want magic in the process.

Please where can I get Local Government Of Origin Certificate or State Government Of Origin Certificate. I'm from Imo state but based in Lagos.

I went to a local government near my house in Lagos and they were clueless about it.

I need help.

Hi guys. I have want to give an update. I returned to the Ikoyi immigration office yesterday (Tuesday) because I got an email on Sunday that my son's NIN did not verify. Immediately, I got another email that his payment was accepted. This was confusing so I used Monday to call someone in NIMC office Abuja to verify the NIN and went to immigration on Tuesday. When I got there, I went to servicom and spoke with the guy who helped us with name change. I had called him all day on Monday but the guy was not responding well to me. Which kain thing be this? When I got there, he checked the system for mine and my son's passport. Bot were accepted so he asked me to disregard the email I got.

Some guy gave him enrollment number, he captured in January. Dude asked when he could expect this passport, the servicom guy said the dude's way is still far.

Then I asked him when should i expect to collect in the best case scenario. Dude smiled and said he is hopeful for June. Hahahahahahaha, we have a family trip in may, we are yet to buy tickets and prices are climbing daily. Oga, o need these passports by end of April.

So dude asked me to pay 10k each and that I'd get the passport next week. I paid men, if ticket prices increase peren, I'd spend about 50k more per person.

So that was how I switched from TeamDIY to TeamFastTrack. Fingers crossed till next week.

Las las, if you have time, Omo DIY is the way, I don't believe I'd have collected mine in June but I don't want to risk trying it out, it'll spoil a lot of my plans for the year.


@Toplap I asked for my enrollment slip so I can see the date that I am to collect but as someone alleged, they do not want to give the slip, obviously because they do not want you to have the date either because they want to scam people to FasTrack or because they don't want people bugging them.

Venekconsultt:
Getting an insider in LAG is the best shsot for now. On your passport seized, I don't know your agent route/role which lead to the circumstances but in as much I wanna blame him for your experience I still will hold back words. However I'll advise that rather than wail or get into quarrels with your agent, you should channel that strength on your new passport and n change in your DOB. Honestly it might not be easy but all the best

adubam:


That's bad.

I would have helped if it were in the HQ
