Thanks for sharing.

Mine expires by October. Let me be warming up

I am in the process of getting mine.

This one everyone walks with his leg in Lag, I don't understand again how it could be easy for me to go over for collection/biometric.

I applied before this sudden change, now look at the situation of things.

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.

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

K

My advice if you really want a Nigerian Passport, dont go to Lagos, Abuja immigration office, better go to like of Osun, Ogun, and less patronised states

You can also contact me if you want to get yours done in a few hours.
I'm joking oh.

There is nothing called an 'international' passport.

Have they not ban us from travelling?

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

See dem... dem no put price ooo
