Hi house, I lost my passport and I don't know how much it will cost to replace it and also how long it will take for me to get it . My location is ibadan.
If you have a copy of your data page,it will be an easy process, because you will be needing that data page to report to the police,to get your police report,then head to the customary court to get your Affidavit.

Once done,gather your other documents like; NIN,birth certificate,local government of Origin,and apply on the website,after that you head over for capturing.

How long you will take to get it depends on the production of the NIS. Good luck!

ekitimanalways:
You are older than 18 years. Therefore, the National Population Commission will not issue you a birth certificate. Instead of a birth certificate, you will be given an attestation of birth. Note that this attestation of birth letter is completely equal to a birth certificate and carries the same legal weight both in Nigeria and when using it overseas. To get this attestation of birth letter from the NPC, you must first process and present a court affidavit attesting to your date of birth and other personal details, and the affidavit must have a declarant who will be either your father or an older male relative (brother or uncle).

REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCESSING A BIRTH ATTESTATION LETTER
Age declaration affidavit (from High Court). This affidavit must contain the details of both your place of birth and date of birth, the details of your parents and their place of origin, and your home address. Your passport photograph must be attached to the affidavit and the age declaration must also be duly stamped or endorsed by the Commissioner for Oaths.

National Identification Number (NIN).

2 recent passport photographs.

Non-refundable application fee (₦3,000).

Visit the National Population Commission located in the local government secretariat of the State where you reside. When you get to the NPC office, you will be given a form to fill in for your attestation of birth letter.

Thankfully, the National Population Commission (NPC) offers a convenient online portal to complete the process. Visit the NPC website (https://nationalpopulation.gov.ng/) (https://attestation.nationalpopulation.gov.ng/welcome) and navigate to the “Services” section and choose “Birth Attestation.” Click agree below the page and proceed to enter your email address in the provided space and make the online payment of ₦3,000 using the provided secure payment gateway. You’ll receive a confirmation and reference number via email.

Once payment is confirmed, proceed to fill out the online registration form. This includes applicant details, parent/guardian information, hospital/clinic details, and document uploads as mentioned previously.

Carefully review every information and upload for accuracy. Submit the application after confirmation.


Use the reference number to track your application status. Upon completion, you’ll be notified and can download your official birth attestation from your NPC account.

Please ensure a stable internet connection throughout the process. Also, use high-quality scans of documents for clear upload. Alongside, please keep a copy of the reference number for future reference. If you encounter any difficulties, consider reaching out to the NPC through their contact information available on the website.
I finally applied for the passport yesterday 22nd August, and it's currently showing waiting for approval. I chose 1st of September for the capturing, I'm hoping the status changes before then..thank you Ekitiman

Original price is 105k naira. If the extra charges is worth the reason you want to go "express", then it's yours to decide.
Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Gentlerespect76: 5:47pm On Aug 25, 2025
Yeah, on Friday I went to the NIS HQ in my state of residence. Paid 62k for 32-page 5 year passport for my 16+ year old son and feeling cheated. Why ask citizens to pay via POS outside the premises of NIS in Yola? It will be far from now before this country gets better. We are all in a race to cheat people as if our lives depend on it. So sad.

Chai!
16y/o is a minor and should cost 25k naira🙆
You were supposed to have done your application via the online platform and only go for capturing. With that, you make all payment via the right channel and at the official amount.

Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Graced1: 3:09pm On Aug 26, 2025
Hello everyone! Please I want to ask some questions in respect to my passport application. I applied for the passport on Friday, chose 1st of September for capturing, but at the moment the status is still showing waiting for approval. I already read through the thread about similar cases and I understand I'll have to go there on the appointment date irrespective of the application status.

I am doing my service, and I travelled for the holiday. I chose the state where I am now as the processing center. The issue now is that the date for my monthly clearance is most likely to be 1st of September too, and that means I have to leave here by the exact end of the month in order to meet up.

The next time I'm likely to come back here is during the mid-term break; that should be around October or thereabout. What do I do please?

Hello all, do new applicants still need to submit a completed guarantor's form when applying?
Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by YoobaNesan:
No, just Date of Birth certificate and Proof of Indigine certificate.

I tried registering for a new passport application this afternoon and it's saying NIN is invalid - tried again right now and it's still same.

Has anyone else experienced it or it's from their website? Thanks

Note: NIN entered is correct and valid.

If the system says NIN is invalid, then there must be an issue. Better still try again in the midnight hour or before dawn to avoid traffic on the site....that could also be the issue.

Hi, I’ve also booked an appointment at the Alimosho office on Sep. 8, what were the documents you go with on your Biometrics day?

Did your Application status changed to ‘Approved’ before you proceed with biometrics?
What’s the overall experience at the centre?

Thanks.

aliadi2:
Good evening so I went for capturing today at alimosho office Lagos and I took along all the documents I uploaded and they asked for everything and am done with it very quick and easy . No bribe no extortion.... On the confirmation I saw that the collection date is 25/09/2025 that's more than 6 weeks can I go there when it is 6 weeks. Also the slip says alausa Lagos whereas it is alimosho that I did it also my guarantor name on the confirmation slip isn't who I entered.

Just wait a bit , go back by Friday next week.They are only trying to extort you of your money, they know your passport is available or about to be ready ,go back again and demand your passport, if you don't like to wait too long on that day,you can sort the officers 1k or 2k as your spirit leads ,ask him/her to help U get it out.
Give him/her the slip (little paper) U where given after biometric,there's a number written there for collection purpose .
I did mine few months ago at Alausa too .

Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by kenneyyice(m): 2:24am On Aug 30, 2025
Please how did you resolve this, i am currently facing same issue now

Impactever:
I am having some challenges with the filling of the online form on the Nigerian Immigration service website .

I am trying to re-new my passport , but the website keeps rejecting my photograph.

Reasons for rejection:

1. Face is tilted

I took the photograph at a photo lab that specializes in passport photograph for the Nigerian passport .

I have paid 2500 Naira 3 times at 3 different photo lab centres around my neighbourhood , But i am still having the same issue .

after visiting 3 different photo labs, and paying 2500 naira, keeps showing up error : "Face is tilted"

Due to this challenge, i am not able to complete and submit the online form.

I am considering visiting the closest Immigration office to take the photograph there at their office .


Pls i need any info that could be of help .

Thanks
Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Domainer1999:
This was the biggest issue I encountered Infact, I almost gave up here before it was later accepted.

This was how I did it, don’t use a saved picture in your photos/gallery.

Go out to a well light/bright area with white background and take a clear/crisp picture, screenshot it, resize it to fit, then submit it.

Better if you can get a very good camera phone like Iphone.

Hi, I doubt this has anything to do with picture quality or lighting issues. I've been dealing with same issue since thursday night as well. A picture that passed test compliance couldn't be uploaded. Was up for almost 2hours in the middle of the night hoping it will go through but kept getting same message - "picture upload processing couldn't be processed at this time"
