Correction of data (change of name, correction of name, and change of DOB) can only be done in Abuja. I know this because my wife recently changed her name on her international passport.

Whether the process can be done in other states, I don’t know, but I’m sure they will still have to forward the application to Abuja for approval.

Good day! Everyone.

I was told at Immigration office, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State that I have to pay N45,000 to process my international passport acquisition. Considering the lower prices of N17,000 to N26,000 I've seen so far in this thread, is that price genuine? Your response would be helpful. Thank you.

Take your printout to Alausa to begin the process. The interview date is not relevant.

klem93:



Same Abeokuta that I went for renewal and captured since July 1st and they are telling me to come back August ending? Renewal fah

Firstorderwizard:


If you are born before Dec 1992, you can use age declaration. Anything other than that you need birth certificate.

Ibenny:


Please, is this the same for every state?

I did my application on 10th of August and just like the guy, I have not received any interview date. BTW, I am not in Lagos

meedx:


I can only speak for Alausa in Lagos where I obtained my passport.

However, the interview date does not matter, what matters is if the passport office is DIY friendly. I Will advise you to go to the passport office.

*Stage 4*: Take the guarantor's form to court for stamp(they will collect 500 naira or 1k)

*Step 5*: Go to your selected centre for capturing
I used Ikoyi, Lagos State, so I will be using Ikoyi as an example.

*Doc to take to Ikoyi, passport office*

1. Application form

2. Acknowledgement form

3. Payment Receipt

4. Filled and stamp guarantors form with international passport DATA page and NIN slip or Drivers licence

5. 2 passport photograph (your own)

*You can also go with original of 6,7 and 8*

*Step 6*: When you enter Ikoyi passport office, by the right hand you will see a "Servicecom" sign, speak with any of the staff sitting inside the cubicle.

He/she will collect all your document vet it and return it with another documents and ask you to photo it and fill (make sure you photocopy it before filling)

After filling retire it to the "ServiceCom" person . He or she will open a file for you and write places you have to go for signing and stamping.

After stamping in one place, ask the person "where is next" politely and follow through the process.

When you're done with capturing, before stepping out of the capturing hall, a man will collect your file and register it.

After that, take your file back to the "ServiceCom" personnel and your DONE.

Ikoyi Office was used as a case study, if you’re within Lagos state Alausa Passport Office is highly recommended

monsor007:

E-passport is d same you see normal pple carrying in their wen dey wan travel abroad.Diy is better if u go to Alausa there service is fast and reliable

dalass:


Money talks. If you're seated there, you will notice those who'll come in newly and still get theirs done.

If you paid through one of them, hold that person well. If not, they'll frustrate you for paying the normal price and they'll even say passport no dey. Corruption is in that place abeg
