The only way passport processing can be seamless is to remove the human element as much as possible.
Log in to the NIS platform.
Register a profile.
Fill the required form
Submit all required documents
Pay via Remita
Wait for an appointment date for capturing
Print your acknowledgment slip and proceed to the nearest processing center.
Capture and expect your passport via courier in about 4-6 weeks..

Doesn't that sound nice but no.. the corruption won't allow them do that.. rather they prefer the choking miasma of people to flood and overflow at the NIS passport offices in order to create a chaotic frustrating atmosphere that encourages corruption..

I heard it's now like that now...
Is it true?

Stop thinking about Nigeria of yesterday, I know you're yet to believe that things are beginning to change for good in our very eyes. Register online, make payment, wait for invitation for biometrics. The whole process takes 3 - 4 weeks irrespective of the state you are in.

There's also no congestion at passport office again so feel free to make your payment.

Okay... Thank you for responding.
It's not about thinking of yesterday, it's very rational, normal, expected of me to ask.

Me considering using it after seeing the portal, examining it well, and seeing how different it feels, is a sign that I sensed that there may have been some Improvements and I'm willing to use them, despite knowing how Naija dey, so that's commendable of me.
Your first lines were not worded well at all.

Also the issue of congestion, it definitely exists. Right there on the Portal, some places especially outside Lagos and Abuja, the appointment date was 2 weeks earlier compared to all the Lagos, Abuja locations & Offices, and other major places in the country.
So Yes, state is also a Factor.

Hello people, do you think it's okay to pay via the online portal? Or that would be a heavy mistake?
If you've used it, How fast would you say it is?
Would it better to use normal insider connect and all? That's one
Secondly, if online is okay, what State(s) NIS offices do you know that are Fast when it comes to processing international passport?

I have a feeling that some states' immigration offices with less population and not too much Load, would be faster, and one would get his/her passport more quickly.


(i'm asking all this, in light of the News here and there, as well as some comments saying Using online portal is getting very much better)

Is something else attached to this conversation or what? Why the emotion and outbursts??

A man said Binance is so so and so, and I replied simply... You are here shouting senselessly

Make your research on Binance yourself.

Binnace is literally saying 1112, 1113 per dollars
There is no 'research' to make, all you basically have to do is open the app and see the current market Price
And I'm telling you the price right now as I'm posting this
Yesterday as at the time he made that post, he was incorrect too, well Above 1000... Per dollar

Kachidubem:
What the rate now...

It's 1112, 1113...

Ikaeniyan0:
How much usdt did you buy?

usdt is presently less than 1k. I don't see usdt rising up to 1300 again this year unless the CBN stop paying the forex backlog and don't also get all the billions of dollars they are expecting.

Where did you buy it at less than 1k??
As at when you posted this at 4:25pm, it was well above 1k
So where did you buy yours at less than 1k?

I saw a thread on the front page a few days ago, titled "Can This Happen At Nigerian Embassies?"

The thread had a pic depicting a lady's social media post about getting an emergency US passport in a few hours, at a US embassy.
In that thread, the overarching sentiment of posts was - that could never happen at a Nigerian embassy.

Well, the definitive answer is.. YES, it can and it does.
I know this, because I did it only 3 months ago. A standard Nigerian passport renewal, not an emergency passport like thaty lady got.
And no, I'm not talking about any "back doors" or "greasing" any palms.

I responded in that thread, but felt it's also relevant to emphasize it in detail in a new thread. Nigeria is incredibly incompetent at most things, but once in a while, something works. As they say, even a broken clock is correct once a day.


Just for context, I travel with a US passport, but use my Nigerian passport when going to Nigeria, or some African countries.
I've renewed my US and Nigerian passports in multiple countries (as I travel quite a bit), so I've had some experience with both.

From the screenshot in that previous thread, it's clear the lady was NOT in the US when she got the emergency passport. In the US, we don't go to an "embassy" to get a passport, as "US embassies" don't exist in... the US. The emergency passport is no big deal and comes with only 5 or 6 pages, so you still need a standard renewal when you get home.

Also, the current estimated time for a US passport within the US is 11 weeks, and the "rush" service is 5-7 weeks. There has been a lot of passport backlog, similar to the situation in Nigeria, but it's a bit better now, I believe. I renewed my US passport in Argentina last year, and got it in about 2 weeks.

Anyway, I went to Brasilia, Brazil 3 months ago, to renew my Nigerian passport, as that was the only passport-issuing location in the region I was traveling. I first visited the Nigerian embassy in Argentina and was told they don't produce passports, but I could get it in Brazil on the same day. I was very skeptical of that information, because... Nigeria.

As it turns out, the entire process from getting there, to receiving my new passport was a few hours. It wasn't some emergency passport either. It was a standard passport. I paid online > booked an appointment > went there. Paid an administrative fee > did the capturing and walked out with my new passport all in 2-3 hours. I was literally the only person being attended to at the Nigerian embassy, though. It was empty, except about 4-6 embassy staff I saw. The guy who attended to me was also very polite and professional (something lacking in most Nigerian operations).

So, not only can you get your international passport at a Nigerian embassy in a few hours, it's a permanent passport - not an emergency one. Shout out to the Nigerian embassy in Brasilia, Brazil. The embassy in New York is a different story. Took me many months and headaches to renew there, in 2017.

The attached image is from a video I took outside the Nigerian embassy, in Brazil.

How much did you pay?
