[quote author=smut post=87872595]Hello guys , I have a question to ask as regards this new NIN . I heard that the NIN system is what is now linked to the immigration system to produce passports. What I mean is that, for those who want a change of data and have not yet applied for NIN can easily apply for the NIN on their new data in order to do their change of data on the new passport without paying any unnecessary money to any immigration officer for a change of information. As anyone already tried this

Hello house. Pls I need genuine response to my question.

There is an error in the year of birth (1983 instead of 1982) in my old int. passport. Travelled once with it (8yrs ago).

I have a new passport with the correct date of birth, will the difference in my year of birth affect my visa application? As I intend attaching the two passports to show that I have travelled before.

Waiting for your kind response. Thanks

I want to change my full name on my passport due to family lineage. I have paid the change of data administrative fee online and have receive the acknowledge slip. I also have all the requested documents with me, so when I check the status it shows "your Payment has been received but waiting for approval" , so I asked NiS servicom when can I submit documents to back it up, is it after approval or prior to approval but I was told to submit the documents even before approval and after approval, I will go to headquarter again for biometric and payment of new passport. Has anyone experience this before and how long does it takes. It is DIY especially with the new rules of NIS . Anyone with similar issues?

Hello, I want to renew my passport but the D.O.B on my NIN is different from the one on my expired passport. Which D.O.B will show on my new passport?
Re: Changing The Date Of Birth On My International Passport by mcjohn4444: 2:11am On Jun 16, 2021
I'm currently in some really messy situation.
I'm posting this for those that might find it as a warning and also to seek advice.

My first passport was issued in 2009. The birth year was wrong and I immediately complained, but I got the normal "no worry, you go correct am later".
I got SA visa and left Naija. In 2012, my passport got lost in SA, I came back to Nigeria with ETC and applied for a renewal/correction. This was because Nigerian consulate in SA won't reissue a lost passport, also said corrections can only be done in Abuja.
Well, I was disappointed again cos the 'contact' I used did a renewal instead of correction. He said since I didn't want to pay enough, that's what he could do. If I'm really serious with correcting year of birth, I need to pay like 80k, this was in 2012.
Long story short, I returned to SA and lived normal, come 2017 for renewal, they said I can't fix this error unless I go to Abuja. Same issue, but since it wasn't affecting my life, I did the renewal and forgot about it.

In 2019, I left SA cos I wanted to move to my wife in Sweden. So, I used this opportunity to go to Nigeria and fix this issue once and for all. It took almost 8 months (I had to do drivers licence cos the BVN I had was done with incorrect passport data), then I corrected BVN with the driver's license, applied NIN and finally went to Abuja with 200k. Correct passport issued after about 7 weeks.

The problem now is with Swedish Authorities. I've been living in Sweden since Feb last year, but they refused to issue my long term residence permit cos they found out I've applied for Schengen visa in the past with a passport with different year of birth. They have the new one but they just can't get over the fact that it took me 10 years to fix this.

Mumu ara mi, I explained that it was impossible to do this from abroad, since I lived outside Nigeria for many years, I couldn't get it done. I was honest with my explanation. I explained all the stress I went through in Naija to fix it, but they don't seem to understand why it took that long.

To make matters worse, most Nigeria consulates has it on their website that you can make such corrections from there without going to Abuja �, although it gets approved in Abuja (contradictory to my statement). Now they think I've been lying and this isn't looking good for me.

What can I do? Is it possible to have an immigration officer write a letter to explain the difficulty of correcting this?

Please help
