I captured last September(09/09) at Uyo office and my passport is not produced yet as at April I went to their office. Please what is the way forward? Must I pay for my passport to be printed after this long wait? Its disheartening.

Wow! It's really disheartening.

Pls ,what is the solution to my capturing sep 17
While my returning ticket is August 5.

Although my current passport will expire next year August..

Why are you trying to renew when you have over 6 months validity on the passport?

Please do you have the contact number of the person you used for fast tracking at Alausa?

Yampotatocarrot:
My experience at Alausa office (I did DIY plus fast track, total amount spent was less than 40k)

I want to start by saying the Alausa office are very effective in carrying out their duties. I really appreciate them for that. Let me add that their approach to those doing DIY is quite commendable. They relate with you with a mixture of both disdain and fear/respect. I noticed they treated me with "special respect" due to the DIY. Noticed it with others that did same.

My advice: Do the first payment online, then do fast track after biometrics

After making your payment online, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO GO TO THE OFFICE BEFORE YOUR CAPTURING DATE TO OPEN A FILE (This is an information most DIY don't know). If this is done, it makes it easier for you on the day you finally go for capturing.

But just incase you can't/didn't go (like me), you can get it done on that capturing date. I'll suggest you budget 2k and those photocopy shops will help you get it done. Please, go with passport photograph o, except you have excess money to spend

After this point is where my fast track started. You'll be given a brown envelope at the shop (request for it, it you want to do fast track). Take the envelope and move in, submit it to the person helping you with fast tracking, and you'll join the queue for capturing.

After that, you should collect it in less than one week if your fast track is sure. Got mine in less than four days, although I went to pick it up today (already had my new passport number before today)

SUMMARY: Note that this is for Alausa office oooo
- On the day of your capturing, go in the afternoon, around 2/3pm. By then, the crowd would have subsided (Don't mind the time on your slip)

- Get someone to fast track for you before capturing

- When you go to prepare your file at the photocopy shops, go for the brown file... DIY is pink file (I think that's to differentiate us), but since you already plan to fast track, don't use that file

- You'll pay #3000 for one stamp like this sha inside the office

- After capturing, don't misplace your slip. You'll need it for your passport collection

- When you go to collect your passport, go around 9am. Ensure you go with the old passport else you'll be sent back

- No "Gara" for there o, else they'll ask you to go to hell. I saw instances like that where people thought they could bully the officials maybe because of who they think they know, and the official asked them to do their worse.

I noticed the officials there know their rights and don't stand for any intimidation especially when on their right

- If you're going with kids, they give you priority, and they treat the kids very well.

Downside: The dustbin in the compound is full and overflowing, hence the wait area stinks.

please can anyone who applied for a fresh passport in the Port Harcourt office give a detailed guideline please

Thanks so much

hello bro?

I finally captured on Friday with my kids, DIY is not for the fainthearted, but mine was not so stressful, Enugu is diy friendly.
If you are diy, pls gatter your documents,for renewal, application form filled online, payment receipt, appointment form,two passport, application letter. If you are married and you do not want to change name now but want to include married,get ur marriage certificate or go to court and get affidavit of marriage and attach. Photocopy of your I'd card, national id,and data page of your international passport. Still talking about those during renewal.
For fresh, aside all these, include your guarantor form,pls go to immigration,go to cybercafe there and ask them to give you application form printout( not must you go to them)
With all these listed,ask anyone who you can meet or the office to go to for a beginner,you can ask from the gate,if they want to know y DIY,tell them straight that you don't have money to make any extra pay,it is cheaper online period.
Arrange your file,go to the office I said above, quietly ask them what to do next,you need to verify,stamp. Ask questions plssssss.
There are processes before your file will be ready for capturing.
For babies,you don't need guarantor form,you need consent letter of both parents.
One passport photo of each parent and their I'd.
Was not easy for me, though I had a brother in there that helped me arrange my files,was still stressful because I don't have this information I just gave. They bodly wrote self payment on my file. Loll.
I was told to come in 6 weeks for collection.

I missed the appointment date because a certain office tried to frustrate themselves and not me.
I stood up to them.
If you are an immigration officer here,shame, it is like after paying school fees, I will still give lecturer money to teach me.
You are payed by the government for the same work you are taking money from people for.
Shame

Thanks for sharing. Very encouraging for newbies like me.

Please can you share a list of documents that are required for enrollment? This will be helpful, thanks

Hello everyone here!
My experience at the NIS Passport office. This is to help those who plan to get theirs as those who shared theirs helped me too.

Location: Alausa
Passport reissue, #TeamDIY
I went for capturing today, 01/07.
I placed the booking on 01/05.

Time: 9:00 am

I planned getting there earlier but the rain didn't help matters. I got there exactly 9am and they were calling names already and people were collecting files and going inside. I met the servicom desk to direct me to the appropriate desk. They pointed at the desk opposite their cubicle: The internet registration desk.
I went there and asked an officer about the process, she asked me to get a file outside and put my documents inside. I was directed to the VIO car park adjacent the NIS compound. Under a small canopy in the car park, there's a business centre. I bought the file (#500), a 3-page form I saw people filling (#300), they typed and printed my application letter (#300) and a tiny rope to hold perforated papers (#100). The lady there seemed to know the process very well, she helped me arrange the documents and told me the documents I brought that were not needed like the birth certificate and state of origin since it was a reissue (God bless her).
I took the folder back to the Internet registration desk and they checked the documents, wrote some things, asked me to write a few things. They pointed at a door behind a glass and asked me to take my file there. I took it there and met another officer who checked some things in my original passport and the photocopies I brought and handed everything back to me. I took it again to the Internet Registration Desk and they told me that there are 2 other steps that will need to take place before I can get the file back to go for capturing. She asked me to exercise patience and come back in 2 hours. Lol. She said because of the crowd present.
I went back to the business centre and they asked me to wait at the NIS office, so that my file won't be misplaced. (Again, God bless her and her colleague). I went back and in 30 minutes, my name was called to collect my file and go for capturing. I collected my file and sat inside. The qeue was moving despite the number of people inside. It may have been an hour of waiting before I finally got to the capturing room. I was captured, got my enrollment form and en route home!
Left around 1.

Looking forward to the best. The date of collection written on the enrollment form says 01/08. Let's see if it is. Selah.

Good day everyone.

Hello everyone.
Pls I’m about to apply for passport renewal (precisely at Festac). The DIY procedure is not so clear to me so I plan on doing it the conventional way.

I’d really appreciate if anyone can tell me the requirements for renewal and cost range. Thanks in advance ��

Please can someone just go ahead for a fresh passport although he has been captured before with a different name?

Freda23:
Just checked my son’s status what does this mean

How long did it take after capturing for you to see this status? When did ur son capture?
