Is it the same International Passport that they dont have materials to print since October 2019 in Oshogbo and Ibadan Office or another Passport?

Re: How To Get New International Passport In Nigeria by adextetoo(m): 3:12pm On Feb 04, 2020
If you truly know you need an international passport urgently I will strongly advice you not to pay online, else you may not get it in 6months after registration.

Don't be deceived by the stipulated 28k Immigration officers will advise you better.

This is nigeria use your head.

My two cents.
Re: How To Get New International Passport In Nigeria by ACRI: 3:13pm On Feb 04, 2020
Online ??

Think twice

To take this route you better know someone at one to the immigration offices around if not Na voicemail

They have a messed up mentality that you short change them when you use online route. Abuja immigration office has a racket there, you pay twice the usual amount but you get the passport

Re: How To Get New International Passport In Nigeria by Nobody: 3:16pm On Feb 04, 2020
Pls sir

I once made a passport renewal.

The renewed passport is now lost.

And i cant remember its number again so i can file lost affidavit and police report to obtain another one.

But i have the oldest one with me. Since like 2005 version.

My question is

Can i simply renew this 2005 passport instead of applying for a new one?

Thank you
