Hello guys!! My capture date is June 7th(Next Tuesday) DIY Alausa. I read somewhere here about people going to the Immigration office to open file before the capture date. Please is that compulsory? I just paid online and have gathered all the required documents waiting for the capture date. I don’t have time from work to visit there before the capture date. Even to get my leave approved for that date of capture wasn’t easy.
Please someone reply.

tommz:


Yeah,I submitted all my documents before the day of capturing .

chibjohn:

Wow.
Thanks for the response.
What if I don’t have time before that day and wants to submit on the capturing day even if the process will take the whole day? Won’t that be possible?

Odunharry:

If its modifications you did just forget the app. Even if you delete and reinstall the app. The best bet is to verify at any nin centre?

Were you recaptured during modification?

favor2016:
NIMC App is not reliable. I did name modification in April ( to my husband's name), I even used it for my passport which is out already but on NIMC app, the name hasn't changed yet. Go to their office, you will see that the name has been changed already when they track it.

Hello guys, I just applied online and paid . I am trying to book an appointment, but the next available appointment date is august 15.
Is this a bug ? I don’t know what’s wrong

tommz:
It's not a bug, book the nearest available date. Visit the site often, to see if you'll get much earlier and reschedule

Idrismusty97:
Nope it's not, Mine was August 3rd. I refuse to book thinking it's a bug, by the time i came back even the August 3rd wasn't available again. I book the next available date.

Dracoe:

So I have to wait till August 15 before I can go to the office
Or can one go earlier than the appointment date ?

UPDATE: FOR MY PH PEOPLE
so um,I'm slightly disappointed in myself and this is the reason why..
04/05/2022
I did the DIY paid and everything, got my guarantor docs stamped in court and i was ready to submit same day,so i got to immigration office at gra junction again to submit,an official stopped me at the gate to check my docs(the hell?) No p,he allowed me in sighting no mistakes,got to the receptionist and he started talking about COMMITMENT fee again,this time 13k. Well,i wasn't going to pay that,so i waited and tried he just advised me to go to their mile 1 branch as no one would take my docs here.

05/05/2022
I got to their mile1 branch and i was told to buy a folder and have it arranged, there is a building next door for just that purpose and i paid 1k for that. I went back in but the man receiving DIY applicants was nowhere in sight,i waited more than 1hour for him,and when he finally came in,he asked me who helped me fill my online application and how much i paid. Omor i thought i was speaking to a reasonable person so i told him the truth, then he told me to pay 5k to submit, i said hell no. He told me to step aside,i told him i couldn't he should accept my docs and let me be on my way,dude started being aggressive,so i called him by his full name(as seen on his tag) and he should take my docs,dude got pissed,he thought i was video recording him because i was pressing my phone.

He was scared,he almost broke my phone mehn,it was an uproar in that office,i was pissed man. Dude left his post for a long time, i spoke with other officials if i could get a different person to submit to but they said no,and were just saying i should pay, the hell? 3hours later man,after waiting i was angry,hungry and i didn't think i could be patient anymore,so i called one of the official i previously spoke with that i was ready to pay, he went into their back office and the first officer magically came out i paid the 5k against my principles, they really don't care huh,this system is here to break good people. Now you understand why I'm disappointed? I could have held it a little while longer but i was beginning to sense i had enemies already,so.

If you in ph,man just tread carefully, this dudes don't really hide themselves. They will extort you with pride.

Marshab:
Good day all
Please am about to apply for my Passport should I use agent or DIY

UPDATE FOR THE PH PEOPLE:

Yo,so um if you in ph and you want to DIY or the other way,on the day of your capture you might want to take some food,enough water and probably some sleeping bag, don't bother rushing for this,the officials only keep to naija time(honestly you should have been there by 09:30am,thats when they get serious). I might be exaggerating,but you have to come prepared that they are mostly going to waste your time.

Ya,so i did my docs verification and capture on the stipulated date 03/06. Even if they have you write your name on the paper provided for attendance, don't rely on that,(probably for their benefits;could be used to sort your files if already submitted).

Hint:
1.Don't rule out the chances of them trying to extort you,oh they will try. So this is what i did,i memorised the name of my previous extorter and when asked if i had any handler,i said yes and provided his name.

2. If you submitted your docs already, you might want to come with every original you got.

3.come with your own entertainment, you might get really bored and they will ask you to put off your phone when called in.

Guess that's it,after my capture though i got given a paper that should have my date of collection but all i saw was 'Fresh' written on it,hmm guess its six weeks then.

Minna, Niger State
It is up to you, presently getting passport is geting difficult, a genuine Agent could be of help.
Which part of the country are you.

Zagee:
Thanks for the update, 23rd awaits me

kennylee:
Hi everyone
I was unable to capture on the 16th of March due to date of birth issue , The one on the NIMC portal is different from the one I used for passport application.
I was able to change my date of birth on the NIMC portal few weeks ago , Do I still need to reschedule my appointment or Should I just go for capturing

dannypaul:
Good day, team #DIY

I've filled the application form online, paid and booked appointment. However, on my birth certificate, I have 5 names on it. Although, the 3 names on my NIN are on the birth certificate.
Just want to confirm if it will be an issue, and if so, how can I can it rectified.
Thank you.
