Thane:


Hello sir, after reading your comment I have successfully applied online for 32 page standard passport for 17k. I have all the requirements except "for guarantor form signed by Commissioner of oath".
I don't have any body to use as guarantor.

My location is abeokuta, however I went through some messages now and it seems that most people here go to Lagos passport office cos is faster.

My question is what do you advise i do now, should I discard the registration and go to Lagos Office and start afresh or should I go to abeokuta office tomorrow with the documents I have? I haven't paid yet.

A friend told me that I will still bribe them no matter what. And also there are no booklets there for now.

I need advice please mimilyrics Rayhanna bennymine Exmay02 Tee24 A2J and other experienced people help

If you want to use Lagos, Ikoyi and Ikeja precisely you can only get the enhanced passport which is 25000 plus 1000 service charge. The process is very easy and straightforward once you have all your documents. Make payment, get all documents ready and proceed to Ikoyi passport office. Ask of servicom, and you can continue from there. For the guarantor, you can get anyone who has drivers license or national I'd card and a valid international passport.


You also need to get NIN slip to proceed with the enhanced passport. I hope this helps

My friend who is applying for the new passport is also in Abeokuta. She has been to the Abeokuta office. It seems "no booklets" is the tactic used to purnish/delay those who don't want to part with cash. Funny thing is, it's like a gang up.

This is our findings today Sha. This country is in a mess!

DM me if you can.

Thanks very much for this, I have all, I got my nin slip in 2014, my problem is getting somebody as the guarantor. I'm new in my area, I came here for service.

Can I use a fellow corp member's voters card as guarantor?

I will advice you use Lagos, Ikoyi to be precise. It'sfaster and easier there. You can abandoned/discard the previous registration(I did same) since you have not paid as it has been confirmed that it's stressful in Abeokuta.

As for the guarantor, the gurus said you can use anyone with Valid international passport, driving licence or National ID card.

I appreciate the effort of admin for
coming up with this thread.. those that have made great contributions to enable the process seamless... God bless you all .

I read through and ventured into processing it myself irrespective of the threat I received from individuals due to the available validity on my passport (1yr 6 months) ... I started the process and ended the process .. all in 2 weeks .. your efforts will be crowned.

Thank you all

DIY New/Fresh International passport

Stage 1: Register on their website and pay 25k +1k for service charge...total 26k

Stage 2: still on the website, print guarantors form, acknowledgement form and Payment Receipt.

Stage 3: Take the form to your guarantor to fill, your guarantor will attached passport photograph, photocopy of international passport data page, and photocopy of NIN or Drivers licence.

Stage 4: Take the guarantor's form to court for stamp(they will collect 500 naira or 1k)

Step 5: Go to your selected centre for capturing
I used Ikoyi, Lagos State, so I will be using Ikoyi as an example.

Doc to take to Ikoyi, passport office
1. Application form
2. Acknowledgement form
3. Payment Receipt
4. Filled and stamp guarantors form with international passport DATA page and NIN slip or Drivers licence
5. 2 passport photograph (your own)
6. Photocopy of NIN slip
7. Photocopy of Birth certificate
8. Photocopy of State of Origin

You can also go with original of 6,7 and 8

Step 6: When you enter Ikoyi passport office, by the right hand you will see a "Servicecom" sign, speak with any of the staff sitting inside the cubicle.
He/she will collect all your document vet it and return it with a another documents and ask you to photo it and fill(make sure you photocopy it before filling)

After filling retire it to the "ServiceCom" person . He or she will open a file for you and write places you have to go for signing and stamping.

After stamping in one place, ask the person "where is next" politely and follow through the process.
When you're done with capturing, before stepping out of the capturing hall, a man will collect your file and register it. After that, take your file back to the "ServiceCom" personnel and your DONE.

God bless Nigeria and God bless everyone that contributed on here.

Please what's the difference between e-passport and standard? I applied for standard online

Apart from the old passport and the printout, do I go with any other document for passport collection?

@Thane

The one without NIN is what some refer to as standard passport

Growingboi:
Both of them are E-passport, the new one with NIN is called enhanced e-passport and it's more expensive.

The new one requires NIN while the old one doesn't.

Voters card is not accepted. Driver's licence or national I'd card plus international passport.

Hello, did you register at Abeokuta also?
I've being waiting for collection since march at the Abeokuta office but it seems they intentionally delay this thing.

What are the benefits of the 17k and the 25k passport ?

Will the one without NIN be adviceable for someone who intends to travel abroad ?

I got it today. Thanks to everyone for the support and swift responses. The enhanced e-passport is actually enhanced.

I also got my passport today. The whole process was seamlessly done within 1 week and I didn't pay anyone a dime.

Did you do the application yourself or got assisted. If you applied yourself, from what I'm hearing, you may wait longer, as they seem to deliberately frustrate DIY. But if you paid to get assisted, you should handle your guy well, as he might have collected your money, and not "sorted "others officials you will pass your file.

We are yet to register, still considering other options available to us.

Goodluck

Which command did you use, Lagos??

Ikoyi

It's honestly easier for DIY at Ikoyi.

Today, there was zero queue at the gate for both capturing and collection. My collection didn't take 5mins.

I want to assume you imply difference between enhanced and standard because enhanced and standard are both e-passports.

The difference is just like the name says "enhanced". Both passport can still be used. The enhanced is an upgrade to some features of the standard.

For example the introduction of NIN (from NIMC) on the data page, which is not in the standard passport.
Also, the availability of a 64 page 10 years validity type (cost ₦70,000) for adults, which is not available for the standard passport.
Plus other upgrades.

Greenbullet:

Travelling abroad is the main purpose of International passports. So, you can use any (enhanced or standard).

Greenbullet:
What are the benefits of the 17k and the 25k passport ?

I assume enhanced as the 25k (32 page 5 years validity enhanced passport at ₦25,000). So, my answer is the benefits of enhanced passport, which in summary is upgraded features.
