I was at Ikoyi yesterday for renewal of passport. The agent I wanted to use was telling me that the capturing date will be around May 17 if apply. She charged me 45K. I now asked him that after capturing when will I collect my passport. he said that if I need it urgent I will drop 10k so that I will collect it same day or within the week. I asked her if i didn't pay the 10k when will it come out he said that it will be within 6 weeks. I had already filled the form he gave me and about to pay. I wasn't comfortable with the response. The essence of paying 45k is to fasten it. I noticed that they don't have control of dates of capturing. It is computer generated. Why should I pay you such amount. I told her that the date is too far. She suggested Festac that they have a closer date of April.

I have decided to DIY.

I want to renew my passport. I'm filling the form now. Please which date is closer for capturing (Ikeja, Festac, Ikoyi).
At what stage do we submit documents? Is it the day of appointment for capturing or before.
Which of the 3 centers are friendly for DIY
thank you

try alausa or festac, it took two weeks to capture at festac

jibbyfresh:
essentially, your capture date is 4 weeks from payment and you collect booklet 2 weeks after capture

so what you mean is your capture date is 4 weeks from payment and you collect booklet 2 weeks after capture ?? right?

Solatium:



Anything outside of Lagos,Abuja and Enugu will take you over 3onths to get that passport.
the truth is no one can speed up anything,the minimum time frame is 6 weeks, 4 weeks wait from the day of payment and 2 weeks waiting period before collection,it has been program, don't waste your time in going elsewhere.
Stay put for Lagos or Abuja or Enugu and get your passport in that 6 weeks

Pls has anyone applied to festac and got 2 weeks capture date ??

Alexjohn2020:

Please when did you apply? I want to know if it is recent before I choose there, as I need a date in April for my brother.

I still need response on this. Anyone please?

Hello everyone.
Did anyone capture at Ikoyi passport office around 8th of February and has gotten his/her passport?

They didn't give me collection date and they kept on saying there's no booklet for 32 pages. I really need the passport urgently.

oyephunmzee1:

That passport should be ready by now.
Go there and check.
Go with the photocopy of the online form showing your application number/reference code

Thanks. I appreciate.

This info is encouraging and I think you may be right. Because, I paid on the 28th of February got a capture date of 12th April, but was able to reschedule to 31st March (which is exactly 4 weeks from the date of payment like you said)

Hopefully when I capture my passport will be out 2 weeks from then. Keeping my fingers crossed while I pray it all goes well.

This is not encouraging because I paid for 32 pages too at Ikoyi and I am yet to capture.

You need to go back and check, 8th February to date is more than 6 weeks nau. Please kindly update me on whether you got it or they are still singing the same song.

Na wao this your story just weak me, because like you I kind of need my passport urgently too. I for just close eye pay for 64 pages 10 years that time. No point fooling myself I needed money for other things jare

So my capturing was last month 10th, on my slip collection date was 11th of march.

I haven't had the chance to go collect. Tried checking yesterday online for status and what i kept getting was application not found.

Is that not strange

No, it is not strange because there can be technical glitches with computerized systems.

What is strange to me is the fact that it has been more than a month since you were informed of your collection date and you haven't gone back there to check if your passport is out so you can collect it, you are still checking online.

I plan on doing that tomorrow...

Thank you.

Update

I just paid 26k now for renewal. I got appointment on 21st April 2022 Festac.

When will I submit the requested documents?

Is it on the day of capturing or before the date

Please o my people, is there anything like production fee usually collected at the passport office.

I went for capturing today at the passport office NIS gwagwalada. First of all, on reaching there I was told an immigration officer has to signify on my form, before it can be attended to.
Secondly, I was ask to pay a compulsory sum of 3,000 (three thousand naira) for production fee, plus an extra cost for assistance.

Please, can someone tell me if that is how things are usually done at the passport center or I have just been estorted?

Thank you.

These immigration guys in Benin are criminals. I told her I needed it urgently in a month the woman said I should bring 80k. Lmao. Omo this country don die. After them go say na only buhari be the problem. We are all criminals in our different areas of life

You might pay 80k and it still won't come out. Many of these immigration links them dey lie well well

How were you able to do DIY in Gwagwalada without paying those corrupt officers

They squeezed me into paying them.. All the officers are corrupt. Those officers in Gwagwalada virtually made it impossible for someone to DIY. It seems Alausa in Lagos is the best for DIY.

I captured there last week and nobody asked me for anything till I left

Really, please how did you do it, can you share with me how you were able to do that.

Plus, do you have direct link you used?

No link. Just applied online and went there on the day of capturing. They did their documentation and I captured

I already did mine though, is just that I wanted to have a clear understanding of how things are been done over there.
