same here since January 27

If you don't get a message from now till middle of this month that your passport is ready for pick up,go with your collection slip, normally it should be out within 36 working days, excluding weekends,for DIY applicants; speaking from experience,and that of my friends.

Honlucas:

I have been having issues with uploading my passport photograph. Each time it keeps saying:

ICAO Compliance Issue(s)
Image needs to be taken under proper light.

Even after adjusting brightness and all.

Please who can assist me with this?

Jheypeel:
If you must,go to a qualified photographer and specifically ask for a passport photograph or if you don't mind
You can send the picture you wish to use to me,I have the paid version of one passport app. It will recreate the background and you will get approved in secs

Hello everyone please I want to know if it possible to get a renewal passport from Nigeria in absentia and send to me in my location because there is no Nigeria embassy or passport center where I am and I need it to process residence.

Not possible. Your biometrics (picture and fingerprint) need to be captured. And you need to show up in person at some embassy or an office in Nigeria for that to happen. So sad that Nigeria is still so behind the curve in this day and age.

Cost varies if you're an adult or senior citizen. Go on the immigration website to apply or read back on this thread to get more info. In Abuja, you can get your passport between 3 weeks to a month. The process is seamless now. Cheers!

Congratulations 🎉.

I will kindly suggest you use the West Africa or East first, before proceeding forward to other countries, mostly now that the country passport is been seen as nothing,and the holder a scammer.

Having multiple stamps of Ghana, Cotonu and Togo you can add Ivory coast to it,then proceed forward to Singapore, depending on your financial capacity,will go a long way.

East Africa,Rwanda is visa free. Kenya,just get your ETA,and you are good to go.

Sort of. You only need an E-visa to go to Singapore.

So having other stamps will make it easier to get.

Ontarioo:
Lol, congrats 🎉. Try Chad

I had advised you to locate the closest immigration centre or passport office ,outside you would certainly find those photographer or business centre ,they got first hand knowledge of things like this,I did mine some weeks ago here in Alausa centre Ikeja for 2k, but they only send you the soft copy so you do the upload right there .

Pls how much is New 10yrs int'l passport, I want to do it by myself in the immigration

Mystery007:
The current price for a 64 pages 10 years validity passport is 100k.
it takes approximately 4-6 weeks for it to be ready, 2 months max.

Apart from the 100k, is there any additional Money that's added for doing a New int'l passport? Some are quoting 130k
