DAramis:
do it online because that is the only one recognised going forward (especially if you would be doing any modifications on NIN data )

No feedback for me?

People don't sleep on Nairaland

Theodorice:
I've tried logging in with my NIN and DoB details but it's keeps returning a "wrong NIN details".

What could be the problem?

Check your input very well....there could be an error from your input.

If your input is actually correct, then it might just be a technical issue. So, you have to keep trying.

Theodorice:

i know. They said they bought new equipment to fast track production.

Lies... don't mind them. Passport booklets are not produced in Nigeria.

Ontarioo:
With the whole increments, still till December

Nah...I didn't pay the new fee...read the post well

New fee was implemented Sept 1st, while I made payment successfully on 30th August.

JaceyOpara:
I submitted my application on the 29th and it's also showing "waiting for approval ".

Although, I applied for renewal.

So, I did my capturing yesterday at Ibadan Immigration Office.

Applied for renewal on 29th August after I read about the increase and made payment on 30th August. My application was approved and VETTED on 17th September (quite long), probably because I was renewing for 10 yrs. My initial passport is 5 yrs. Another reason might be because my passport hasn't entered six months to expiration (Na there I take scam Dem, shebi Dem wan scam Nigerians ).

I wasn't in a hurry, so I didn't go for capturing until October 2nd. When I got there and told them what I came for, I was directed to the waiting area. I just sat there hoping that someone will come attend to us (a very big mistake I made!). I finally stood up and went to SERVICOM and the man I met there was not happy with how I was treated. He directed me to where I'd be attended to. I went there submitted my documents but by the time it was my turn for capturing it was past their closing time. Even when someone begged on my behalf they started to look for faults in my application, because I put place of birth as Agege Lagos instead of Lagos. This was a very minor issue that they could correct, but no they wanted to extort me for it and I refused.
I had to come back the next day again (that's yesterday). Lucky I met their boss and he explained that my info wasn't all that accurate, which I acknowledged but he didn't know that his people wanted to extort me. Finally, he said I should wait in line for capturing.
They did their thing and I did my capturing. I was handed a slip with my enrollment number. I tipped the officer that directed me to their Oga 1k and asked him when I should come back for the passport, and he said it should be ready by December.

DIY is the way o
Don't let anyone intimidate you but make sure your details are accurate, otherwise they'll use that as an avenue to extort or punish you.

This is Nigeria!

ICAO Compliance Issue(s)
Your image processing request cannot be processed at this time, please try again later.

Some folks mentioned that they usually outline the specific issues with the photo upload right? So why is it giving a different response now? This people are up to something

This passport stage is a scam , cos when you go for biometrics, you'll be captured and that's what will be on your passport.

Not this ICAO shit we struggled to upload.

Anyways, thank God for everything. Did my capturing yesterday.

jjbest123:
it will come through the SMS route.

Thank you.

jjbest123:
If you don't receive a message from Immigration office after 36 working days(Exclusion of weekends),you can check their office with your collection receipt.

Please, would this message come as SMS or email?

MrOposter:
so what should I do? Go back and complain?

When did you do the change of data? If it was before your biometrics, then it should be resolved by now. If not, head to the Servicom office and lodge your complaint.

autoez:
Can i replace a misplaced passport online

You'd apply for renewal of the passport....while filling the application form for renewal, there's a place where you'd be asked to state reason for renewal. So, you'd select "LOST".

deen4real7902:
Today was my my capturing day at alausa lagos, and i went there with all the issues above. Everything was corrected there and was captured. Cheers to DIY💪💪💪

Congratulations.

Milec:
You can do it.The process is called MIGRATION. you will only pay extra fee. I did the same last year when my passport remain a year to expire

Were you able to do this "migration" online? Or you did everything in the passport office?

Marpol:
It's not a renewal, its called migration.

But there's nothing like migration on their website. So, where is this "term" coming from?

lilbarracuda:
How was it at alausa?
i have an appointed there next week.
since i DIY i know they wont reply me in good time can i go there hours before appointment time because its looking like they don't follow the time

My first passport application was in Alausa (back in 2021). I recently applied for renewal in Ibadan cos I currently reside in Ibadan.

Take note: Recent threads suggest that Alausa is still a friendly passport center for DIY applicants.

You can search those threads and read through the testimonies and experiences of others.

lilbarracuda:
did you go there with your passport photograph?

You can go with it if you have....just to be on a safe side.

Olaoptech:
So, greetings to everyone here. My sincere appreciation goes to Jenifer007 , JaceyOpara , and everyone who contributed to this thread, as it has been constructive.

I will be narrating my experience at the Immigration Office in Ibadan today, so that it can also help those who will be needing this DIY idea and experience soon.

