pls i need advise

To the best of my knowledge u can only get a re-issue from their head office in Abuja.
If u have a copy of the passport u don't need to come just give someone (family or friend) the passport number and they will get a re-issue for u in Abuja.
Re-issue is more difficult nowadays. U will need a Police report,the passport number and bribe
When i lost mine in 2009 i got a re-issue within 10 days in Abuja for 25k.

@oyewolejos, Bruv I need to do re-issue myself, do u knw any immigiration officer out there in Abuja that i can contact. Need it asap. hope to hear from u

rather than buyin flight ticket to nija.have any one got re issue out side nija
pls reply it urgent

pls

Unfortunately and funny enough NO Nigerian embassy abroad will re issue you with epassport. You can only do that in Nigeria. You can only get new epassport abroad only if you were using the standard passport
I still do not understand the reason why they are not re issuing epassport at Nigeria embassy abroad.
As regard to your child bearing your surname, I don't think you need your passport even if you are not married. At the hospital or maternity clinic that your wife will give birth they have to registered you as the father of the child once your partner or wife consent to that. So that shouldn't be bothering you.

I can't really remember the guy name but there are alot of guys there. If u get to their office just try to talk to an officer from there they should link u up with runs man among them.
Talk to them one on one and u should be able to get u one without any hassle. It takes alot of paperwork for them to re-issue so u have to be patient.

I just told u i did it myself. They don't need your fingerprint they already have it in their database.
They only need their boss a replacement and they will print u another one immediately.
Dont make things difficult than they appear.

I went to their office and made a deal with someone there and gave him money and i left Abuja and told my cousin to send it to me when it's out. 10 days after i left i got my passport and they didn't have to take my biometrics again since it's with them.
Send one of your friends their with your passport number and money and u will get your Passport no matter where u are

Passport so many complications may God help you

Shouldn't hesitate i recently got hook in thesame scenerio, but thanks God here in Saudi the machine for E-passport is available, i think wat u need to do is have a deal with an embassy worker in the country you are to process it for you.
Re-issuing is a problem in naija also, May God help!!

i am writing you directly from italy. i believe everything is possible in that criminal embassy rome. touts has taken over the embassy, bribery and corruption is the order of the day in nigerian embassy rome,so you must be ready to pay bribe for every services and your passport will be re-issued. but hold atleast 1400 euro for it.

bros, you don't need to stay up to 2 days if you are willing to pay bribe because it is always cash and carry. but should be incase you insist in sleeping there, i can asure you that hotels are very cheap, or you can still move to napoli and get a cheaper or cheapest hotel, the same napoli can still give you the chances of buying italian original shoes and wears at cheap rate, rome/roma and unmentionable/napoli are very close. as for the phone no of the embassy insiders to call, i will give you any time you want it.

Hi Akon2013

I also live here in South Africa,Cape Town, I lost my e-passport early this year and I was planning to go home (Nigeria)for the re-issue of the e-passport. I need your help to save me from this trip.

If you are in Europe you can reissue your E passprt at Nigeria embassy in D hague Holland but it is too expensive, the embassy have even wrote the price for lost and reissue e passport request on their website which is 250 euros + 40 euros administrative charge + $65 Nigeria immigration fees, if you calculate all, person fit go naija come back

But if any1 know or have experience on reissue process particularly in Europe kindly share your experience with us. ESe, Dalu, Nagode
