@Chygoz3 sorry to bother you bro, please can I change my payment option? I had finished all applications and headed to the bank to pay only for me to get to know that the platform I adopted has been down for a while. can I change back to pay arena and pay directly from my card?

please kindly treat as urgent

You can try doing so and see if it is possible.
Visit this link https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/passport/checkPassportStatus and enter your details. If it is possible, it should present you with the option to change the payment method.

I intend applying online for mine.. but I have issues with the required documents.. I have my local government of origin. but j don't have the original copy of my Birth cert. I only have a scanner copy of my declaration of age.

do you think they will accept this? I heard if you go through someone they can do another birth certificate for you.. but since I'm going to apply online I'm just curious to know if I can do an original declaration of age there if they don't accept the scanned one I have.

I can't answer this unfortunately.

pat077:
which of the locations did u pick urs from

Ikoyi

Grace135:

I mean how do you get ackowledgement receipt and date for your biometrics after online application

You get that after paying online. It'll appear in the page after payment.

Phargbemmy:



That is once I have been invited for capturing I think?

Yes.

pat077:
do they have servicom desk in all the states of the federation?

I believe they should. Most Federal Government parastatals do have a servicom desk in their offices.

Phargbemmy:
Thank @Chygoz3, funny thing is the application is not as tedious as I think, its straight forward. whatever documents that will need to be uploaded will be taken to their office I presume as I just completed an application for my daughter just now.

Yes the application is pretty straightforward. Just take the required documents to their office and proceed to the servicom desk to direct you on what to do.

egwekwe:


Thanks for your assistance.

You're welcome.

Phargbemmy:
@Chygoz3 thanks for the other time. it take an approximate of two weeks for you to get the renewed passport, do you have an idea how long it will take for a new one? I tried the @nigimmiration but my enquiries have not been answered since yesterday

I believe the time frame remains the same for both new and renewals.
About your inquiry to the twitter handle, you can send a reminder to them today. They normally reply promptly.

egwekwe:


Kaaaiii....what's now the difference between this and Lagos now...imagine

Officially a passport should be out 72 hours after capturing. However the people at the passport office may delay it because you did not follow the official route. In such cases, always let them know via twitter and the erring office would be called to order.

egwekwe:


Yeah ..Just saw it...Thanks For the update.

Am about to the renewal myself.

You wrote in the thread that you did not upload anything when filling the online application right?

Yes that is right.

egwekwe:


Hello...please how far with the update?

Please read till the end of the thread. I finished all updates days ago.

Grace135:

How do one get further correspondence from NIS after application

Via twitter.

Phargbemmy:



Thanks bro, I learnt we can get the local govt cert from where we currently live? Starting the process tomorrow morning. Thanks bro

Alright. You're welcome.

Phargbemmy:
@Chygoz3 nice piece.

Please I want to process same PP for my three children and my wife plus my girlfriend, please I hope I can do all for them online. Plus the certificate of origin, is it from the local government of origin or local government of residence.

Please I need more education on this so that I can start the processing tomorrow.

Thanks as I await your contributions

Yes everything can be done online. For the certificate of origin, it should be gotten from your local government of origin. That was where mine was gotten from many years ago.

marvveditorial:


Okay, thanks for the information. I just completed my application about making payment, which is 17k.

Okay. There should be a total service charge of about 800 naira though.

marvveditorial:


Please did you do the capturing in Lagos? Kindly send the link to me thanks

Yes I did at the Ikoyi office. What link are you referring to?

Grace135:

Urgent, pls which payment option did you use. I saw up to 5 or 6 options

I can't remember the exact one but anyone that allows you to enter your card details is fine.

Teeboy22:

Online

Teeboy22:

It took 8 days after capturing.

Teeboy22:

He is not above the law

No he isn't.

excomarow:










See the rubbish you guys are saying, you expect buhari to change this country overnight with people like you

Kemi deserve national honour for her integrity

You seem to have gotten my comment wrongly.
According to what was shown in the image posted, the penalty for participating in partisan politics is 3 months allowance forfeiture.
Davido is rich enough not to care about it.
So unless stricter penalties for breaking such a rule is introduced, oga park well.

stuffs4me:



These olodos don't know how to read. NYSC bye laws says 3months extension without pay.

Was that clearly shown in the image posted?

Penalty: 3 months without pay.
One month pay: 19800.
Offender has 30 billion in the account.
Okay na.

divads:
OK bro. could it be that yours was faster because it was renewal? I'm thinking of applying tomorrow.. but want to be sure sha. I don't want it to take months b4 getting ready

I wouldn't say so. There's not that much difference between fresh application and renewal.

chygoz3:


Update:
So I asked for the status of my application via the twitter handle and I got a call that it was ready and I should go and collect it tomorrow.
Attached is a screenshot of my chat with their handle.

Update:
I have now collected my passport.

divads:
Okay.. at what point did you submit the required documents.. The Local govt of origin and birth certificate? was it uploaded online or you submitted during the capturing at the office?

I only recently did renewal so I did not have to submit those.

divads:
Wow. very good. i hope this method will be fast irrespective of the location.?

You can always let them know of any challenges you encounter via the twitter handle.

Djswad:

bro abeg pls explain in detail how you go about it sir thanks

The process is straightforward on the website. Forget about the fee breakdown I wrote, it'll be paid together once you get to the payment page. The link is

Chriswazo:

Well you paid the person 12,200 to help you move your file across the different sections.

Chriswazo:


How much is the official price and dịd you pay at their office for anything

The official price is N15,000. Address verification is N2,000. Service charge amounts to N800.
The total was N17,800. No I did not have to pay a dime at the office.
