Doesn't hurt to try. Someone on here captured in January and got their passport in days.

Preator:
Good Evening, Planning on doing partial DIY for myself and family I intend to register and pay online, then go close to the capturing date and see if i can get an officer that can make the capturing and production easier. Does anyone know the current available dates for the centres below:

1. Alausa
2. Sagamu
3. Ibadan.

I am thinking of Sagamu though my travel time to Alausa and Sagamu are similar.

Can someone also list the documents required especially for a minor. Will keep reading the other threads and hope i spot some insights to my questions.

You're welcome. Mine was renewal, I didn't use the guarantor's form, but yes you need to include it with other documents for fresh application. At the time I did fresh, I went through an agent who did all the heavy lifting. So I'm not in the right position to advise on that

abbeywasc:
How much did the agent charge and which location?

My Personal Experience as a DIY Applicant at Ibadan Nigeria Immigration Office, Bus Stop, Agodi Gate:-

On Sunday, I collected the Guarantor's Form and Passport, from my guarantor which has been filled, signed and thump printed.
On Monday my capturing date, I went to High Court at Ring Road (8:07am), paid #1,100 and got the Guarantor's Form signed and stamp by Commissioner of Oats and left(8:30am).
From there, I went to my office to sign in, print online payment receipt and application form, do 3photocopies each of all my documents, and went to NIS office (11:30am).
At the gate, I told them I came for fresh online capturing and was asked to go to Front Office.
At the Front Office, I was given Application Verification Form to do 1 photocopy and that I should come with white file, and 1 plain A4 paper.
I went out to do the photocopy and collected plain A4 paper @#100, and bought white file @#100.
I went back inside and the woman at the Front Office asked me to follow a sample of the Application Letter for fresh application and collected the following and arranged it as listed below:-
2 Passport Photograph
1 Written Application Letter
These were stapled in front of the brown file given at the office which is being used for online (DIY) application.
Inside the brown file:-
1 Filled Application Verification Form (given by them)
1 Appointment Slip Print Out
1 Marriage Certificate Photocopy
1 Certificate of Origin Photocopy
1 Birth Certificate Photocopy
1 Guarantor's Form completely signed and stamped (both pages) Original Copy
1 Guarantor's International Passport Data Page Photocopy
1 Guarantor's NIN Slip Photocopy
3 International Passport Payment Receipt Photocopies
3 Standard Passport Application Form Photocopies
And she kept the file with others while she asked me to go and sit under the shed.
Those who didn't DIY were being attended to and we DIY were just sitting, doing nothing till around 4:30pm, when our file was brought out and we were called to collect our files and take to Account Office.
At the Account Office, we were told to come back next day because they are already closing but we were later attended to when some people who aren't DIY came, so they didn't have choice than to do it together.
From Account Office, we were asked to go to Verification Office where Interview will be done but the Officer in charge has already gone home, so our file was kept there and we were asked to come back any day we are chanced. Left there around 5pm.

On Tuesday, I went straight to the Verification Office for Interview (11:38am) and the man attended to me immediately after being told how we waited for him on Monday.
He asked of my name, where do I work, and sited Original of my Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Local Government Certificate, asked about the relationship between me and my guarantor, signed and stamped my file, kept it with other files and asked me to go back to the shed.
We DIY were left unattended to under the mosquitoes infected shed until 3:13pm when they were done with others and they came with our files, to call us for capturing at the Enrolment Office.
It reached my turn at 15:49pm and I was told NIN Verification Failed, and since there was no network from NIN site, we should go home and come back next day.

On Wednesday, I had to go early since I've noticed they normally have NIN network problem in the afternoon.
I got there 8:50am, and went straight to the Production Office where they normally correct NIN verification issue. I was asked to search for my file and dropped it in front of the officer in charge and went back to the shed.
Under the shed, an Officer was briefing us about the procedure and I noticed they were collecting names of those that came with children, pregnant women and elderly 60+, so they will be attended to first, while they were having their parade on the field.
I tracked my application online and noticed that it has changed from NIN "Verification Failed" to "pending for NIN verification"
NB:- As at the time I registered online, October 30, 2022, it was at the point of (NIN Verification has failed, please proceed to the passport office for correction). When I noticed this, I quickly went to NIN office to do my change of surname but the tracker was still on NIN Verification Failed till the 3rd day of capturing January 9, 2022.

Immediately I noticed the change at 10:06am, I went back to the Production Office to ask the Officer in charge of NIN Correction and he told me my file is already at the Enrolment Office for Capturing that I should go and wait under the shed till they will call me.

As usual, they were busy calling their own and left we DIY.
When it was 11:12am, I was already having malaria symptoms and also needed to resume at work so I went to the Production Office to see who I can speak with and luckily for me, one top Officer asked what happened, that he has been seeing my face since and why was I looking sick? I explained everything in details to him sobberly, and he commanded some officers to search for my file and asked me to sit and wait for capturing.
I got captured by 2:14pm and was given a paper having the capturing date, my name and code to photocopy and the original was collected and kept in my file.
We were not given collection date, though someone that asked was told to come back in 2months.
I met other DIY and advised them to go and beg the same man, but they came back saying he asked them to go and keep waiting that they all will be attended to which usually is after attending to all that didn't DIY.

The tracker has already marked Production-Passport production is in progress.
And waiting Passport Issued-Passport pending production.

Glory be to God

I did my capturing today at Abeokuta passport centre. I got there early around 6:30am because I started all the documentations today.

They captured me 8:30pm. The officers really tried.

From my enquiry , one of the officers told me that they are almost through with November and that the printing of the December capturing might probably finished by January ending or by the first week of February.

Strictly DIY .

Hello house,

I have applied for the passport, but before then, i checked on NIMC app and found out my kids NIN dont have a phone number attached to it even though i gave my husband's number the day we did it.

I hope to update it before capture date.

Do i need to take them to NIN office to update their NIN?

I tracked it and saw this in all my kids own, mine is showing pending NIN

Micholo5:
House please help.

Does the "of" refer to my hometown or what?

Doyou2019:
You don't need his NIN. A photocopy of his passport will do just fine.
