If you have a National ID card (Not NIN SLIP), you will be able to write your exam. When I reached out to BC and IDP some months back, that was the feedback I got. Just furious that they insist on an ID card when I can’t remember the last time I saw a national ID card. Apparently I learnt some people have gotten theirs. Still it doesn’t make sense to me that they don’t accept NIN slips that has a verifiable barcode.

Who has tried Abeokuta before?

For this there is a way out.
Just log into the nimc Portal,and put in your details to get your soft copy of the card. Take it to a business center and let them print it out .

You can pay online for the premium NIn slip which cost 1000 naira and then proceed to print it on a plastic card, it's acceptable.

Is this advisable? BC and MOD verifies this IDs before use. How will business centers print the card with the chip that comes with it?

Guys, what's happening at the Festac office?

Captured on the 24th of June, up till now, nothing.

Almost 3 months now and no show.

Please someone should advice me on what to do.... I did registration for passport online, this is my first time of applying for passport. I chose 64pages. I learnt from a friend that I should have chosen 32 pages. I have paid for the 64pages online yesterday. Can I still change it to 32 pages? Will those people consider me and give me the 64pages? What did you think I can do?

Good Afternoon
Pls which is advisable to do, register and make payment online or use someone?
And if one is doing DIY, how many weeks can one go for capturing? And how long will it take for the passport to be ready after capturing?
Biko I need responses
Thanks

You cannot change it to 32 pages since you already make the payment but the 64 pages is also okay

KangaIye:


Have you picked it up now

Yes. Since last week.

KangaIye:



The agent is an officer or not an officer, how much did you pay

An officer o.. 115k

It is better you leave it. 64pages is better because you will get it on time instead of the 32pages that they will tell you that there is no booklet. Good luck

You can use nin card to register for ielts. Go to nimc official website to download the app and follow the instructions. It's just 1k to download, then you print it from those that print plastic id card.

Are they taking your old passport without returning it or they return it and take photocopy of your bio data page ?

They will return it back to you after capturing

It all depends on your location, the time you have in your hand and your person. If you can spare some time, I will recommend the DIY. According to Immigration sources, It takes 6 weeks after capture for your passport to be ready (32 pages), 64 pages may be faster. In DIY, you must tick all dots in order to get your passport on on schedule. Remember you get your appointment date once you complete your online application on https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/. But if you do not have all the time, seek help.

aieromon:


Yes



6 months or less to expiry

Thank you. Please what if the passport is lost, but there's a possibility I may find it by traveling to a different state where it was last seen. Can I go on and apply for a new passport on the basis that the old one is lost. Is there any disadvantage in case I later find it next month and start using it while the new one is processing

Apply for lost/replacement. No, you cannot use it again as the information would be deleted from the system.

Okay
Thanks

Hello everyone. Can I stamp the guarantor's form in any court other than the high court?
Also, can I get the court stamp before filling the guarantor's info? Coz I'm still searching for someone to stand as my guarantor.

Am also in the same predicament
If this was possible, i would be the happiest man on earth now

KangaIye:

They will collect the NIN premium with bar code but you will need to print it on a plastic card

@ladysafe I dmed but didn't get a replied mail was hoping we could link up in benin city since your capturing date was Sept 5th,hope it went great?

Just few things we should note, if your capturing state is benin city just make sure you open a file weeks before your capturing date, possibly 3 weeks or more before your capturing date, the reason is files don't move the way we think as it needs to move from office to office.My capturing date was Sept 7th and my experience with nis benin city I will say was okay as the officers I met were friendly and always willing to assist if you need assistance.

Also make sure you go early regardless of your capturing time on your capture date,so you can get prep talk on what to do before name calling, and capturing take place.

Note: I didn't know I was supposed to open a file before my capturing date,was thinking I can open a file and capture same day like some states but it turned out different but still thanks to God I was able to open a file few days to my capturing date and was able to capture.Also remember to go with a nose mask it is mandatory in the capturing room except when asked to remove it for your picture to be taken,I went there 8am and was able to be part of the prep talk.
I hope this helps.

Ps: I did DIY.

It has been explained here before: the north is yet to migrate to the new advance e-passport type while the south has.

So, the old one costs less than the later. Apparently, the north too will still migrate and the country will fully be on one page. Someone even opined that holders of those old type might be required to upgrade their passports

There's no hidden agenda.

So today, I was able to connect with a custom boss at one of the NIS offices in Lagos and I was made known there’s no fast track of passport atm, that appointment dates comes directly from Abuja and there’s nothing anyone (NIS officer) can’t do to bring the date closer

So if any officers is asking you to pay for express you’re doing that on your own because your passport will only be available when it’s available.

Go strictly DIY.

Save yourself the stress and don’t allow those crocks collect your hard earned cash.

Pardon my grammatical errors, I no go school, I just dey use idea.

Wow. Thank you for the clarification

I just checked the status of my passport via the online tracking portal and discovered that it has reached this stage.

Please how long would it take before i get it??

Thanks

Good day all, please what do i need to collect my passport. I was issued a slip when i captured last month to come next week for collection, the passport has also been on production stage for weeks now. Apart from the slip what else do i need to present to the passport office for collection? Thanks all

travelinfo:


I'm sure they collected some money from you

.

Behizle:
Change of name/correction of data/renewal..


Capture Date: 18TH OF AUG
PRODUCTION DATE: 26TH OF AUG
COLLECTION DATE: 27TH OF AUG..

In this country, JUST HAVE MONEY.

Atleast I go rest now....

Please can you connect me with the person that helped you

My experience in Asaba office wasn’t bad at all. They did beg for money and I paid 2k at servicom. I paid another 1k to verify my NIN in a cafe there. During capturing, they said my NIN couldn’t be verified. I believe this was a lie. I paid another 1k and said NIN was automatically verified.

For Asaba, if you want, you don’t have to go a day before capturing to open file although I recommend doing so especially for first time applicants. The process is very fast there.

Like someone mentioned, there’s nothing like Fast track. Appointment dates is via the online application. Appointment date is currently in November but if you can capture, it takes a week for the passport to come out. I captured today and we were asked to come on Wednesday next week for collection.

When i tracked my application after my capturing, it is already in the last stage.

If you can wait to get appointment date, please choose Asaba. You’d get it 1week after capturing and the officers aren’t too bad. At worst , they’d beg you for money.
