Yes. When you get to collection, if you're not able to pick it just go to Servicom. They have almost 200 passport with them at servicom so they might not see it at collection section. Ensure you go with copy of your NIN, Passport Data page, confirmed payment printout and any other documents you used to apply. They said they had an incident (fire) hence so they need to replace lost documents.

So yesterday I finally picked up my passport (DIY) at the ikoyi Lagos immigration office. Captured on March 9th 2022. Been ranting on Twitter since day one of capturing , tagging ministry of interior , rauf aregbesola , the presidency , Nigeria info and NIS. Didn't even know it has been ready since May 31st lol. At a point i almost got discouraged and wanted fast tracking but fortunating the officer asked for my enrollment number and said no need for that , that my passport is out since. Well DIY works but not for the desperate and guess what , others who bribed also waited for atleast 2 months before getting there's, more still paying 45k - 65k for a 32 page 5 years passport. They all were shocked when I said I paid only 26k. The choice is yours you can bribe or DIY if you not desperate.

How was your experience capturing ... Got a friend who wants to capture tomorrow.. any heads up

Jaysleeves:
Was smooth. I booked for 1pm or so. But I Sha got there mid day. Came with payment slip, guarantor form , application form , state of origin , 2 passports and birth certificate, NIN. I was given a form to fill at servicom to photo copy and fill for FREE. Did the court stuffs for 500naira, was given a pink file.
I was fortunate to meet an officer from same state and she helped me a bit pushed for my file to be signed and stamped easily without delay. Got to the captured room saw a massive crowd sitted outside I just ignored everyone and walked to an officer inside and told him I want to capture. Baba just asked me to sit down among people inside the room instead of me going outside to await among the huge crowd lol .. I was captured and given a slip containing my enrollment number .. I spent less than 2 hours there.. I guess I was fortunate cause I later learned people have been there as early as 6am, and still not close to getting captured. I only spent 500 naira and some change for photo copy .. the migration officers were all friendly to me and I didn't give any 1 Kobo.. You won't have any issues if you have an NIN cause thats what gives people problem and try book for afternoon session ..

Hello everyone here!
My experience at the NIS Passport office. This is to help those who plan to get theirs as those who shared theirs helped me too.

Location: Alausa
Passport reissue, #TeamDIY
I went for capturing today, 01/07.
I placed the booking on 01/05.

Time: 9:00 am

I planned getting there earlier but the rain didn't help matters. I got there exactly 9am and they were calling names already and people were collecting files and going inside. I met the servicom desk to direct me to the appropriate desk. They pointed at the desk opposite their cubicle: The internet registration desk.
I went there and asked an officer about the process, she asked me to get a file outside and put my documents inside. I was directed to the VIO car park adjacent the NIS compound. Under a small canopy in the car park, there's a business centre. I bought the file (#500), a 3-page form I saw people filling (#300), they typed and printed my application letter (#300) and a tiny rope to hold perforated papers (#100). The lady there seemed to know the process very well, she helped me arrange the documents and told me the documents I brought that were not needed like the birth certificate and state of origin since it was a reissue (God bless her).
I took the folder back to the Internet registration desk and they checked the documents, wrote some things, asked me to write a few things. They pointed at a door behind a glass and asked me to take my file there. I took it there and met another officer who checked some things in my original passport and the photocopies I brought and handed everything back to me. I took it again to the Internet Registration Desk and they told me that there are 2 other steps that will need to take place before I can get the file back to go for capturing. She asked me to exercise patience and come back in 2 hours. Lol. She said because of the crowd present.
I went back to the business centre and they asked me to wait at the NIS office, so that my file won't be misplaced. (Again, God bless her and her colleague). I went back and in 30 minutes, my name was called to collect my file and go for capturing. I collected my file and sat inside. The qeue was moving despite the number of people inside. It may have been an hour of waiting before I finally got to the capturing room. I was captured, got my enrollment form and en route home!
Left around 1.

Looking forward to the best. The date of collection written on the enrollment form says 01/08. Let's see if it is. Selah.

Brother, I am sorry for late reply. I paid online last year November 2021 I Submitted my documents in December, they sent me sms in January for capturing. Then I waited till April...i started visiting their office to know if the passport is ready.

Do it yourself is very very stressful but it worth.


Is the current passport not the long awaited "enhanced passport" and people are still passing through stress to get it?

giselle237:

U can do ur renewal anywhere u so desire.
For changing to married status, are you male or female? If female is your name goin to change on the new passport?

FuckHomophobes:
The thunder that will fire those Akure immigration office is still doing press up. What nonsense since December last year that I did capturing.

It's already June and I'm yet to get my passport. God will punish them oo. Walahi

SHOPPERS:
For the guarantor form, does the guarantor need to be with the physical copy of his/her own passport or just fill a form?

And please do I need to be with my marriage certificate compulsorily too?

Please help. Make I know if I will travel back or not before Monday.

Thanks.

I'm trying to apply for a fresh passport.
I noticed that "passport type" has two options- standard passport and Official passport
please which one am i selecting

Also for those in Lagos, between the three offices (Festac, Alausa and Ikoyi) which place is lenient for DIYers or which should i go for

Then part of the documents to have is the State of Orgin certificate. How are you guys getting that one please ?

Thanks

Ewizard:

soomedics:


Please the state of origin and the birth certificate you went with, is it photocopy or original? Then passport photograph, Red or white background?

sheyihandsy:
I have a tips that can work for DIYers (Tested and Trusted TWICE me and my wife). Please find out day of the week that your preferred location do productions before you pick a capturing date.
For instance, Ibadan produce every Tuesday of the week, so Monday is best capturing day. Go to the location 2-3days to open file , and find an officer that can help you capture in time(without paying a dime). Then ask him if he can fast track...10k to 15k is all that will cost you to collect your passport the following day. I promise you. Online payment: 27k + 15k= 42k total package. Not a bad deal if you want to pay for fast track

Marike2:


Go to your State Laison Office and get the Certificate of Origin at a fee, depending on your state.
