When did you do the change of data? If it was before your biometrics, then it should be resolved by now. If not, head to the Servicom office and lodge your complaint.

Good day everyone, please I did correction of name on my expired passport. I was asked to upload my passport data page, letter stating reason for change and also court affidavit which I have done, and completed registration.

Now I am waiting for the status to change from "awaiting approval" to "vetted". Please how long would this take?

Note: I didn't do change of name, I did correction, just one letter was missing from my middle name

Hey guys
I did my capturing on the 10th of September, collected date was 9/12/2025. Can I go on the 10th of this month to check if it's ready??

Hello everyone, has anyone experienced payment not dropping issue at the point of capturing? I couldn’t capture today, I was told payment hasn’t dropped. I paid in November and got the payment successful email.

Which bank do you choose cause I paid for my yesterday night, immediately it drop, try check in with the bank you choose by using the transaction id

Good morning sir/ma, I’ll love to share my own passport process experience incase for anyone that need it DIY is the best in order to avoid been extort by those officers.
I started the 64 pages online application (October) and I made the payment on 26th, October too. I book my biometrics appointment on the 4th, November. Although prior to this time my application form hasn’t changed to vetted but still showing awaiting approval till that very day of biometrics. After I saw some explanation on here that I can go and it’ll be vetted at their office immediately.
On that faithful day, I left home early to Oke Mosan Passport Office. On getting there I ask for the servicom desk, I met a young officer there he collected my documents and checked it. He immediately ask who’s doing it for me but I said I did it myself. He smiled and directed me to the main servicom office where I met another officer. He collected my form, appointment paper and receipt too. He scanned it with his phone and only asked where am I from? And nothing else. He told me I’ll have to pay for administrative fee of 5k I just smile at him and asked him some questions in respect too. I asked where’s it written on the site? I told him I’ll put a call to my uncle who’s an immigration officer. I told him I can’t pay any money sir. He look at my face and ask what am I saying I respond I can’t pay any money.
After a while he stamp my file and staple it together, he asked me to go and sit upstair. While I was waiting for miracle, DIY. The man keep calling numbers and I think mine was 89 so I was thinking till evening not knowing that they’re already calling number 45. I sat down looking as people are moving in with there officer. I bought table water and gala to chill my body. After a while the officer calling names called my number and said my money hasn’t dropped but I didn’t panic sha. He said maybe the service. He went inside again after some minutes came outside and said I can go in for my biometrics. I walked in like a freedom fighter and did everything within the space of 10mins. The officer that did the capturing for me jokingly asked me for anything i smiled and gave her 1k because she was friendly and jovial to me during the process. Same as another man that asked me to buy malt for him but I told him I’m not working yet immediately he pray for me and said I can go but I gave him 500, he smiled. He told me to keep checking my Gmail that I’ll get a notification when my passport is ready for pick. It’s over 5 weeks yesterday now since I did the capturing nothing yet and I keep tracking it online and checking my email too. Although I paid for home delivery too. The collection date on the paper was painted black with a marker so I was told not to follow that. Please can I go back to Oke Mosan Passport Office to check whether it’s ready or I keep wait till I get notification…is there anyone that know how fast is issuing passport in Oke Mosan Passport Office.
Do it your own is Gbam

To everyone who contributed to this thread, I say thank you!
I got my passport around August.

Hello ,
I must commend the good guidance job being done here to help people with this DIY method of passport application especially by some notable names I see here.
please for want of time I am pleading for guidance on how I can Apply Online to RENEW my passport and kids as well. I wish to know what the Fees are for Renewal. payment mode and any documents I will be required to upload and also present at their office. I want to have an idea of how long it takes from application online to go in for data capture etc. Also what period to expiry date on existing passport is advisable for one to put in this renewal application. eg passport is expiring like MAY 2026 .(when should one apply for renewal)

Please I will appreciate if someone can just respond to this and not refer me back to old posts . I will appreciate . Thank you.

I did my enrollment on the 9th of December.
when am I expecting to collect my new passport?

I was giving a piece of paper with my name,date of enrollment,and a 7 digit number on it.
What does the number mean ?

Just go there and say you came for collection. You can then go to the office where you paid for delivery.

Usually passports are ready under ,4 weeks.

The number is probably for your passport office records to check . Keep the paper.

Wait for like 4weeks max, but since it's Holiday time check this week might be ready.
Just go there and say you're there for collection .

So your application wasn't vetted?
