I do understand where you are coming from, am going to outline both processes, with a very good analytical view, they can make a decision on what is best for them.

JUSTWISE: Apply for her passport which will trigger identity check

Result: passport application in progress

Pitfalls: identity check will trigger first, originality of her documents. The consulate office will run her check and send information to home office who does extensive check (duration unknown)

If originality found credible, investigation on the imposter begins (duration unknown)

Arrest made, case closed, passport reissued (Good, 2 steps duraction, unknown)

COZYBUNCH: Report identity situation if any via online, certified post address and follow up with phone calls.

Results: investigation in progress

Pitfalls: Duration, unknown

No passport application yet till investigation is over

Arrest made, case closed, passport reissued. (Good, 1 step duraction unknown)

They can make their decision based on this two hypothesis.

Good Luck.

justwise:


The two sections in bold are incorrect.

1. Passport application submitted in Nigeria is sent directly to the UK for processing and not by The consulate office in Nigeria.

2. She will not be reissued any passport because there is no passport application in progress before the investigation, she has to apply and wait for the outcome making the whole process 2x longer.

First time of me hearing passport application is processed from country of origin, what is the embassy for them?

Her application will only go to the home office if identity theft is dictated. Unless u.k operates differently from most consulate office. Even Nigerian consulate office in foreign countries treat passport application within the office.

I don't know if by opening up the more will make you understand the two way steps stated earlier are correct.

Will not go back and forth with you on this again. I solidly know what am writing and they can do what they want.

Good Luck

justwise:


Again not true, the UK process passport applications and some visa applications in Sheffield.

Not all Nigerian missions abroad process passport application in the embassy, it has to be done in Abuja, Hong Kong being one of them.

cozybunch:


No need go back and forth. That there are cameo activities with consulate offices in foreign lands does not make passport application process done from country of origin. Yes there may be processes done here an there from more active mission.

However, processing a passport application, applications made in nigeria in u.k is so on head off, is abysmal to hear off. Unless there are technical issues or a background check of some sort.

Good Luck.

just curious, is it possible the office will type such english?

Go to police.uk there are list of numbers, for callers outside the u.k. Follow the proms in that website, you can see how to report fraud crime. Follow it duly.

As mentioned by justwise, you can use one stone kill two beds. As you are dealing with the u.k police, you can still be applying for her passport. Remember they will not issue her any passport up on till the case is over and dealt with.

Good Luck

I got an email today from their intelligence team,someone in home office forwarded the email to the team and a guy working in the British Embassy messaged me telling me to send details of my mom's name age, birth certificate and address of impersonator if I know it so the case can be taken up he even sent me a phone number .so am guessing there is progress on the way

ebeekay:

the authorities in Nigeria or uk? because my dad's younger sister in the uk is trying to give her an invite so she can come and claim it is it advisable

onatisi:
the best thing is for her to get to uk first before making any report. Once she makes the report in Nigeria she may never get the visa again. There is a similar case of twins now ,one has a criminal record while the second doesn't ,the papers of the innocent was used to the convict twin and the innocent twin wishes to travel now.but she cant .the embassy has said nothing again so far

Please follow the thread very well.

Good Luck

Good day nairalanders, I need. to make an inquiry about something urgent. My mom was born in the uk in the 1966s and her broda two years after, both were brought back to Nigeria after a while when she was like 4 yrs old..the brother returned in 1989 and claimed his citizenship after taking all their joint documents together. when my mom started pressure in him that she needs the documents for her own processing he kept saying he has misplaced all the documents. We the children have now been making resarch on how to get her back to the uk to claim her citizenship only to find out like one month ago that she is being impersonated in the uk by someone.She has all the prove she is the real citizen birth certificate,pictures of her growing up in the uk, pictures of her parents and her parents documents.please should she go with a Nigerian passport and make a legal suit there or she should try claiming the citizenship from here.
please your help is highly needed.Thanks
