Why should anyone steal a naija passport sef
in countries like Dubai, you need to hide your passport inside your pants/boxers. Nigerians are capable of doing anything

I will advice you do a new one, because going to the immigration office to file a report and going through all the processes is stressful and believe me it’s not worth it. But if the need for the retrieval isn’t urgent, then I would advice you go to the immigration office to start up with the retrieval, An Affidavit is needed, NIN ID etc. Also it costs very little or nothing . Although you will have to wait for months just like that of National Identification Number
Remember this is an e-passport, the biometrics of the owner is on the system, he must present the old passport for cancellation before applying for a new one. The best bet is to report it as stolen go through the necessary process. BTW this is Nigeria where nothing is impossible

Re: How Can I Retrieve A Stolen Passport by bankole200(m): 7:55am On Oct 21, 2019
Get a police report, court affidavit, hope you have your passport number with you? because you will need it. Then you make an application for a replacement at any immigration office close to you. Though an approval will be sought from Abuja immigration office before they can proceed.

Hi,if you want to retrieve a stolen or lost passport kindly follow the following steps.
A....you would go to the nearest HIGH COURT to swear an affidavit that :
(1)your passport was stolen and
(2) that the said passport belongs to you ,quoting your NAME,DATE OF BIRTH AND PASSPORT NUMBER as it appeared on the lost /stolen passport.

(B) After you have got the affidavit pls take it to the nearest police station and request for a police report or a police extract as some call it.
The police know how it is written.

(C) once you have these two,pls vist the nearest immigration office or passport office scattered around the country. At their gate pls ask for the P.C.O or the P.R.O.
The P.C.O is the head of passport section while the P.R.O is self explanatory.
These two people would put you through on what else you might be required to do.

Sir,you do NOT NEED TO GO to ABUJA TO retrieve YOUR lost passport anymore.
I would also advice you against trying to do /obtain another passport with out following due process because once you capture and you have biometric the system would alert them that you have an existing passport,failure to declare this is actually regarded as a criminal offence for you the service has been empowered to prosecute, asides from that you automatically forfeit what ever payments you have made.

I misplaced mine some few weeks back and I went to the immigration office so as to replace it. It was tagged “Lost Case”. I replaced it paying 50k...I did my capturing the same day and i collected it the following week.

Court affidavit and police report would be done by the agency. You do not have to go through the supposed stress. Peace..

Really, probably things have changed, a friend list his some times ago and he was told he could only get it in abuja and even when I was processing mine the immigration officer told us same thing too.
Re: How Can I Retrieve A Stolen Passport by solmmak(m): 8:58am On Oct 21, 2019
You can only apply for a re-issue due to a lost case..... All you need to do is to get a court affidavit, police extract/report, and visit any immigration office headquarters in your state of residence.......

The only way is for you to go to immigration office in Abuja by airport road. But before going to abj, kindly go to the nearest immigration office for enquiry.

It can be retrieved in any passport office of your choice, get a copy of the data page, swear an affidavits and make police report with it and go for application of lost passport

You can't
..you will need police report affidavit ..I also went ahead and did newspaper publication to avoid issues though it would be cancelled on system ..I advise you hurriedly act because if it falls into wrong hands no excuse can defend u .so first things first police report


After wards you go to immigration and apply for a new one going along with police report and affidavit
