stacyadams:
grin I registered online and paid 30k using parkway ready cash on Thursday,got notification of payment on same day,,got text to go for biometrics on Friday morning..I went for biometrics today mondaygrin

I no spend reach 20minutes for their office sef
I don't even know how to appreciate the info I got here regarding this process...

The below was gotten from a NLder, can't seem to find the handle again, so thought to post here

To locate the office:

Once you enter the road from bus stop, police station is to the right. Don't go there and don't attend to any police asking you what you came for. Walk into the compound to the left and opposite the police station. Go straight down to almost the last office having possap or CID written at the entrance. The office just after the last room having air conditioner. All the best



Now to my own process:
Applied very early into the morning of Jun 8th, say 12/1am. Paid some minutes later, surprised to see POSSAP SMS by 11am next day, Jun 9th to come for biometric capture; couldn't make it that day, went on the 10th.

With the info I got here, (incredibly helpful btw), I no look UCHE face ooo; entered First bank fess, to kinda "survey the area," withdrew some cash and 4rm then on to locate "the black gate". So, because there were a string of offices inside, I stopped by to ask a man I saw sitting by a desk, he asked which police officer is handling for me, I said, no online; he then directed me to the office.

At the entrance to the office, one POSSAP woman asked again, I retorted, "online." she gesticulated and directed me to a man.

At the capturing desk, the man said I will pay 5k for capturing & 5k for finger print- if I wanted. Omo, I looked straight-faced at him & boldly told him in my language, don't say that's the amount, say, "plz settle me with something", he smiled.
Long story short, I shaa dashed him 6k for being jovial "and d effort" he made to go get the fingerprints for me. I took my print out and left(which is very optional, just decided to do it, just cause....)Biometrics didn't even take up to 15 mins.
Less than an hour I got back 2 work, I received POSSAP's SMS that my PCC request has been approved, checked my mail and saw the certificate.

P: S: Please, don't use any agent AND don't talk to any police or anyone beckoning on u OR asking random questions, they just want to extort you.

Same method I used when getting my passport, same I used here. No agent used, a lot of money saved.

Are all domestic biometric capture done only in Alagbon?
Re: Updates On The New Nigeria Police Clearance Certificate by Morizjay: 9:48pm On Jul 08
Getting a Nigerian Police Clearance Certificate (Police Character Certificate) the same day is challenging, as standard processing takes 1–3 working days, but visiting the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos, early in the morning with all documents can allow for urgent, same-day processing

I have the same issue. I have also tried several bank cards (Visa and Mastercard) including Revolut and Wise cards. Nothing works.
Called them but no response. I have sent an email and still waiting for a response.

Does anyone have a work around? Thank you.

Use your monzo card if you have got one! I actually used that and it was stress-free. I tried different cards like hsbc and others but none went through.
