Please where did you apply for your 10years passport and what's the duration of the waiting time. Did you follow the DIY process or Express

I submitted on the 3rd, captured on the 5th of March collected on the 6th of April, I did have the time to go on the date written on the collection slip and besides I wanted to wait it out a little bit so I don't waste my time coming to NIS Alausa.

Check previous pages, I started my DIY with a mistake, I filled the form online, made a mistake on my DOB. I mailed NIS two days later they replied saying its rectified only to go to Alausa on the 3rd and be told of the same error. I had to write a formal letter to the chief officer requesting my DOB be corrected as reflected on my NIMC and BC.

Process DIY
Time Roughly 30 Days
Application Online
Price 70,000

Just check JaceyOpara revised version, should be in page 205 or so.

Passport expiration is always on your birthday on the 5th year of the passport if your passport carries 5yrs exp. date.

Eg. If you applied for passport (5yrs) in April and was issued to you same April, 2021 and your birthday is in 30 december, that means your passport will expiry 30 december 2026.

This is not correct sir. I did capture on the month of march, got it April. Issuance on passport says march 2021,expires march 2031. That birthday system is for driver's license.

I'm sure lots of people here didn't read the whole epistle.

So I just realised that, there are certain business requirements that only the president can approve, interesting.

JaceyOpara:
I can't really say......but once you choose to use PayArena, it'll bring out the cards that's acceptable. You'll see it on the site.

Payarena
Make una no near them oo.
I mailed customer care/NIS service for portal reflection. That's a starter pack wahala one should avoid.

If one has the funds it's best to do 10 years. I did the same in January. So at least one does not have to deal with this mess for another 10 years. Hopefully, by then things have improved, and the renewal process is not as demanding and stressful.

Righly said. 10yrs NIS-Wahala-free.

JaceyOpara:
Congratulations boss......and thanks a lot (smiles...)

Greater heights!!

Amen & Amen.. These passports will go places IJN.

teepha:
Please is there a way I can get my passport at alausa if I wasn't given enrollment number or collection slip?

No sir.

Just collected mine at Alausa, 10yrs 64 pages DIY of course.

JaceyOpara I'm glad you got yours too.

JaceyOpara:
If u follow the discussion clearly, you'll see that I mentioned that NIN is likely to be the problem. But the guy said he doesn't think he has any problem with his NIN cos they didn't mention anything of that sort to him.

Anyways, I wish us best of luck.

Try enter Alausa this week, I believe you should get a positive outcome this time.

Amtooblessed:
Walahi, I no understand the first 5 lines of this write up.

Same here, coming from a final year student.

Is Mr Adewale Tinubu a member of the Tinubu family?

orlahtohbadt:
I think we should take advantage of NIS official twitter handle. They are really helping the situation.

But them never respond to my tweet since morning abi na because of the new building they opened today?

JaceyOpara:

BTW you don get your PP?

david290:
I have all documents in tact; she confirmed that herself except of course the three copies of the receipts which I read from their website only one is required and that you also corroborated in your reply. If you're familiar with the Ilorin office along Apata Yakuba, I'd appreciate if you could direct me to specific unit/department as it's almost impossible to avoid these folks when one doesn't know their way around. The woman by the way gave me her name and phone number and I'm keeping it for reference since Immigration often jump to the defense of their erring staffs, with their Twitter page in particular daring complainants to publish "proof".

If you check the DIY review list from jaceyopkara here, you receipts should be two copies, just photocopy or so, just photocopy all the acknowledgement and payment slip again and head straight to servicom if anyone calls you do like say you no hear and straight to servicom

How are you guys checking the status of your application?

Use your id and reference number as pass

While the above poster is concerned about money to be looted, I am more concerned about the future of the whole thing.
You ask questions like;
Are these people in government following recent trends in automobile industries where various sources of energy other than crude oil are now being harness for a cleaner and eco friendly environment?
Do they know that top automobile industry will shut down production of crude oil powered vehicles in the nearest future?
If they know all these why indebt the nation in the future for the younger generation?

uyogabie:
Booklets now available,my kids got theirs on Thursday,18th.

Hi, which center?

Well that's unilorin in that picture.

This is terrible, I remember one guy in Unilorin, same thing he did because he could not meet the 1.5cgpa minimum for economics.

I saw him at a friend's place when I was in my finals only for my friend to tell me that the guy has been around since, collecting school fees and rent from his parent.

This is sad, the guy trying to chest compression is even doing it wrongly.. I think BLS should be taught in school even is secondary schools.

The first few pages of this thread and the Immigration website I read a couple of weeks ago stated that National ID suffices as a means of identification for the Guarantor. Upon loading the Immigration website that I had bookmarked earlier I can now see that only Passport, and in fact, the new E-passport, is acceptable as a means of identification for the Guarantor. Has anyone recently had success with or knows if other means of identification, in particular, the National ID will work?

I think you could be right, as at February when I submitted my files, the officer in charge returned the nimc of my guarantor, took only the passport data page and the rest duly signed.

These are beautiful baba lee, good to see the world getting on post Covid-19

Forzzzza milannnn!

Forza Milan.. I hope we do much better in the second half

GreatSage:
Guys na 22k for 64pages standard epassport dem bill me, shey e dae legit like this?
By the way what if I miss my interview date, can I reapply for another interview date?

I hope you clicked standard epassport rather than the official epassport

Forza Milan

damoceile:
good day sir, pls I have a couple of question to ask.
1) my guarantor doesn't have a driver's license.. would he be allowed to make use of his National ID card and passport alone.

2) pls do you know where immigration office is located in Ibadan..

Nimc is valid.

Why ibadan? Alot of people complaining since last year.

Zobah:
For those people asking about passports in Lagos, My cousin got mine hers in a month from Dec 2020 to Jan 2021.

Apply online, make payments (₦30,000) and then go to immigration office ( she used alausa) with all requested docs ( NiMC slip is a must). You might have to spend just an hour to get attended to and have a file created. Next is capturing which is within a week.

The big gap is in collecting the booklet. That's where original date that fell within 2 weeks was extended by another 2 at which point she picked up passport. All the days she was there she didn't spend up to 2 hours for either stage.

What it looked like to me whenever she was there is that people are apprehensive of online registration, believing they need someone on ground to process for them. By her experience the online registered ppl are a tiny fraction in there. she had no hold up at any point because I didn't know an officer on ground

Same thing I noticed, although I did my capture on the 3rd day after submitting my application.
