This is very true

YoshihideSuga:
Hi,

Please, how true is it that 10-year old validity passports can only be processed in Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcourt centres?

Very accurate

YourVILAGEpeple:
I just checked NIS website... Passport costs 17,500 Via DIY... Now real is this?

You should be able to retrieve the application as long as you have paid.

And it expires after a year I think, so you have to get the passport in that time frame.

daintyprincess:
After paying, the webpage went so fast, couldn't get anything. I think I was redirected to guarantor's form

And does this receipt expiry date have any effect?

I didn't pay immediately after registration. I got to the payment part like last month and couldn't attend to it till today

Were you able to get the application ID and reference number? If yes search for NIS portal status query. You should find a page/ section that allows you use your application ID and Ref number to retrieve the application form and receipt etc.

Alternatively check your e-mail inbox (and spam) for an e-mail from nis which should have the application if and reference number for you.

If these options don't work, then send them an e-mail or call or message on FB.

All the best.

Hello. You can go on the nis immigration page. You should find an email and contact number for enquiries / complaints. You can call or send an e-mail.

Sometimes there is a live chat option, where you can live chat and lay your complaints.

You can also message them on face book.

As per what to do next after paying, print out the receipt, acknowledgement slip and form along with the required documents and head to the passport office of choice for submission.
You don't necessarily need an appointment date to submit.

All the best!

Please I need your help. Paid for the epassport online and there was no direction as to what next to be done. I tried checking application status and it's telling me no application found
What do I do, please

At the moment NIN is not required outside of Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

Lordfiido:
please is the nin needed for fresh application for the standard passport(i.e those states that re not lagos and Abj). I have an error on my NIN and I heard it takes forever to effect the changes. I heard other states don't necessarily need the NIN. Please help guys

Thank you very much. Please do you know the name of the Facebook page?

You can try sending a message on Facebook to ask. Some people have had success with that.
Also if you don't live far away you can physically check. You may be lucky.

BoluwajiPieters:
One month after my capturing at the new immigration office, Ilorin and I'm yet to get anything tangible as regards if the passport is ready or not. I'm thinking of going there to check myself around the first/second week of October, fair enough?

I think some people have had success messaging on facebook and providing their enrollment number. Maybe you can try this.

secretly:
What wrong with ikoyi office fgs?

Since June 28 I captured, my passport (32 pages) not still ready I even tried checking my application status online today but the response I was getting repeatedly was “Application Not Found” and I checked the same portal eailer last month it took me to my passport status but now it saying “Application Not Found”
“Strictly DIY”

Is anyone experiencing the same problem/delay?

Please how did you go about getting captured diy.
Did you have to wait for a long time? Did you capture the same day
Currently there and I am waiting to be captured. Been waiting for a while.
Thanks

Josskute:
Just collected mine at Abuja headquarters. Fully DIY, captured in June. Thanks everyone for the help.

Change of name due to marriage costs the same as renewal 17,000 or 25,000 depending on the location.

You need your expired passport plus a photocopy of the data page, consent letter from husband, photocopy of husband's passport data page, marriage certificate, affidavit, newspaper publication and NIN for Lag, PH, Abj.
You will also need to write an application letter to the PCO.

lady25:
Hello house. How much would it cost for change of nam due to marriage and what documents do my need. My old passport has my maiden name on it but has now expired

Hello all.
I changed my middle and surname after marriage. I was at Abeokuta passport office to do change of name (DIY) today and was told it is best for me to do change of name on my passport in Abuja.
Please has anyone had success doing this outside Abuja?

Ps -Abeokuta is quite DIY friendly. I found it very organized and people were quite wiling to help. The lady attending to me made several calls and kept going to confer with other people and teasing me for doing self download. The only thing is that time from capture for DIY/ self download is like 4 - 6 weeks. And they don't have booklets at the moment so they have a backlog ( overheard this while waiting).

It is possible to change your centre if you haven't captured and it is in the same price range (17k versus 26k). I initially paid for another control but they helped me change it to Abeokuta when I had complaints. I printed out a new payment slip, acknowledgement slip and form. You can open the portal and do the live chat. They respond quite promptly.

Lastly, some people asked about Ibadan. I was there this week and was told they have produced passports from June and July so if you captured then you may want to check again.

Hope this helps.
