Hermeknorr:
Is your passport ready for pick up? I am in same stage as you but its taking like forever

Yes I've gotten mine, just follow then up on twitter I got it last week, funny thing passport submitted since February was issued August 8 and printed 9.. Just follow Nigeria immigration tag them and disturb them

Please I have a few questions about PTA.
Most banks, I have read that Travel date must be within the next 2 weeks, meaning travel date not more than 14 days from PTA purchase date.

1. Does this mean I have to wait 2 weeks to my travel date to apply? But I have heard that it takes several weeks to get it, so doesn't that mean my travel date will arrive before I'm able to get the PTA?

2. Secondly, if it happens that way and travel date comes before I get the PTA, will I still get it?

3. I have GTB, ACCESS, STANBIC, STERLING and UBA. Is there any of these that is best to use to get PTA faster or the bank doesn't really matter.

4. Lastly, on the average, how long does it generally take now to get PTA. Trip is to Singapore.

Mine is showing record not found, since June 2nd

Hey sis, Are sure you are using the right link? The first link I tried online said same before I came to Nairaland and saw the correct link.

PTA is getting difficult by the day.
Don't wait for the two weeks window before you apply. You may not get it at the end of the day. I could not get it for my last trip in July because I applied two weeks before my trip unlike before.

If you already have your return ticket. Start the process now. Visit your banks to confirm if the have long queue of applications on their system or else your application will just be there. You can apply to many banks at once. You may be lucky for one to process among your list of applications. This is not a PTA platform so I believe this info is enough. Good luck.

Thanks so much for taking out time to reply. Just one more question please. My Visa is not yet ready and still being processed, but I have every other document including my flight ticket fully paid for. Can I still start it on the tradesystem platform pending when the visa is ready in about a week or so? My departure is September 26th.

You can't start because the visa page is one of the requirements on the platform.

I applied to renew my international passport using the DIY process. And I can only say those officers are hellbent on frustrating DIY people but we won’t stop advocating for it.

Passport office: Alausa
Booklet: 10 years 64 pages

Registered online: 30th May 2022
Captured: 4th August 2022 This was a breeze, didn’t pay a dime even though the friend I thought I had whom I approached to see if there was anything he could do because the two months wait for capturing was too long tried to hijack it and turn it into a money milking situation however I called his bluff and told him I didn’t wait for 2 months to enrich their pockets just for capturing alone (Those people know no friends when it comes to this).

I saw a website for tracking today so I decided to track my application and got the biggest shock of my life. My portal is yet to be updated at all. It’s been over 3 weeks since I captured and my profile is still like this. Is this normal?

This is the EXACT thing happening to me! Over one month I captured now.
Funny to think I even paid to submit my form yet the man wrote 'no booklet' on my form that day.

Good evening
I checked my passport production status on the immigration tracking site, it is showing 504 gateway time out
I captured it on the 23rd of may
It was on the production in progress stage before I start to experience 504 gateway time out

I'm going for capturing next month is it advisable to go there a day before the capturing date or I should go there that same date.
Because I heard that is always a lot of crown there.

You can submit on capturing day but;

✓ Make sure that your guarantor have filled the guarantor form before your capturing date

✓ Make sure that you have stamped your guarantor form at high court

✓ Make sure that your guarantor passport is at 6months valid or more as at the date of your capturing (if your guarantor passport validity is less than 6months, they will ask you to provide another guarantor)

✓ Ensure that you arrive capturing centre as early as possible

It is important that you upload all your documents at once or else it won't be processed. You need to upload your Visa page, data page of your passport, return ticket and letter of authorization. Sept 26 is very close. I want to advise once again thank you confirm from all the banks you operate to see if you can get any help. I wish you all the best once again.

Thank you. I heard one has to also upload a letter of authority written to your bank for authorization to debit. Is this true?

Yes, it's true.
It's just a simple formal letter to the branch manager of the bank you select.
If you have e-signature on your laptop or desktop the then you're good to go.

wow 4 months that serious how many pages

Is it appropriate to register for Passport online because it is cheaper?


I have a conference to attend by November 23rd in Spain.

I'd to be guided and helped, I stay in Ilorin.

There's a passport office in Ilorin. You should get your passport earlier than expected. Don't travel to another state to process.
