Hope you have been able to collect yours now

I was born in the early 80s. Which means I can use both attestation or affidavit if I get you right sir?

Affidavit of birth would do if only you're born before 1992. Get the attestation of a birth. The attestation of a birth certificate has the same legal effect as the birth certificate. The first step is to visit the NPC ( National Population Commission) office and request for the data form for attestation of the certificate for those born from 1992.

Can I use declaration of age as I was born after 1992? My name on my NPC birth certificate was spelt wrong so I've been using declaration of age from court ever since.

JimMumin:
I've collected my Passport at the Ibadan NIS centre and think I should share my experience too.

Centre: Ibadan
Date Registered: Sept. 9th
Date Captured: Nov. 7th (about 12 weeks)
Passport Page and Year: 32 Pages and 5 years
Cost: NGN 25k plus 1k gateway charges
General experience: fair.

Capturing experience

I got there Friday the 4th (the working day before my capturing day, Nov 7th) to submit my file. They received it and asked that I should come back on d-day. I asked 'bout doing account verification and others but they were vexed and changed it for me. So I left.
When I went for capturing on Nov 7th, I went to the same office and collected my file which has been prepared by them.
Content: Appointment slip, Registration slip, Guarantor form (filled and stamped with guarantor passport attached), two passport photographs, photocopy of guarantors ID (I used his NIN), my Age declaration affidavit, photocopy of my Origin Certificate and my NIN slip photocopy. Note: I went with the original of my NIN and Local Government origin certificate.
All the processes were directed and information was provided on the steps.
I went as early as 7 am and left around 4 pm to 5 pm.
Advice: Go there early to do the necessary things but be prepared for a full day if you are DoingIY. But ensure you submit your documents before the capturing date for Ibadan, I said Ibadan coz I don't know about others. Ensure you do not have issues, that's where they might treat you unfairly. I remember I asked one officer 'bout the month I would get mine but he asked me to go and ask from the online I registered, that's cold.


Collection Experience

I went there around 9 am with the slip they gave me and met a 'crowd' but I left for other stuff. I came back around 2 pm.
They'd come and collect the slips; they'd check and bring the passports if already produced or return the slips if otherwise; they'd call names of those whose passports were ready to follow them to the issuance room for thumb printing.
So, it was when they came to call names that they collected other slips, mine included.
They came and called me around past 3 pm and I went for the thumb printing and collected my passport.

So, I believe Ibadan is comparably fair based on reports from some centres.

Register early to get an early capturing date. As of today (March 24th), the earliest date stated on the immigration website is May 29th for the Ibadan centre. Ibadan dey get customers o

Shout out to everyone who has provided information and shared ideas and advice here.

Ismailsulaimon:
Good afternoon my people, my capturing date is 30th of March and I've been following this thread so as to provide the necessary documents against that day. But from what hav read here, the only problem I'm having is my ORIGINAL NPC ATTESTATION OF BIRTH Is not with me here N.B I was born in the year 1996. The question is would they attend to me by providing only the photocopy.

Thanks so much...

WpressBeginner:


Which immigration office is dat please

Emeraldfynest:
Hello, good afternoon. Thanks for sharing your experience. My capturing date is also May 3rd for the Ibadan office. Pls I need you to confirm if your guarantor filled this part 2 and is it necessary? The other parts were all filled and I've even stamped at the Ring Road High Court, I have my guarantor's passport data page, Driving license copy and passports too. Do you think this unfilled part will be an issue?

Then when you said one should submit documents before the capturing date, will that make it faster or what? Which date should I do that? Thanks.

JimMumin:
No, we didn't fill the part II that dealt with destination or so
.................

Then, for the submission, you can go a day or anytime before capturing date.

If at all you want to submit on your capturing date, make it very early.

I remember a guy came to submit his that same day of capturing and they so much vexed for him and got him delayed, especially since he is a DIYer.

My wonderful people,

Just want to share my experience at Abeokuta office. though I went there on Wednesday, two dayz ago. I go there very late(1:10pm) cos of the terrible traffic that lasted for about 4hours from Lagos.
Well, when I got there, I met an officer and I told him I came for capturing.He asked me who was helping me and I replied God and myself. He just showed me the office in charge. My documents were checked and I bought a file for#200. After everything the officer rechecked my state of origin certificate and told me I will not be able to capture that day cos I need an attestation letter from the king cos my local government of origin is closer to boarder. He also stated some other local government government like that that will need such letter. I will advised those whose local government shares boarder with other country to take note.

I also heard the officer telling other applicants that processing fee has been introduced since about a month which is #4000 and people are paying. The officer's boss returned my file with my documents inside that I should come back as soon as I get the letter.

I have gotten the letter now.

Apart from the above, a friend of mine that captured at Ikoyi told me she went with a letter of recommendation from a Brigadier General and the capturing was easy. She said VIP was written on her file. Planning to get that too when next am going for mine at Abeokuta.

It was really a wonderful experience!

Good morning all.

Can any one confirm if the processing fee of 4000 as mentioned below is official?

This is not listed as one of their requirements for processing both new and renewal of passport.

Thank you.

NIS does not charge a processing fee (4,000 Naira).

ekitimanalways:

No, you cannot use declaration of age as you were born after1992. For passport applicants born after 1992, NIS requires them to bring the original and photocopies of their NPC birth certificates...
Approach NPC for a replacement birth certificate. You were born after 1992, you'll only be able to get an Attestation of Birth + Affidavit (2 complimentary documents).
