Thanks bros' i think you got it there. but is the mother not enough evidence and marriage certificate too.
And what do you advice me to do?
thanks man!

I will advise you get what Blank mentioned above. In addition, I think it would help if you could get the letter of consent notarized. Your wife would then go there with these documents.
I think this would be enough. Your marriage certificate does not guide against your wife travelling with the child without your consent once she has obtain passport for the child. Hence why they ask for this consent. The issue of a spouse absconding with children from the marriage when there are marital problems is real worldwide and asking for all these documents is not peculiar to Nigeria as I have a child who also have another country passport in addition to the Nigerian passport and the requirements are similar.

Maybe he wan make you settle.

Abi you no be Nigerian again? Bring brown envelope and your son will get his passport.

pls poster dont blame the immigration guys. I think they didnt want you traveling abroad because you will give Nigeria a bad image with your rotten English

omoabike: @OP
You can get passport at any age. I have had to get passports for 2 of my kids when they were less than 1 year and had not had to bribe anybody as some people are insinuating.
The only thing different is that me and my wife had been present at the passport office.
I think you need to find out more what is the issue. I have a feeling it is because you are not there at the passport office with the mother.
So you may need to find out how you the father would need to legally give your consent for him to get passport.
When it comes to kid getting passports the authorities; because of child trafficking tend to be stricter than for when getting passport for an adult.

On Point

Seen a passport done for a day old baby. Was weird but it was right before my eyes. Don't bribe them. Rake for them and ask to see whoever's in charge.

Hello pals,pls am a student and I need an international passport urgently,I need help with the documents required as well as the cost.I will appreciate any help.thanks

Blank's procedure is the official position. Confirmed it at the immigration office. And dont forget the child's birth certificate.

there are two types of passport. The children passport and the normal int'l passport you know. Ur baby is to be issued with the children passport, wn he is of age, he would be requested to renew it to the normal. There is no age restriction to getting an int'l passport.

I believe you must have spoken with one of those taut in the immigration officer.Go back there try to inquire from uniform officer seated in an office.Try 2 to 3 officers because some of the officers are not enlighten enough.

eemmason: he said 1.7yrs old meaning one year and seven months, better get a reading glass if you can't see clearly!

how about you drop dead and stop being such a smart azz for a simple mistake.

Please, this is false or old information. The one for kids is the same as the one for adults. No difference.

The info i gave before is 100% correct. You can imagine my shock and displeasure when they told me that a kid can only be a citizen (obtain passport through the father and not through the mother). I ended up spending extra money at the business center trying to get my husband to scan the info needed.
