Went for capturing today at the Alimosho office as per appointment date, got there around 8:41 am, put down my name for attendance then approached the security guy.

He’ll first ask you if you have an agent doing it for you or you register online, if you’re using an agent, he’ll ask you to call him/her, if DIY like myself, he’ll check if your status is vetted and direct you to Servicom.

He asked if my status is vetted, which it is, then marched me to Servicom room for documents check.
I had a little delay here as I don’t have the paper copy of my original documents ( indigenship and Date of Birth) certificate. I was later certified and my documents stamped after showing them on my phone.

Priority was given to ‘Vetted’ status documents first and those with ‘Waiting for approval’ was later marched to Servicom room for manual vetting.

There was a mammoth crowd due to people that had been appointed last week Friday which happened to be an holiday.

Their Boss (a woman in her fifties) later come to talk to us that those that had their appointment today will be given priority as only them the system can identify and will have to sort out those that had been booked for last week Friday.

Done with capturing within 10mins.

Despite heavy bribing and money exchanging hands from agents, team DIY are completely safe once your status is vetted and documents presented.
Nobody will disturb, delay or ask you for any bribe/money.

Documents took along;

Vetted passport application
Appointment slip
Payment receipt
Indigenship certificate
Date of Birth certificate

You’re not doing anything wrong, they aren’t just interested.

bizbro:
Endusers will say “ I’m interested” or “how much” only to ignore me after answering them. My prices no reach $200 sef. What am I doing wrong

Yes, they don’t.

Ziyech:
They don’t request for copy of guarantor’s int’l passport anymore?

Solution no 1; Make sure you don’t bring forth any kids again, those 4 are ok.

We can move to the next solution from there.

Perhaps their infos don’t match.
BVN + DOB + Names.

Onegai:
OP, another person offline (with me) says it didn't work for them.

You mean after imputing your BVN, Date of Birth and names?

lordm:
No record was found for mine, is that supposed to be?

As it has been mandatory by 2026 that you won’t be able to perform any banking transactions without having your Tax ID/TIN, here’s how you can generate it online with no hassle and at no cost.

I just did mine now and was given a certificate of registration confirmation from the Joint Tax board (JTB).

- visit the Joint Tax Board (JTB) registration portal at www.https://jtb.gov.ng/apply-for-tin/

- Locate the “Register for TIN” tab and choose if you’re generating for Individual (Yourself) of Non-individual (Business/Co-operates) etc.

- Enter your BVN, NIN, Date of Birth and other required info to generate your TIN.

- A confirmation letter with a certificate will be sent to your provided email.

That’s all, it’s easy-peasy!

The amount of money you pay for every members of the family for using public infrastructure.

The higher the members of each family, the more money they pay to government.

So, if you’re a polygamist, you’ll know what you’re in for, you can’t just be stressing public infrastructure by your penal action.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

Nothing.
Just got the approval mail from NIS some 5 days later.

kenneyyice:
Please what did you do to change it cause mune is still showing awaiting approval. Today makes it a week that I paid for it.

Apt!

My Status has been vetted this morning.
Thanks to all DIY fam.

Tomorrow and Monday were nearest available day for my appointment, I thank God I booked Monday and not tomorrow that has been declared a public holiday.

Wow, I really appreciate.
How many days does it takes to be vetted?
I can see you submit your application last week Thursday, same as mine.

[quote author=dennisworld1 post=136662010][/quote]

Can you screenshot your vetted application status, mine still showing waiting for approval.
Blur personal info.
Thanks.

dennisworld1:
yeah. Did that already after application status shows vetted waiting for 24th September

Keep trying, I also received this before it finally went through.

9wkgb:
A properly lit photograph was used. It passed the photo compliance test on same immigration website.

For illustration purpose, the error message is attached. You might notice no specific issue related to picture was mentioned.

Try what I said this morning.

9wkgb:
Hi, I doubt this has anything to do with picture quality or lighting issues. I've been dealing with same issue since thursday night as well. A picture that passed test compliance couldn't be uploaded. Was up for almost 2hours in the middle of the night hoping it will go through but kept getting same message - "picture upload processing couldn't be processed at this time"

This was the biggest issue I encountered Infact, I almost gave up here before it was later accepted.

This was how I did it, don’t use a saved picture in your photos/gallery.

Go out to a well light/bright area with white background and take a clear/crisp picture, screenshot it, resize it to fit, then submit it.

Better if you can get a very good camera phone like Iphone.

kenneyyice:
Good Morning, how do I complete the passport upload phase. have tried it severally and the error message is "CAO Compliance Issue(s)
Your image processing request cannot be processed at this time, please try again later."

Barblow:
I can't upload photo, it kept on giving attached message.

Hi, I’ve also booked an appointment at the Alimosho office on Sep. 8, what were the documents you go with on your Biometrics day?

Did your Application status changed to ‘Approved’ before you proceed with biometrics?
What’s the overall experience at the centre?

Thanks.

aliadi2:
Good evening so I went for capturing today at alimosho office Lagos and I took along all the documents I uploaded and they asked for everything and am done with it very quick and easy . No bribe no extortion.... On the confirmation I saw that the collection date is 25/09/2025 that's more than 6 weeks can I go there when it is 6 weeks. Also the slip says alausa Lagos whereas it is alimosho that I did it also my guarantor name on the confirmation slip isn't who I entered.

As the prices for passports has been geometrically increased starting from September 1, 2025, as announced by The Nigerian Immigration , I quickly cashed in on the old prices.

32 pages of 5yrs validity that was 50k now becomes 100k while the 60 pages of 10yrs validity that was 100k now becomes 200k.

just did mine this afternoon on the website for same old price, 60 pages,100k plus 4k processing fee making 104k in total and already booked an appointment for Biometrics on September 8.

Processing center - Alimosho, Lagos.
Application is seamless including payments, great website overall.

Visit https://www.passport.immigration.gov.ng and start your application before the grace window closes within this night and tomorrow.

Gracias. ✌️

No, you got it wrong.
You went to start application for Nigerians in overseas, hence it brings out list of countries .

Once you’re a Nigerian living in Nigeria, you just click on the green tab and start your application.

I just did mine this afternoon on the website for same old price, 70 pages,100k plus 4k processing fee making 104k in total and already booked an appointment for Biometrics on September 8.

DenreleDave:
Sequel to the announcement that passport will now cost 100k, I tried to go to immigration website and book one down at 50k. I should have done this since 2023 when it was 25k but I knew there was no money to do anything like japa. Then 2024, it increased to 50k but I still don't see any urgent need as there is no money to process japa but today, I thought of booking one down at 50k before it is increased to 100 by Sept 1, I realize that they intentionally remove Nigeria from the list of processing countries.

This is wickedness from the Nigerians authorities. Upon the hardship this govt has put us through, they still decided to increase INTL passport fee by 100%..... This govt has come to destroy Nigerians..... This is pure wickedness and hardship brought upon us by senators, representatives, governors and President.....

How can a nation be so callous to her citizen?

The science of human nature.
