Pls someone should help and clarify this approval mail issue, when should I begin to expect an approval mail? I have made the payment, I have received a mail that said paymemt complete, in that mail is a link to book for appointment, which I have done. I have gotten an appointment slip. So which one is the approval mail again? Someone should help out pls. This is my current status.
Thanks

Just proceed for capturing as long as you've made payment and booked an appointment.
Below is what the approval mail looks like by the way:

Thanks For Sharing. Ekitiman said a letter of sorts is required for renewal of expired passport, but you did not mention any letter submitted. Please help to reconfirm the entire documents that you submitted. Also, did you have to take any of the documents to the courts to certify? i remember that i had to do something like that the last time i had a passport done

No, I didn't take any letter with me. And those three are exactly the documents I submitted. Mind you, mine is a fresh application and not a renewal

omotoda:


Ok.Thanks. Today makes it a week I made payment and no approval notice yet.It Is really frustrating

Have you checked your spam folder? You can try your luck and proceed to the NIS office to continue your application even if you haven't received the approval mail yet. I never knew anything about the approval when I went for capturing today.

gtboy2626:

How many days from the day of payment did you get the approval email?

I made the payment on Aug 19 and got the approval mail this morning while I was at the NIS office.

omotoda:


Was your application approved before proceeding for capturing?

Yes it was

My Experience at NIS Abeokuta



I arrived at the Abeokuta NIS office at 7 AM. I met a security officer at the gate who told me I can only be allowed inside until 8 AM. By 7:50, we already had a crowd of about 70 people waiting at the gate to go in. At 8:05, an NIS officer came to address us at the gate. He asked for the elderly to come forward first, followed by the physically challenged, people with kids, and pregnant women. There, we were asked to present our appointment slip (for those capturing) before entry. You can also show them this on your phone. Next, we were marched to a reception where we wrote down our names and given a tag number (I was the first to arrive but I got tag 25).

Afterwards, we were taken to a holding area that looks like a typical lecture hall.

After some minutes, some officers came to call out the names of people whose application has been vetted. I assume these people have come to submit their applications before today. However, it was my first time there and my application hasn't been vetted. The only thing I did was fill out the application form and pay online.

People in my category were then told to go to one area at the reception to vet our application. After that, we were asked to wait at the holding area, meanwhile they called out the first 40 people having tags 1-40 to head upstairs for capturing.

I was holding tag 25 so I went to meet the officers and asked if I should follow that set of people but I was told to wait behind.

Then the wait began.

I was in the holding area till about 11:30 AM when one officer came to call my name. I followed him upstairs to the capturing room and I was done with capturing at 12:01 PM.


In summary, I was at the NIS office in Abeokuta for a fresh passport application today. I got there at 7 AM and left at 12 PM. The experience was smooth and the officials were professional.


Documents I went with (2* copies each):

1. Payment receipt
2. Appointment slip
3. Application slip

Thanks to everyone for the information you all provide here. I found them helpful.
Hope this helps someone, too.

Yes, a guarantor is no longer one of the requirements for passport applicant.

Thank you Ekitiman

I read that a guarantor's form is no longer required for the application process. How true is that please?

ekitimanalways:

Your local government certificate of identity is perfect.

Thanks a lot

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. Which of these applies to someone applying for the first time? Also, I learnt that one has to go with a guarantor's form, etc.

badcommando:
I applied for a passport online on May 30.
I uploaded my NIN, birth certificate, and photograph on the website. I selected Uyo office as my preferred office for capturing and collection.
I paid a sum of #36400 online with my debit card.
Then I printed out the application slip and payment slip.
I was given a date in June as appointment for capturing and biometrics
I went to NIS office in Uyo on the date and was attended to early. The official snapped my picture and I also did thumbprint. He gave me a passport tracking number and told me to expect an email from the office.
I didn't receive an email after six weeks so I went back to the office to check and passport was ready for collection.
It was a smooth D.I.Y process

Please, what are the documents you went with?

Gamezi:



Lol actually you sound unintelligent not because you font know what you saying but because you dont know how the system works..#shalom

How does the system work? I'd really like to know.

Lol dey play dey celebrate yeye course

Look at you laughing at your own ignorance. Very bold of you to call Animal Breeding and Genetics a yeye course.
AFAIK, that school is the only one that offers this course in the whole of Nigeria for many years. Don't really know about now though. Do you even know the limitless career prospects in Animal Breeding and Genetics? I see you're not informed so I'll take my time to enlighthen you.

As he is, he has equal chances with someone who studied Microbiology, Biochemistry or Genetics to proceed and obtain a Msc or PhD in genetics-related fields. Talk about molecular genetics, human genetics, computational genomics, bioinformatics, medical genetics, etc etc.

So you see, sometimes it better to just keep quiet and learn instead of making statements that make you sound unintelligent.

Nobody is going to take this claim seriously unless she has a solid evidence to back it up.

Unrelated, but if you're yet to watch Oppenheimer, I'd suggest you read the Wikipedia article on "Manhattan Project" first before watching the movie. It'll enlighten you about the events surrounding the creation of the world's first atomic bomb.

I read the article a day before watching Oppenheimer which helped me understood the movie very well.

Not possible. The terms of acquisition by Microsoft will prevent them from building a competing product or working for a competing business.

Even if they don't build another AI company themselves, they can still work as contractors or advisors for other Microsoft rivals.

In either case, their experience is all that matters.

Now, Sam and Greg might go on to build another company that will oust OpenAI in the AI game.

The loss is on OpenAI here.

I think it's right about time I sell my GTB shares too. It's better I use the money chop before Nigeria happens to it.

Well deserved! Swift is an embodiment of talent and hard work. I admire her talent and she'll always have my respect any time. She's talent at its peak! 🤭

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na why I nor like to dey talk too much be this oh.


Can I know my offence?🥲

None committed. In fact, I'm taking notes of your wisdom.

I can confirm. For someone like me who cannot do without visiting filling station at least once a week, I cannot remember the last time I was there. But I'm cocksure it wasn't this month.

Almost everybody on my street now relies on solar.

Firstly, Congratulations on your marriage.

My humble opinion:

Maybe you should communicate with her on what she likes, and what turns her on (feet, neck, hand, boobs etc).

Focus more on romance, dry humping or whatever than the actual act itself. Make sure she's lubricated too. You can spice the sexual act itself by playing sensual songs that can get into her feelings too.

Instead of going straight to penetration.

I thought your job is to advise and represent clients on legal matters. When did you start a venture in sexology?

Lmao at "done with HTML and CSS" 😂😂

Javascript is indeed a weird language but with constant practice you'll get better.

Where is the power they are distributing? Instead of focusing on generating more electricity they're repeating what they have been doing for ages without results.

Remind me what Einstein calls someone who does one thing the same way over and over and expect different results again?
