PrinceFola:
fill the four parts and leave their grammar alone..... My guarantor filled everything and it was accepted.

Thanks

FisayoYe:



Note that I left the Alausa office at 1.15pm. Just get there early enough and you will finish in time.

Please help with this. Am getting confused with the if not related part.

phlakkeys:

You can confirm by tracking your application.
If it's not showing NIN verification failed, you are good to go.

Will the NIN box get ticked before I go for capturing?

Dayhorla:


It is. My capturing went smoothly but that collection ehn... I thought collection would be faster but that wasn't the case when I went

Did you go to open file a day before?

Dayhorla:

Ohh okay

Please. Aside original, how many copies do I need to make.

PrinceFola:
Yes, someone that has passport

A vailid one?
My aspiring guarantor has expired, can he still be used as guarantor?

Dayhorla:

Alausa passport office showed me pepper yesterday before I collected my passport. We were on the queue outside their compound for hours because the halls were full. If you captured before Nov 5th, your passport is most likely ready unless you had NIN issues. Heard the new method for collection is to give people with Last name starting with A & O on Monday,Wednesday and Friday. The other days are for other alphabets(i don't understand this too)

Capture; 18th Oct
Issued; 8th December
Collection; 18th Jan
Mind you, I was at their office Dec 14 and was told my passport was UP only for me to see the issue date. I'm just glad I'm done with that.

Quick question please, does anyone have an idea of how to re-print appointment slip if lost? I want to reprint for my nephew, I've search all over that portal and all I'm getting is to reschedule appointment.

Kai. I thought they said Alausa is friendly to DIYs.

Well got to the centre before 7:30.

I had passport photograph with me but I just decided to snap and I was charge 1k for 8. The woman that snapped the passport for me said they won't accept the with file with me. I bought a brown one from her for 500. Very expensive.

I proceed to the gate, we were allowed to enter according to our arrival. I was giving a tally of #10. Then the man who gave me the tally said I will have to pay a compulsory administration fee, I smiled within myself. I do away with 3k. I sat down. And they brought the file, my name wasn't called (hmm, I sha know say I go capture today, can't miss work and won't still capture.)

Then the officer said if you are billed for today and ur name is not mentioned, go to servicom. I got to servicom and explain myself, the officer ask me who did it for me and I said I did it online. He looked at me and I responded I already see an officer. He said I should meet the officer I saw. I went to the officer and he said I should chill. That they will call my name.

I waited for another long period, names were been called and my name wasn't called. I work up to the officer again and he said I should çhill. Those been called have been here before and their files have passed through all the required offices/tables.

My name was eventually called pass 11. Went to an office. Signed and passport collected from Mr. Was told to wait till outside. I was later called for capturing room around 12:31pm. I waited patiently for my turn. I capture and left the facility exactly 1:02pm.

Was told passport will be ready in 2-3weeks. But on the slip give to me. Collection is on the 23rd of January.

A lot people I saw there actually paid agent to run the whole thing.

Thank you all on this forum for been helpful. This forum gave me confidence to pursue this DIY.

Total money spent is 29k

How many copies of each document is required for submission?

tobijas001:

Home address

Please, can you shed more light on the particulars of asset column?

And also. Is my guarantor supposed to fill the form first after which I then make copies, or I make copies first, he then fills them all?

tobijas001:

Home address

Thank you.

ekitimanalways:

Yes, of course you can get it signed.
Have fantastic day.

Gracias.

I used my residential address.

OK. Thanks

Go to you local government secretariat or your State Liaison Office in the State you reside, go straight to the state of origin certificate application office and request to correct the error with your state of origin certificate. You will be giving another form to fill in your correct details, this time make sure all your details are correct as you need them to be. All you will be requested for is the correction charges and a new certificate charges. This won’t be more than 1,500 Naira or 2000 Naira

After that you will have to wait while the certificate is printed and signed. This whole process takes a few hours, so it is very possible for you to just wait and collect your certificate that same day.

Make sure to go with your previous certificate for the reason of confirmation or else you will be asked to apply for a new certificate and begin the process as new.

Can I get the guarantor's form signed at the court even if my capturing date is about a month away?

Are you doing your International Passport by yourself in Ibadan office, kindly follow this step for smooth experience:-

* Go a day to your capturing at any time of the day just to arrange and submit your file.
* Then go the next day, which should be your capturing day before 9am so that you can hear your name in the first batch and quickly take your file to Account Office, do Verification/Interview.
* Pray you won't have NIN issue; this you will know, when you track your application online.
* Then wait till they are done with their contract applicant around 3pm to 4pm if they ain't much or 6pm if otherwise when you will be called for capturing.

If you ain't having NIN issue, you will do your capturing that second day, but if you have NIN issue, you will need to go the 3rd day early morning when there will be NIN network to correct the issue, track online to be sure the NIN has being corrected, go to the Production Office to confirm that your file has gone to Enrollment room for capturing, then go and play and come back around 3pm when they will possibly have time for DIY to do capturing.

