Dats wat we spend our days doing, but not anymore.

It's sapping my energy. So I will just wait. If it doesn't come we go for visa.

I did mine last year, and it wasn't like this.

They ve backslided. The change didn't last.

Keep getting told they do it(renewal) within 7 days now, so I'm hopeful as i already bought tickets

I also notice OIS- the company doing BVN for Nigerian banks also do renewals and i'm certain they are a bit more professional-though they'll probably charge

@bebe2 I think you should follow it up, that's far too long. They probably have it sitting on their desk somewhere

been looking for this thread

Many thanks guys for your help

got my new passport on 11th April travelled on 12th. pretty close

Notice on the day of collection some people were not given, even though they've paid- something about Abuja not giving them permission or with-holding their passport. Apparently some issues to do with their previous application or their fingerprint/face not matching undecided huh

Congratulations!

I was lucky then because mine took 3 weeks and I got it posted to my address because I submitted prepaid envelope
Re: Renewal Of Nigeria Passport , UK by DisGuy(mod): 5:36pm On May 07, 2016
Many thanks

I saw a lot of people with prepaid envelops when I went for the interview/biometrics, just didnt want to have another reason to bleep up.
but will definitely recommend that to anyone outside london and no- flexible leave from work

The prepaid envelope system is a better way to return the renewed passport.
It gets returned within 7 days (cost of underground ticket, parking, British rail and time). Prepaid anyday!!!!
