Good day everyone
My mum captured in September but she hasn't been in the state of capture since then and will be back January next year
My question is by next year, will they start asking for a fee for not collecting during year of capture or it's whenever you're around, you just go over to pick up ?

Thanks

You’re welcome. Go with your black and white, nothing do you.
Hey Miko,

Sorry I'm disturbing you o. After printout, the passport attached to the application page is small and faint a bit that, although the document has been vetted
Will they not allow to capture

Cos I think you (or someone else here) mentioned that some people were turned back because the passport uploaded at the point of application is bad.

Mikocake:
One copy of your application page, online payment receipt and appointment page is enough.

No color requirements for the documents.

You need the original copies of your birth certificate and identification letter and corresponding photo copies (just one copy each)

They didn’t ask for NIN.
Thank you so much for the swift response
Cos to print colored here, they are calling 500naira for me

Mine was at Immigration Office Ikoyi. I arrived at around some minutes past 11am. I signed in at the gate before entering. The place was crowded, but they had enough officers on ground to handle the tasks. The officers were friendly and efficient. I met one who directed to an office where fresh applicants were tended. I met an officer on ground who scrutinized my documents and requested for the photocopies of my original birth certificate and letter of identification. I did the photo copy as requested and stapled them together with the appointment letter, the online receipt and my application form.
My documents were cleared and I proceeded to the capturing room. Everything was smooth and swift, was through before 2pm.

I noticed some applicants had issues with their uploaded passport and didn’t get captured as a result of that. My advice for anyone applying is to make sure their passport photograph is as clear as possible. Avoid uploading blurry photos and ensure you go with your original documents on the day of capture.

Thanks
Hi Milo
Good evening

How many copies of your application page and appointment page did you go with
And did you print as colored or black and white
Other docs like LG identification and birth certificate, how many copies did you need
Also, did you take your NIN (did they ask for identification and passport photographs )
Thank you

my birth certificate was not ready.

Now I want to go back to complete the application, but when I input my ref number and date of birth, it brings up an error message - "your request cannot be processed at this time"

my question is, can I start a fresh application?

@ ekitimanalways please can you help me with an answer

Use the details on the NIN. Anything else is asking for trouble.
Hello Zinho
Thank you for your response
However, please go through my post again
Her NIN details are correct, and it's what's populated when applying, so it can't even be changed.

I'm asking in terms of other documents - her marriage certificate.
There are little errors like I mentioned ..
My questions were if it'll be an issue, when they look at her name as is on application form (as well as NIN) and then ask why the marriage certificate has errors on her first and middle name.

Do I need to do affidavit for her marriage cert or her marriage cert is not really important in the grand scheme of things so I just leave it like that

Please, how can I go about the “declaration of age” in Lagos?
I don't have government issued birth certificate.
Visit any High court in Lagos to get the age declaration
Hope your date of birth was before 1992 cos that's only when age declaration will be accepted.
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Puya:
Good day everyone

i want to do a fresh international passport for my mum.

Her maiden name was changed after she got married, so her marriage cert is having the old surname she/her family (siblings) use to have.
Also, her names (first and middle name was not spelt correctly on the marriage certificate- two alphabetical errors).. However, the details on her NIN is accurate along with other valid documents..

Question is, should I just use the old maiden name as is on her marriage cert when filling the maiden made part on the application process (cos I will be uploading her marriage certificate)

do i need to do affidavit for the alphabetical errors in her name spelling on the marriage cert?
or maiden name doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things during passport application
or do i even need to upload the marriage certificate ?

Thank you..

I sincerely agree with you on logistics.
I had an experience with Obams logistics few months ago.
Asked for bill to move three (3) simple chairs, more like reading chairs, and he billed me N16k from Ikorodu to Iyana Oworo.

I got alternative, a Sienna that brought it to me at N6k, I gave the driver and his colleague cold cans of beer.
I had to call him back to inform him that I have sorted it; for reference sake.

Attached is picture of the chair.

Logistics guys on this forum are not ready for business.

Imagine people are hustling to buy items at clearance price and logistics is placed at premium value. God is watching us all.

Sir!!!
Is the letter from the state of origin compulsory??

And where would I get the letter; is it from the high court?

Help a novice�
Yes, it’s very much compulsory and part of the documents you will be bringing the originals.
Go to your state liaison office in whatever state you are (I.e if you’re not or don’t reside in your state of origin to visit your local govt of origin to get it)
Request for the state of origin certification, also called local govt of origin certificate.