Should you plan to do everything on same capturing day:-
* Go to the office before 8am.
* Go to the photocopy stand and buy the white file,
* Come with A4 paper and ask for a copy of the Application Letter and write it.
* Ask for a copy of Application Form and fill it.
* Arrange your file accordingly and take to the Front Office.
If you are lucky and fast enough, you will be called with the first batch i.e. those that came before that day to open file.
* When called to take file to Account and to Verification/Interview Office, don't dull yourself and make sure all original are correct and ready for siting else, you may need to tip or be asked to go get it.
* When you are done with interview and under the shed, track your application and hope it will be on pending for NIN verification and not NIN verification failed.
* If you have no NIN issue, then go and play and come back around 3pm when if lucky you will be called for capturing.

NB:-
No eye lashes (you will be asked to remove it though)
No white shirt (you will be given their shirt though)
No rough hair (you will be given comb though)
No big hair style (you will be asked to go and loose it)
No oily face (you will be given powder though)
No neck chain (you will be asked to remove and can use back after though)
No need to overdo Photocopies of documents (you can keep the remaining though)

White file is for their applicant and brown file is for DIY.

House please help.

Does the "of" refer to my hometown or what?

You can track it online to see if NIN Verification won't fail.
If it fail, you will need to get your file quickly to the Production Office where NIN Verification is been done to correct NIN early enough before going for Enrollment/Capturing.
If the issue is with name or DOB mismatched, you will be asked to go and change it at NIN office, if not, they will do the correction there.
Normally, it is during capturing that they do detect NIN issue and they will refer you to NIN Verification Office and DIY won't be called for capturing until later hours of the day when there will possibly be network issue or those in verification office would have closed thereby requiring you to go back the next day.
The process is:-
* Front Office for Opening/Arrangement of File
* Account Office for Checking and Signing
* Verification Office for Interview
* Enrollment Office for Capturing
If there is issue with NIN Verification,
* Production Office for NIN Correction
* Back to Enrollment Office for Capturing.

Very insightful. Thanks.

Is there anything that can be done beforehand to ensure that NIN verification does not fail?

YeyeBoyfriend:
it could be sorted without issues but just hold extra 1 to 2k incase they decides to frustrate you based on diy applicant

Alright. Thanks.

YeyeBoyfriend:
on the names or what?

Yes the name.

ekitimanalways:


Yes, you must write an application letter and will be addressed to the Passport Control Officer (PCO)  of Nigeria Immigration Service passport center you intend to get enrolled or captured. Evidence of payment (from the bank and from Nigeria Immigration Service portal for passport application).

Sir.
My certificate of origin has a typographical error, p instead of b.

Do you think this can be overlooked?

Great minds.

This quoted statement is credited to a Nairalander by the username, Justbesure. "It is a very simple thing, enter inside the court where they do affidavit, tell them what you want to do and they will tell you the cost which is 1k mostly. You give them they stamp it for you and your guarantor is not mandated to go with you. Very easy thing, and I don't know why people make it look so difficult without even giving it a trial"

Thanks

ekitimanalways:

Not necessary o!

Thanks. I was worried cos someone here said that the guarantor needs to go along to the court otherwise it won't be signed.

ekitimanalways:

Guarantor not needed for renewal...

Please confirm this, do I need to go with my guarantor to the court?

Piroll:

Yes..that's true about affidavit

Only 1 guarantor

Thanks

Piroll:
Yes,it is enough

How about age declaration(affidavit)?

I saw on a blog that they will only accept this if the birth year is 92 and beyond. How true?

And also, how many guarantor is needed?

kelmicheal:


Opening of file means, Submitting all the required documents into a personal file with your two passport photos attached to it from there you will be given approval for capturing only if all your details are correct

Thanks Boss

As part of docs required, I saw on a blog that that affidavit(age declaration) will only be allowed if the birth year is 1992 and beyond.
How true is this?

And also, how many guarantor will I need?

Thanks.

ADVERTBOARD:
All errors in documentation , NIN validation, all documents needed to be submitted would have been taken care of, without pressure since it's not your capturing date. A file will be created which will be used in calling your name on capture date. Especially if it's fresh application(DIY), go before capture date, don't end up like a family I told who did not listen, they paid 40k naira on capture date, to do documentation despite starting as DIY. Let someone update us if anything has changed in Alausa center.

Thanks Boss.

What will I tell the officials?

ADVERTBOARD:
This is not correct except things have changed in Alausa center.I opened file 3 days before capturing in April this year, and collected passport in July. Opening a file days before capturing will save you from paying unexpected fees. Please update the house if things have changed.

The opening file of a thing, please explain how it aids the process.

kelmicheal:


It's better to go and open file 2 days to capturing date Incase there are incomplete documents/corrections it can be done earlier to avoid stress or better still not capturing on that day

Please, what does the "open file" means?
