Requirements and procedure for obtaining a Fresh international passport for married women.

1. Marriage certificate
2. NIN slip containing your new name
3. Newspaper publication
4. Sworn affidavit
5. Other documents required for all other passport applicants

You will use all this to apply

Below are the steps for getting the passport.

Step 1: Obtain marriage certificate.

Getting the marriage certificate is simple. It can be gotten at the registry, church or any other approved institution.

Step 2 and 3: a sworn affidavit for a change of name and a Newspaper publication for the same.

These steps go hand in hand because after getting the sworn affidavit, you will need to do a newsapaper publication.

You can begin by getting the sworn affidavit. This can be done at the registery of any high court near you. Next is to get a newspaper publication announcing your change of name.

You have to submit the following documents for sworn affidavit and newspaper publication.

Information about your current name
New name
Gender
The reason for the change
A copy of your marriage certificate
A means of identification showing your current name
(e.g drivers license, ID card , certificate etc)
Passport photograph

Marriage certificate, sworn affidavit and newspaper publication (the page of change of name) - you will be needing them almost everywhere else.

Newspaper publication costs around 5,000 while sworn affidavit costs between 200 to 2,000

Step 4. Modify your new name on your NIN slip or Register for a new NIN Slip if you dont have

The next document you would need is a National Identity Slip or Card. Especially if you want to get the Enhanced passport.

So, if you haven’t registered for one before, you should do so. But if you have, you would need to apply to modify your existing details.

To register for a new NIN, you need a valid means of identification (drivers license, voters card etc) and you need to fill the pre-enrolment form on the NIMC website

Changing your Name on your National Identity Slip or Card in Nigeria

To change your name on your national identity slip or card, you would need to pay a modification service fee. It costs ₦500 to change most fields, except the ‘Date of Birth’ field which costs ₦15,000.

Payment Process for Modification to your National Identity Slip or Card

Go to www.remita.net to pay the modification service fee.

Select ‘Pay FGN and State TSA’ and then choose ‘FGN: Federal Government of Nigeria’

In the field that says ‘Who do you want to pay?’, type in ‘National Identity Management Commission’

In the ‘Name of Service/Purpose’ field, select ‘Modification of any Other Field Other than DOB – Per Transaction’

If you are updating multiple fields, you can choose ‘National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Fees‘.

Fill in the other fields and click on ‘Submit’.

Pay the fee with any of the available methods of payment. Take note of your RRR fornqhen you might need it.

Print out a confirmation slip to take with you to the NIMC centre.

Documents Needed for Modification to your National Identity Slip or Card

• Filled form – this would be given to you at the NIMC office. The NIMC says this form is free, however, officials in some centres charge ₦50 to ₦200

• Letter of application for the change of name.
If you're based in Lagos, this should be directed to the ‘National Identity Management Commission, Alausa, Ikeja.
If in another state, I guess the letter will be directed NIMC headquaryers in that state.

• Sworn affidavit

• Newspaper publication

• Marriage certificate

• Confirmation of payment of modification service fee.

After making the necessary payments and gathering the required documents, go to the nearest NIMC centre for the final process of change of name.