I made my payment (DIY) on 27/08/2025, and my capture was scheduled for today, 03/09/2025, despite having 'Waiting for approval' on my application page. I sent emails and reached out via calls, all to no avail.

So, today, I stepped out to capture and got to the Agodi Immigration Office in Ibadan around a few minutes past 8 in the morning. People were already seated and already reaching out to those who assisted them with the registration.

At 8:50am, an officer came with a bunch of booklets to call out those whose files had been submitted through their respective officer assisting them to process the registration. After calling out the names and marching them towards where they will be captured, I sat there looking like I was the only DIY applicant there. Anyway, I wasn't even expecting my name to be called.

I stood up and walked up to the security guard to ask for the SERVICOM office. I was directed to an office, which I went to, after narrating my ordeal, the officer I met described another SERVICOM office for me... I went there and I met this well-mannered officer who arranged my files, signed them, gave me back, and led me to the next office.

I got to the next office and my booklet was collected, the officer there started asking me some questions to confirm if the application truly belongs to me. Then he signed and asked me to go and sit under the shade.

While sitting, people were already reaching out to those who helped them with their application, while I was patiently sitting, waiting for a miracle from SERVCOM. At around 12:15pm, this officer walked in again and called names. Lo and behold, I was among. He narrated that there was a network issue, which was why we were delayed. So, we sat at the seat provided to us closer to the Capturing office, and by 1:00pm, I was already done with my capturing. Even the birth Certificate and Other documents aside my registartion slip were not requested.

So, after capturing, the man wrote a paper for me, with a number, and I signed it.....While I was about to leave, he held my hands and asked me to tip him. I jokingly told him I am broke pass the lowest earner in this office, and every one of them laughed. I promised him that when I come back for my passport, I will surely prepare something for him, and he said no problem.

That's not all, back to my benefactor, SERVICOM. I went back to the man, I greeted him, and appreciated him. I wasn't with much, so I thanked him with the 2k in my pocket. That was how I did my Registration without paying those outrageous fees being called by those people there.

Do It Yourself is Bae.

Summary

Payment made on 27/08/2025
Captured on 3/09/2025

Awaiting notification to come pick up my passport.

Thank you everyone for your guidiance.

I'm popularly known as OLAOPTECH on all social media

Well done and congratulations.

Olaoptech:
Thanks boss, for coming to my aid.

I was born in 1992, which means I can still use the one issued by the local government of my birth.

Also, is it compulsory for the documents I will take long to be in Colour?

It is not compulsory at all.

wiltechafrica1:
What I'm asking is will it affect anything during biometric?

It is required that all your personal information are accurate and consistent.
It could be an issue if found.

Domainer1999:
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.

I submitted my application on the 29th and it's also showing "waiting for approval ".

Although, I applied for renewal.

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

That's great.

dennisworld1:
Thank God I did mine yesterday and paid the 52k for 5 years. Waiting for appointments date already

You have to book an appointment by yourself.

9wkgb:
Hi, appreciate the response. It's been fixed. There was actually a mistake with the person's date of birth. Thank you.

Oh... that's good to know. You're welcome.

Manutd19:
6 weeks after biometrics, I went to pick up my passport at the Alausa branch yesterday and was told it would take another 3 weeks cos I did it by myself (online)....but it can be ready next day if I pay for fast track.

I just weak

No answer them oo....if you don't live far from Ikeja, you can visit there at least once in a week to see if your passport is ready and then you collect it.

9wkgb:
I tried registering for a new passport application this afternoon and it's saying NIN is invalid - tried again right now and it's still same.

Has anyone else experienced it or it's from their website? Thanks

Note: NIN entered is correct and valid.

If the system says NIN is invalid, then there must be an issue. Better still try again in the midnight hour or before dawn to avoid traffic on the site....that could also be the issue.

buttlover:
On hearing about the passport fee hike, I rushed to pay for renewal 52k immediately today 29th August on the website for the 32pages 5years. The payment was successful. I am curious to know if the price hike will affect me on the appointment date being 1st September.? Will they request for additional fee to sum up 100k?. As man pickin no fit afford 100k for this kin Tinubu suffering

The hike won't affect you, since your payment was made before Sept 1st and it was successful.

dammyco:
try Abeokuta passport office. You can easily get your passport there, renewal or new

What are the current prices please? I also stay in Ibadan. Abeokuta seem a little far from me though

dammyco:
100k no be small money o. Weitin be the guarantee sey the person go travel within 5years

Hey guys, please can I apply for renewal now to avoid paying the new fee? Is that possible? And how much is the old fee for both 32 pages 5 yrs and 64 pages 10 yrs?

GeeKudi:

dawnomike:
