Where did you get the information that everyone below 50 years should have a birth certificate as a mandatory requirement?

Officially it is only mandatory for applicants whose DOB is with effect from December 1992!

Read slowly and understand.

What you wrote there is wrong! Officially, Birth Certificate is only mandatory for applicants whose DOB is with effect from December 1992!

Hi everyone. I plan on getting an international passport soon and I have all the required documents. The only issue is I don't have the original copy of my L.G.A. ID as I unfortunately left it back in my apartment at university before coming home due to the ASUU strike. I do have a high quality coloured soft copy of it on my phone, would I able to print this out and use it or does it have to be the original copy?

adubam:


You're good to go with a printed copy.

QUICK UPDATE: I finally did my capturing (biometrics) after all the back and forth

Registered last week, submitted yesterday after all their shenanigans. DIY is not easy but it’s definitely worth it!

Collection date is showing 16th May , which is five days from today. How feasible is that

Anyways I’m on my way back to my city. ain’t coming here for at least another four weeks unless I get a call

P.S I stood my ground and didn’t pay shishi to any officer or admin fee. 100% DIY

made some new friends too

Please i want to do passport renewal. I have applied online but i don't know if i should pay or what is the way forward. Do you think it will be faster if I go to the office.

And again my nin is showing no data found.

Deeedeee:



I had same question as u some months ago. The answer given to me was that I should use Mrs since I am married but some ppu said with Mrs or miss we can choose either cos the title won't show on the passports, lols. The important thing is ur name and if u have a child already make sure ur maiden name is the one written on his/her birth certificate.

Seek counsel at the Servicom unit.

Secondly, get an affidavit handy. For your passport application & more, you'll need to constantly prove your relationship with your husband & children.

All the best.

Hi I am also capturing at the Sagamu office sometime next month... I went there yesterday to capture but because I have the case of missing passport I was told it has to be sent to Abuja for approval so I couldn't capture yesterday. Abeg how did you run your own to be able to capture today because I also noticed that they we're telling people that the capture date online does not matter blah blah that they have to reschedule them. I just dey look sey mi o ti raye tiyin let my approval land first we go dey drag that one.

sociadoc:


As soon as you get approval, I advise you book an appointment online and insist on capturing at your due date
Stand your ground. Them sef go tire

Don’t forget to use the helpline. It works. Don’t believe anything they tell you, always call to confirm from the help desk, that’s what I did. They will answer you sharp sharp

were you asked to pay 6k admin fee? I noticed almost everyone submitting their files did

I didn’t!

I captured on the 3rd of march at Festac office, since then I haven't gotten my passport, I even called an immigration lady that assisted me this morning and she told me that they are still stuck with those that captured in January, I did a renewal and was given an option to pay normal 45k or 55k to fast track. I chose the 45k route and this morning she's reminding me that I should have paid for the 55k that now there is no booklet .... I really don't get how I'm buying a booklet for 10k

opezi:
No I wasn't told to pay 6k admin fee but I was told to pay 10k to send to abuja for approval. Now Im doubting that one too sef. Abeg what is the helpline?I want to go there prepared.

Let me explain to you since you've failed to comprehend. There are people of 50 years that have birth certificates. So why would someone less than that shouldn't have? Except for obvious reasons. Mind you I only
codedly pointed to the fact that it's only DIY applicants that they would frustrate with that requests. People still use declaration of age done today for passport application but might be frustrated with DIY.

Good morning everyone, I need opinion to some issue as regarding my wife passport.
1. When she went for capturing @NIS Abeokuta on January 28, she wasn’t given enrollment slip, is this normal? she was only told her passport will be ready by April 4 orally. It’s DIY
2. She was single when will apply for the fresh passport , now we are married. can she still use it to apply for UK visa and still use me as a dependent without changing the status of the yet to be collected passport to married ?
3. Is it possible that her passport might be ready within contacting her?

Please, help me she is blaming me for believing in Nigeria Cos I scope my wife to use DIY, now na every day I de apologize.
House members help!!!

sociadoc:


Always use the helpline

Oggg:
UK govt has nowhere in their law to state that you must chnage name to married to signify marriage. Ur marriage certificate is enough proof of that.
Why didnt u get enrollment slip? It is the most important thing to show you captured.. pls socialdoc posted helpline.. go and call them and see if they can help you becaus January is a long time to have captured without getting passport in hand..

Alexanderuche:
