Thank you so much ogggg

That's my challenge, make them no use me chop as I am gonna do it online...

You cannot even apply for a new passport until June 1st 2021. They are clearing backlogs. And honestly, I do not know how it is going to be after that date or else I would advise you not to DIY

I just got a text from ICT festac that my passport is available for pick up at their office.

I captured in March and yeah it's DIY

I want to ask a question please I will be very glad if the gurus put me through.
For those who DIY for a name change.
How many days or weeks does it takes to receive an approval message after completing the form and pay the administrative fee online? And is it after approval will I submit my other documents before the changes could be effective?
You response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Please, I suggest anyone on the waiting list should make out time to visit the passport offices and check the status of their booklets.

The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mr Muhammad Babandede, says the service has increased its production capacity to beat the May 31 deadline set to clear backlog of passport applications.

Babandede announced this while briefing newsmen on the NIS passport reforms and recruitment exercise on Thursday in Abuja.

He said that the passport production centres across the country were working round the clock to clear the backlogs before the commencement of the new passport regime on June 1.

NIS boss also gave assurance that the service had enough booklet, adding that a total of 23,903 passports were currently awaiting collection by the applicants.

According to him, more than 35,000 passports had been produced in the last few days, with about 22,840 collected, 23,903 not collected and 28 damaged.

He, however, urged all applicants to be on alert as text messages were being sent to their registered phone numbers, adding that those that had turned off their Do not Disturb button on their phones to reactivate.

Babandede assured applicants that the more than 100,000 pending applications would be attended to before the deadline of May 31.

“The major challenge we have now is not booklet but production capacity and we have added two production lines to Ikoyi and Ibadan centres,” he said.

He also said that all passport collection centres would be opened from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily for applicants.

He warned that the any officer involved in passports racketeering would be dealt with going forward, adding that the erring officers were partly responsible for the uncollected passports.

What are you saying? We're talking about passport status and not enrolment number

Tatianaa4u:


No. I wasn't allowed into the premises. I told them I got a call to come pick my passport but the officer at the gate said it is only people that received text message that can gain entrance into the premises at alausa.

Good evening. I was there this afternoon. I wasn't allowed into the premises too but the officer I met at the gate took my slip inside to help me confirm if my passport was ready for collection. Unfortunately, there are no 32 pages booklet, so my file is still at production.

Abuja why na
