Thanks for the info. Please, do they have any centre around Apapa or Mile 2 ? And after all the submissions, how do I get the passport and how long does it take ? Thanks once again.


There is an office in FESTAC town, this should be close to you, because FESTAC is close to mile 2.

Please am I paying another fee in their office? I mean any bribe whatsoever here please respond. Thank you. Am actually based in imo state, owerri to be precise. I went to NIS office here to ask about availability of passport before applying online but to my shock and amazement I was told not to apply online but to come to their office to make payments. I told them that I was suppose to make my payment online the officer I spoke with then replied with a stern voice that ok I should go and pay online that no problem that they will be waiting for me. The tone sent a chill down my spine. He out rightly told me 50k for renewal as against 17k abi which kind country be this?! ����. Sad enough am trying to get done for me and my four kids. Osumi jare!!
