Yes you are right! I applied for 32pgs 2days ago and I was told it will be ready by month end. 64pgs is readily available as we speak. Abeokuta precisely

Pls... Has anyone collected his or her passport at ibadan... 32pgs to be precise.... I even offer ma contact additional fee to speed it up but... Saying no booklet. That it will soon be available.. I need it badly early nxt month. Paid exhorbitant fee for the conference am going for. Another war is to get closer appointment date at lagos us embassy. Pls any update?

my contact in abuja told me i should get my 32pgs by next week after easter.

congrats, the big lesson is stay clear of junior officers at the passport office...they are only good at singing scarcity of booklets after payment.

Lool don't sound ridiculous..... Everyone doesn't (wouldn't) know a state-comptroller. And besides prior to this passport scarcity I'm not sure anyone ever complained of non-availability of booklet. Thank goodness her's is available now.

I know what am talking about bro, met someone at passport office festac that paid 43k for 32 pages since January and he was yet to collect as at March 30 reason for delay is no booklet, whereas an Hausa guy collected within 7working days at the rate of 29k mid march at same office...my advice to prospective applicants is to hang around the collection room and enquire from the passport collectors the longevity of their application, amount paid and who there contact is believe me you won't fall victim like some of us did.

Different strokes for different folks, all I'm saying is that it's the scarcity that caused this quagmire. Normally everyone gets his passport within 24-48hrs.
Now the scarcity reduced supply. Plenty people chasing few booklets. The day I went to renew my mum's passport with her last week, the register of a higher educational institution came in with an introductory letter from the school he needed one urgently, he got his that day at exactly the same price we paid, mind you we didn't get ours. Lol
Link also matters if I have a senior officer in the force I might do a passport at the barest rate.
Not everyone would have that opportunity, not everyone would want to share his link, but if supply is fixed, no one would need a link.
When I did mine I just walked into a NIS office near me as at the time, approached a man I liked his face about 9hrs later I had my passport.

Booklets are so available now. They were supplied on Monday. I applied for my son 3 days ago and picked up yesterday at Ikoyi office

Please bro, what is the processing for renewal? Do you have to give them the expired one - as in, they will not give you back? Or both the new and the expired one will be given to you?

Thanks!

You get to fill out a form(capture & finger print). You would get the old one back (some people have active visa's on expired passport).. You can then use rubber band to hold both
