Just photocopy the data page and you're good. The main thing is to identify you and your passport number covers that.
I did same when mine expired and UBA still accepted it.
Alternatively, go and open an account with Zenith bank they will do the national identity registration for you there on the spot, no need for your international passport.

They won't accept it, it's a revenue policy of the FG but you're right about the Zenith part

He is not lying.. Zenith bank does nimc for customers

https://www.zenithbank.com/nin

Zenith bank doesn’t do NImc....
the federal government after agreement with the banks selected a couple of banks as office venue for government officials to register people all over the country for easy access for citizens.... and these are UBA, zenith, eco bank and WEMA...and its not all their branches still.....
Get it...zenith bank or any bank official doesn’t register u for nimc, government workers do so in selected bank branch buildings...

I don't know why some people won't understand just simple things, an expired interpretation passport can never be accepted in any banks in nigeria. And those that saying passport number change during renewal is total a lie.

If anyone wants to do nimc and does not have patience to go to alausa.. Walk into zenith bank and ask for the branch closest to you that you can

Not true. Your passport number does not change during renewal, it's permanent. Even your data page won't change during renewal, except you specifically apply for a change to your profile details which attracts extra charges.
The account they opened for me is not restricted, the aim of the data page is for identification and your passport number id you.

Stop giving wrong information about international passport as you know nothing about it

Passport is subject to renewal every 5 or 10yrs as the case may be

You are getting a new passport number once you get captured for another one

It's only national ID card that has a permanent number because its supposed to be your unic number as a citizen

If the country is doing what they are expected to do

It's only your national ID card that would have been used by Nigeria citizens as the only valid

Whereas you use passport as a valid ID abroad

Hey everyone,
My international passport expired in 2018 and I haven't renewed it yet.
Will the bank accept it if I choose it and open a bank account?.
Thanks.

Anything that has expired is useless sir,that is basic. Use alternative means of identification,like voter's card to open your account.

No. Until you provide another form of picture identification that is valid or renew your passport, there's no way to prove you're presently qualified to be accepted to open a bank account or the like.

Oga, your passport number changes with passport renewal. I'm not saying what I feel like, I'm telling you what I know as that's my situation and I didn't apply for change of profile details.

Everyone gets their passport number changed, that's the standard.

You mean national identity card?
Re: Can I Open A Bank Account With An Expired International Passport? by andyanders: 11:00am On Jan 02, 2020
AntiWailer:
No you cant.

Your means of identification must be VALID as at the point of use.

If u ever used an expired one, it is due to lack of due diligence by whoever collected it from you.

The bank would eventually be responsible for Ur invalid means of ID.
On point. The said a/c should be put on hold till all forms of iddentification has been rectified/updated. One must have a valid identification b4 an a/c is opened for operation. The guy who mentioned UBA is puting the officer that opened the a/c in problem.
