Pls who has the immigration official contact at Abuja the ones I have isn't going through
They're insisting they won't capture me unless I get the officer that did it for me ���
And it's DIY

they wont capture you that what? Search through this thread... someone gave an explicit description of how to move/maneuver if doing it yourself in abuja. It was very detailed.
Sorry you are going through this, do not let them get to you.
Another thin is to ask directly for servicom desk, dress properly and be firm. And ask the right questions. Do not act as if obtaining a Nigerian passpt is not your right

lymelyte:
Can i renew my passport with visa on it? Will the visa be affected as a result of the new passport? Will passport number change?

if u renew a passport, the new passport tht comes will come with a different number however it does not affect the validity of a visa. Simply affix old passport and new passport together and move with both passports when travelling.

TheBanker23:

Nanomat:
Pls someone needs advice. She wants to renew her passport which was collected before she got married. She's married now and she wants the new passport to bear her husband name. How will she go about it? The NIN also bears her formal name

where is she going to apply from?

samistry:
Good morning. Please I need clarification about the cost of the 32 page standardpassport. It's listed as 17000 in some places while in others is 25000.

that is because of the slight difference. There is e passport and then enhanced e ppt.
E passport is issued in every state except 3.. and it costs 17k
Enhanced e passport is what is issued in Lagos. abuja and Rivers and is 25k
Not much difference and both passports are valid for travel.

merrijosh:
Hello guys, can I go to the passport office before my scheduled interview date? 24th April seems too far for me.

yes u can go... just be firm and not easily pushed

Amaa2019:
Please, I need a clarification from those that just got their passports after many months of trying. Is the expiry date calculated from time of biometric capture or from time of printing the passport? I need answer pls having captured since January

expiry date is from whenever the passport was printed... the day ur passport is printed in real life will determine when it will expire

shawnmich:
Like how much do you spent in total then? Do you just walk in to the immigration office at Abuja or you know someone that expedite the process for you?
Thanks

pay the administrative fee urself online. It is 30k or so then I think you could go to Abuja to follow up. Once it is accepted, then u wud be asked to pay for the passport.
For u to be able to know it is accepted, then u wud receive a code. .. i am not too sure
I know this can be effected in abuja.

Kellyd2:
I need my BVN slip. How can I get it?

bvn slip is collected from bank

[quote author=chuddyforlife post=100583776][/quote]pay with ur atm card.
If u choose pay at bank, u print the details and go to the bank. At the bank u tell them u want to pay for this via pay arena I think.
Once the payment is processed they will give u receipt at the bank.. on this receipt there is a code that starts with Validation code.
Without this code no going forward. Come back to the portal and log into ur application.
Input this V code and then u wud be able to print out NIS receipt and acknowledgment slip.

The paying with ur bank card is easier

chuddyforlife:
Pls house whats the best method to make payment as a first timer
and how do i go about urgent reply needed

The new enhanced E passport 32 pages valid 5 years is 25k
64 pages valid 5 years is 35k
64 pages valid 10 years is 70k
Note these prices only for Lagos, Abuja and Rivers... and all ages will pay same price for ONLY these 3 locations

If you are in the other 33 states price is as follows

32 pages valid for 5 years 17,800
64 pages valid for 5 years 23,000
Children less than 16 and adults 60 and above pay 11,000 for 32 pages valid for 5 years.


Anything asides this is entering the official’s passport.
If you are applying in Nigeria, U dnt need any immigration officer to help you, pay online, print ur receipts and forms online and go with all ur documents to their office.
Any documentary requirements tht will be asked are specifically stated on the portal below.

https://immigration.gov.ng/standard-passport/

Then when u want to apply go here and click on fresh passport if u have never had a passport. If u have had a passport click kn renewal

https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/pages/welcome


U will need ur guarantor’s form, filled stamped and sworn abi signed at the high court by commissioner of oaths. That shud be 500 naira
Then guarantor shud also give u one passport photo, data page of his intl passport data and then his or her driver’s licence or NIN

Documents for you are

josephsm823:

mosix4real:
NIMC is another case. My wife registered for NIMC in 2013 and got card in 2019. The attendant collected her slip before giving her the card. Now that she is married, she wants to do a change of name. They told her to bring the same slip they collected. It now seems that the slip supercedes the card. The process seems simple on NIMC's website, however, the reality is worst. At Alausa, you have to queue at the gate (with a thousand other people) and they would collect your name to comeback in 3 months. A center Sometimes, it seems like the country want to deliberately force us to stay.
This alone is frustrating me. Any help here?

if she insists on doing a name change then she has to change her name on her NIN first before going for e- passport as long as she will be applying in Lagos- this is because lagos applications require NIN
The other thing would be to renew her current passport which will make her to continue using her maiden name. Nothing wrong too

IJEYdiamond:
Getting an international passport after 10years of having a first one...Is one going for renewal. Or is it a fresh passport one is going to process??

Like not having a passport before!

u are going for renewal not fresh as long as u had an e-passport before.

Bobority:
Can someone please help me with the step by step process for RENEWING passport. Someone said I should bring 50k and 5k to fast track which makes it 55k. Please help o. Would I also need NIN? Thanks I’m advance.

u dnt need to pay 50k to anyone. The steps are on this thread..
If u are applying in Lagos, Abuja and Rivers passprt is 26k and these are the only 3 places u need NIN.. anywhere else it is 17,800..

Anusiemgood:

Chat u privately for what?? Which personnel? Personnel in what??
Moderators pls block this person from here

Yemponpin:
Please, on my passport and other credentials my Surname, Firsts name and Middle name appears there.

But since I want to be using just my Surname and first name henceforth, I only entered just the two when submitting my application and as expected the two names are the only names that appeared on my admission offer letter. Is this okay or I should be worried especially when applying for a visa? Or is there anything I have to do?
Note: none of the names changed, I just did not include the middle name.

pls just leave ur middle name there for correspondence sake. In the UK, 9 out of 10 times your middle name will not be brought up...

teeadewale:
I've my enrollment number with me
What do I need to do please?

dnt pay any money to anyone. Just return on the day written on ur slip and check if it is there, if anyone says anythin about paying money, run away from such a person and meet another individual
