Hello everyone, my capture date is in few day's time at Alausa passport office.

I heard somewhere that the I should not take the Guarantor's Form to any court/magistrate outside. I heard there is a provision for it to be sworn at the passport office.

I would like to confirm this please.

Thanks in advance.

Goodevening, please how do you finally handle the situation? My wife could not do change of data but only applied for renewal.Her passport expired ,now with a new surname. Please how do you handle yours or what is the way out?

MadeMan01:


Please, in all tha you do in life, be it passport application or planning for children school fees, avoid last minute arrangements. The guarantor form clearly shows the officers capable of signing the guarantor form. Get one of them, I used a notary public for my mom last year and brother this year and it was collected ( make sure Notary Public signs with red seal), you can use a Commissioner for Oaths or any other listed. Arrange your completed documents in advance and avoid last minute stress. What if you get there and it's starts raining heavily, will you be running with documents in the rain?

Please gather in advance

Can I contact you and speak to you about your plug ?

BeMab:
Hello Nairalanders, does anybody know if passports renewed in the United States are done in Nigeria? I'm trying to fast-track it.

IslamDefender:


Your question is not clear. Do you mean can you renew your Nigerian passport in Nigeria while you're in the US or can you renew a passport issued in the US in Nigeria?

If the first, no. You have to come down to Nigeria to renew or renew at your Nigerian Consulate in the US.

If the second, yes. For example, if you renewed your passport in New York and it's about to expire or already expired, you can renew it in Nigeria. But you must be physically present in Nigeria to do so.

Hope this helps.

Let me put my passport Wahala Issue here.

I applied for my Passport on June 8 2022 and did Capture on June 9, 2022, in Warri before leaving for Kaduna. I came back in June and I asked the guy that was processing it for me if my passport was ready and he angrily told me no that I didn't do an urgent passport and that it will take three minutes before it will be ready.

So, I left Warri and return to Kaduna hoping that when I returned in December my passport will b ready. In December when I arrived in Warri, I went to the immigration office to collect my passport. When I got there, I gave them the slip and gave them a number to wait, after waiting close to an hour, they called me and said my passport is not yet ready and that I should go and meet the person processing it for me. I was shocked and angry because is 6 months and my passport is not yet ready.

I called the person processing it for me and he told me my passport is supposed to be ready, maybe there is an issue somewhere and he will call me once is ready, so I left the immigration office angrily and went home.

I waited for two weeks and the guy did not call me, so make contact and explained to people and my Team Manager directed me to General Manager that he has a brother working In Nigeria Immigration, I contacted him and he gave me his brother's number, so I called his brother and explained everything and he told me to come to the immigration office the next day.

Meanwhile, I was contacting the guy that was processing it for me and he told me they cannot find my fine, and that I need to reproduce the processing documents so that they can take my file to the production room. I paid for that and they have to reproduce the document in my file and I filed them.

After all this, I still did not get any good feedback so I reported my issue to the Immigration office headquarters and they responded and told me to report my issue to the Warri Immigration Service desk, I went to lay my complaint but they refer to meet the guy processing it for me, I got angry and called Nigeria Immigration headquarter and told me to call the name of the person processing it for me. I did and they said I should send them my appointment letter for them to track it but I don't have any of those documents.

So on the 3rd of January this year, I went and decided to see the PCO, at first the immigration officers close to her office don't want to allow me in, saying she is busy, but I stood my ground and waited more than 4hrs before they decided to report my case to her and she called me then I explained everything to her including the part where I reported them to Abuja and she was angry with me for reporting them, saying I want to make them lose their jobs, that we Warri people are good at reporting.

After saying all that, she called them to find my file, Behold! The file that was missing is in there with other files that have not been produced. She said they have passed June, maybe my file has an issue, they look at my file, no issue so she begged me and said they don't have the passport I applied for and that the one they are issuing now is enhanced passport and is a different amount, that she will make a call to Abuja and once they sent her passport she will produce it.

I told her I want to travel back to Kaduna before I will come back to Warri in June so how am I going to get the passport?. She said since my case has been like this, she will do a third party for me, and that I should write a letter with the name of the person that will take it on my behalf and with a valid ID.

I did exactly as I was told, and my friend went there two times before they finally produced the passport I captured on June 9 2022, on January 19th 2023.

My friend collected it on my behalf and I get hold of my passport on June 1st 2023. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
