So less than 2 weeks after capturing i collected my passport today at Alausa Ikeja. Strictly DIY except the fact i had to pay 1k for the person that helped to fill and sign my guarantor form. Over and out

Waooh! Congrats boss.

I was there a day before my collection date and was told that it is not ready yet...

Lol, I was actually travelling on that day...so I decided to check if it's ready. I'll go back there when I'm back to Lagos.

Please can a sworn affidavit be used in place of birth Certificate?

I want to speed up this whole process .

delgook14:

They just got a few to "process some August and September batches" according to them.

Can you imagine such gross, utmost incompetence?

Oggg:

Thanks did that. For posterity sake, this was their response :
​Thank you for contacting NIS.To change your place of birth in your passport,you will be required to write an application for change of place of birth with your supporting documents as well as the payment of non refundable administrative fees and subsequently the payment for booklet if approved.Thank you

Truly, there’s no 32pages passport in Alausa as at today that I went there. Most of those who are privy to the information of non-availability of 32pages passport opted for 64pages 5years passport. So, if you need your passport urgently just apply for the 64pages 5years passport do not waste time waiting for 32pages passport because you don’t know how soon it will be available. My advise.

I don't know how true that claim of no 32pages 5years is but I remember vividly that was the same story those errand boy immigration officers were telling me when I wanted to do mine last year; advocating I opt for the 64pages one. I believe it is a marketing gimmick of some sort to fleece unsuspecting people of more money.

Thank God for this thread then.. I DIY and got my 32pages 5years passport in 2weeks.

Please how many passports is my guarantor supposed to present?

I have been at NIS office since morning, saw my file on the table in the morning and the interviewer promised to call me soon. Only for me to go back there, and my file was missing. We spent the last 3hrs ransacking the whole office to find my file. They finally found it. Only for me to find out during the interview stage that I cannot be captured today cos my guarantor's form has only one passport. The hell.! On that same form the guarantor was asked to present only one passport.!

These guys are so good at frustrating somebody. I spent the entire day at NIS office to achieve nothing! I hate this system! �

Shey you see, the system doesn't like you because you want to toll a path that will deny them hundreds of thousands daily, so you have to be extra prepared for them such that they won't find any fault in you. Like you go there with at least a copy extra of everything should in case they mess up your file though it is not that hard sha.

Sorry that i was just sending this now busy since when I came back.....
Went to Ikoyi passport office today for my son passport.
Got to the gate and when I was asked what I came for, I confidently told him I was going to meet Mr Adamu servicecom, he let me in sharply�

I met Mr Agba, he asked what I came for and I explained to him, he asked for my documents and he checked, then he circle on the date of my interview which was 16th of February and he told me I should come back on that date that they are following the normal instructions couples with covid-19 rules blah blah blah. I now explained to him that I need it urgently for my Son and he responded that if I can wait to finished with the people that are given today's date for their interview and I replied no problem.

After 10mins I saw him still busy, I walked to meet one officer Mr Emmauel within the office oo and I explained what i want to do and he collected the documents bring one brown file for me, arrange it and gave me some form to make photocopy... omo menh I got to the business center, the guy told me it was #50 per copy I open mouth I no fit close am. (Ikoyi price)��� thank God I have done all other documents from home. Guys do your photocopies along ooo. Back to servicecom Mr Emmanuel was not on sit, and I saw my file on his table, then I call Mr Agba attention to it and he asked me to bring it then he added those photocopies I did, sign and directed me to one woman, I can't recall her name (she is one igbo woman)
Asked me who is handling my job and I replied that I process it myself.
She looked the file thoroughly and saw the interview date and started lamenting, can't I read the instructions after completing the form that there is an interview date and said I have to come back on that date then I repeat what I told Mr Agba.., she also asked for the mother of the baby, I told her she is at work that she can't come with us, she replied and this passport is urgent abi (nawa for that woman) after long conversation on phone with her caller, she sha sign and directed me to long room.

Immediately I enter the long room, I noticed everyone else had white files while I was the only one with brown file. I met one woman and she directed me to first desk to confirmmy payment, #Gosh!!! file full this woman hand but to my surprise immediately I greeted and I show her my file she collected it even one officer submitted before me she sign my own first and the woman beside her directed me to next desk for stamping.
Getting to this man, as I stretch my file to him, he pend what he is doing, stamp it & sign and directed me for the next section. this place is for minor only.

Got there, there is this one woman that wanted to stand up and she collected the file whispered to her colleague to attend to me and the man refused and replied her "you kuku know that i don't attend to such file that has that colour". the woman smile and sit back then check and asked for the original copies pass it to the Oga to sign and I left there to capture room

Last stage, mind you while in the longroom there was no light, we were told that the Generating set was faulty. I sha have the faith that my son must capture today. Getting to the capture room i gave my file to the woman she collected and told me to sitdown outside that my name will be called. (Special candidate full this section ooo) those officer are just bring there own people while neglecting we DIY. After 30mins to 45mins of waiting, I went back to meet the woman and she promised me that in next 5mins she will call me back and she did. We get in with my son within 10mins he capture and I was giving a small paper which a tracking number was written and we ex the room.
Return the file to servicecom and Mr Agba told me to come back in the next 1 or 2weeks for the pick up.

The whole process took almost 4hours thou my son contributed to the delay, Dad I want to wee wee, dad i want poo, Daddy i want to drink water... infact we excuse ourselves when we are in the capture room. What did you expect from a 1year plus baby. You mama in the house una dey try ooo��� couples with the power failure.

How many pages passport?

Passport renewal did not need a guarantor form?

please, what is DIY?

awo666:

"Do it Yourself". It's an online platform where you get to apply for your passport and make your payment.
DIY is also cheaper compared to the physical transaction between you and an officer. It also saves you the cost of "dashing" officers money via "express route".

I don't know how true that claim of no 32pages 5years is but I remember vividly that was the same story those errand boy immigration officers were telling me when I wanted to do mine last year; advocating I opt for the 64pages one. I believe it is a marketing gimmick of some sort to fleece unsuspecting people of more money.

Thank God for this thread then.. I DIY and got my 32pages 5years passport in 2weeks.

I self processed the 32 pages 5years passport for myself in December and got it within the pace of 14 days from point of application to capturing to collection. But at the time I wanted to process my my wife’s passport, I was told by a senior officer that if my wife is not in a hurry to collect I can process the 32pages 5 years for her because there no booklet for 32 pages 5years passport at the moment but if she needs it urgently then I should go for 64pages 5years. After all it’s just a difference of 10k and it’s self process.

Good day,
Does the arrangement of the names in the "Given names" section on the passport data page matter? On my current passport, it is "Ade Jones" and on my NIN it is "Jones Ade".

I plan on renewing my passport soon

NOTE: This is different from "Surname". The surname is correct and same on both.

Pls the date on my collection slip is Feb 8, three days ago but I haven't received any message to come and get it. Should I go or I should wait till I've been alerted to come?

You think I give two shits lol. I had my passport less than 24hrs after applying linked to my bvn and nin

I skipped dudes on horrendous queues and was offered a cup of tea.

I would have paid more if I would have been privy to a second time, look upon the scorned expressions on faces of frustrated ppl under scorching heat as I left the immigration flaunting my passport

Lol
