Hello Peeps,

I wonder if there is anyone here that would know how this works; I will try and keep this short to not bore you.
Basically I reside in the UK, I have the Nigerian E-Passport but I need to get my name changed but the big guys at Northumberland(London) told me that I have to go to Abuja
My questions are as follows and would very much appreciate your advice.
1. How long will it take to get the e-passport changed if I go to Abuja?  PS; I have my Deedpoll, Name change already advertised in a Nigerian news paper and Affidavit from a Nigerian Court.

2. Do I need to book an appointment prior to travelling to Abuja see the big boys? Or it’s the case of just popping in and see how it goes?

3.Most importantly, how much will it cost, bearing in mind that I can only afford to be in Abuja for 3 days and the remainder of the time in Egba to see the family.

Ta in advance.

Abbey

hi, please were you able to sort out the name change on your E passport. I would love to know how you went about it.

@ Abbey 1st and foremost if u dont av a means of returning to london dont go to abuja oo i kw people who are stranded there... changes could not be made so it is dificult for them to make it back i av the same situation as u too..i was billed 200k to make d change after i was told to hold on as the chances is so slim..its been a long time u wrote in tho..maybe u sort out the situation lets hear about it Thanks

Regards
