If I have to register it myself, how much will it cost.
You’ll see how much in NHIS portal. Questions like this do invite scammers a lot..

I won’t be surprised if some people already enter your DM like this! That’s how scammers operate..

The reason for this reform was to eliminate middlemen in the application of our International Passport. I'm shocked people are still using middlemen for passport applications and some getting scammed in the process. The online application is seamless and stress free
Nigeria like to put middlemen in everything. Even our banks have to allow POS agent just to collect your own money. I can't think of anything in this country that they don't introduce middle men to it. Sometimes, they deliberately make the system and process cumbersome so that you will take the services of middle men.

you are very correct, 100%.

system failure it is!
psalmsjob:
The main problem is that most Nigerians are educated-Illiterates such that they cannot read and comprehend simple instructions or guide. So they prefer to pay someone to do it for them as they did in school; buy handout from lecturers for grades, pay someone to do school assignments or group assignments, pay someone to write school test and exams for them, pay school admin staff to do clearnce for them then be physically present to have fellow Illiterates scribble rubbish on their white t-shirt post it on social media to bookmark the event and thereafter pay nysc li to mark them present while they collect allowance and then post pictures of nysc certificate to earn the title of graduate grin now fill bank teller is a problem, write aptitude test is wahala, apply for passport is headache in short anything they have to do themselves without a third party assistant is an impossible task for them yet they usually upgrade their gradute title up to PhD title and still unable to comprehend information or think logically.

this is true as this was what they told me in PH, however I formed peter Obi we nor dey give chi chi
Long story short, to make relevance they made me to capture again when I already did with my phone as per the ap.
Then they started their witch craft by not updating the app to reflect the speed of production ,anyway I have a British passport so went back to the Uk with that and just show the slip wen I got to immigration. came back like 4 months later it was ready, They ofcos asked for money ,I told them we nor dey bribe people where I come from, total spent then was N50k for passport, N2k for money processing fee by remita.
Its now N100k isnt it

There's no cost for registration. You will just pay the passport fee of 100k for a 32 page passport(5 years) or 200k for a 64 page passport(10 years).

How does one get the certi9fcate of origin to upload? Or is it not mandatory for renewals. That is my only issue from doing it myself.

Kindly revert is f you have a solution to this.

Thanks

banyork:
Nigerians, please stop patronizing fraudsters. The process has been greatly simplified through the efforts of the leadership of the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Honourable Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. Handle your applications personally and use only official channels for complaints and enquiries.
