Two weeks ago, I attempted to renew my international passport using the Nigeria Immigration Service's DIY (self-service) platform. Unfortunately, the system couldn't capture my passport photograph for some reason.

A few days later, I decided to visit the immigration office in Jos to complete the process in person. To my surprise, I was told that the 32-page, 5-year passport would cost ₦75,000, even though I was aware that the official fee online is ₦50,000.

Frustrated, I returned home. Fortunately, I later managed to successfully upload my passport photograph on the DIY platform, and the system processed my application. I paid ₦50,500 online and was scheduled for biometric capture on February 3rd.

On the scheduled date, I went to the immigration office, where I was attended to promptly. However, I was asked to pay an additional ₦3,000 for processing, which I did.

To my surprise, I received a call today, February 12th, to pick up my new passport—just 9 days after my capture!

I've heard many people say it took them months to get their renewed passports. So, I'm curious—how long did it take for you to get yours? Share your experience!

May we not be renewing empty passport every time o

Namaster:
That was FAST!

Tunji-Ojo seems to be the only one working in this DEMONIC administration.

Didn't know the orocess has become more EFFICIENT.

By the way, the 50% increase in price for in-person processing is PROOF that Nigerians would readily SABOTAGE viable systems because of their unquenchable GREED.

The average Nigerian is so WICKED and GREEDY that their constant complaints about wicked and greedy Politicians is LAUGHABLE.

The document is Nigerian Passport, not international passport. Other countries have theirs - Canadian passport, Russian passport, Angolan passport etc. There is no passport called international passport.
Maybe people add international to distinguish it from the little photograph usually attached to ID cards and other documents. But the little photograph is called "passport photo" (not just passport), while the travel document is "Nigerian passport" (not international passport).

How did you resolve the issue of uploading your passport photograph?because it seem that's the most difficult part in DIY processing.
