Hello house, i base in Osogbo, i want to do my international passport. I'm going the express way.

I was at the osogbo office yesterday, was stopped at the security point cos I dont know anyone there. I was told its 55k, no booklet

I need someone who has a link into the immigration office so..I can do it and get it immediately.

oloyedelove:
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?

Somebody should kindly reply.

I have someone that works there but I don't know you in person

Thegamingorca:
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

This response. You deserve a drink

It's nothing less than 40k in Lagos. I mean the express route.

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.


Thanks to everyone that has contributed to this page. You guys motivated me.


DIY is the way.....

Weldone sir, how did you get the NIN for your baby's international passport application.

Yes obviously which is a good idea and also the more reason the government is making everyone see the need to do the NIN. But I think it would be better if this country could provide things faster and easier.

Imagine people complaining of not getting passport since last year...

That's sad.

Honestly, they're not making things easy for people, especially this NIN of a thing.

But there's not so much they could do . I could remember I was telling someone on this thread that it's better to just apply for the passport when you know you still have few months to waste before needing it because Nigeria is bleeped!

That situation in Ibadan is extra crazy, yet they continue taking in tens of fresh applicants daily.

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

I want to speed up this whole process .

Hello Brethrens I still need answer to this please.

Why do you wanna use affidavit?. Why don't you just get a birth certificate?.

Please don't waste your money by applying through any agent. You can do the application yourself. It's very easy.

Collected your passport yet?

Not really. I'm in another state currently. So I'll go for it as soon as I return to Lagos.

No. I don't think so.

My understanding is that the new digital passports require the NIN (are they not all the new digital passports anyway). It will not go through without the NIN.

MufasaLion:

Well, I can't really say. The collection date on my confirmation slip is 9th February. But since I was traveling before then, I went for collection a day before my collection date. When I got there, I was told that it isn't ready. And then I traveled.

To cut the story short, I don't know if my passport is ready. But it's SUPPOSED to be ready by the time I go there again.