So there's no hope for someone like me who lost his birth cert and wants to use age declaration?

Is there any other way to get birth cert as I'm already over 18?
Age declaration is accepted for 1992 and above
from 1993-2000s , the accepted is NPC
you can visit the NPC office in surulere to get a new one if you fall under 93-2000s (it's less than 2500 and i think it will take about 2 weeks to do, you can give them extra money to fast track it)
i hear they give attestation now instead of the certificate. i believe it will still suffice.

Goodluck!

I feel like i should share my experience at the Ikoyi Passport office to help others

8th of November was my capturing date, but before then i had gone through this thread to get the necessary information required to have a seamless capturing as a DIY.

Back Story: I have never had the original of my NPC birth certificate. always used a photocopy when required. (infact, i didnt even know that what i do present as orginal was a photocopy until an organization i went for an interview recently mentioned it). I researched on how to get another NPC certificate but it was too late to start processing one so i got an age declaration instead and hoped that it works after asking few questions here.
I came into lagos, went home to pick my original NIN slip and could not find it also. I came to this thread to inquire on what to do and i got responses.

So i took other documents required, and headed straight to Ikoyi Passport Office on Tuesday 8th. I got there around 7:59, signed in and headed straight to servicom.
(Let me note that the only original documents i had with me was my letter from state of origin. grin)

Few minutes after sitting, an officer came to collect our Appointment slip. I asked him if he was going to return it cos i had just that one copy and he said yes. so he took for everyone waiting and went back inside.

The waiting began. I saw people entering the office inside and coming out. No activity was hapening outside. I went inside and asked someone why they were standing and what is happening inside, her response was not straightforward. i went back outside to sit down. i remembered that i was yet to get a photocopy of my letter from state of orgin, age declaration and another copy of my NIN slip. so i stepped outside to get it and that was when i realized that i left my age declaration at home cheesy (LOL). I quickly called and have them send it via dispatch to ikoyi passport office. After photocopying, I went back inside and asked the guy i was sitting close to if the officer who took our appointment slip or anyone has come out to address us and he said No.

I was beginning to contemplate how to get another appointment slip when another officer came out with slips and starting calling names for people to queue up. He called the first ten, they queued and he checked their docs, put them in a brown file and directed them to long room. while he called the first ten, people he did not call started queuing at the back of those he called with their appointment slip in hands. See me without another appointment slip nah, i was looking lost grin. i wanted to rush out and get another appoitment slip when another officer came out again with another set of slips and started calling, that was when i knew it was in batches. They were really fast as long as you had all the documents required. No questions asked. they check your docs and if its complete, they file in the brown file and give you to move on.

Now, at that stage, i was wondering why everyone was given a brown file and why they were not asking "who is doing for you"cos all the stories i read here, people have commented on how they use seperate files for DIY and express people.
Anyway it got to my turn, the dispatch rider was yet to get to passport office with my age declaration so i submitted the photocopy of my NPC. It was filed and i left with two other guys i initiated conversations with while waiting.

We got to long room and was directed straight into the office. An officer stood up, collected our files and asked us to go back out and have a seat. Not long after, he started calling names. After the first guy went in and came out, i asked him why he was called and he said the officer asked for his orginals, he gave it to him and came right out. At this point, i started fidgeting. it was past 10 and i called the diaspatch rider who told me he was close by. The officer came out, called my name and i went inside.

While inside, he asked me for my originals. i quietly brought out my photocopy of my NPC birth cert, photocopy of my NIN and letter from state of origin. He was like "is that all?, bring out the rest" and i asked which other one sir? that's all i have. He asked where the original of my birth cert is and i told him i misplaced it. Then he gave me back my file and asked me to go and get the original. I asked him from where? and he just said PLEASE BACK TO SERVICOM TO DROP YOUR FILE, THEN GO AND GET YOUR ORIGINAL FROM NPC. then i started telling him that i have Age declaration and he said it's NPC he wants. Then i told him that i saw age declaration as part of the documents pasted at servicom and pestered that i have age declaration. Then he asked how old i am. when i responded, he told me i am below the age and cannot accept it. he shushed me out of me office and told me to return my file back to servicom.

I walked back to servicom devastated and decided to just wait for the dispatch rider to come so i can get the age declaration and head home. while at servicom, i was wondering where and who i will give the file back to. The officers there were still attending to people and just did not have my time. so i sat and waited.

Soon, the dispatch rider came after past 11am. i rushed to make a photocopy of the age declaration and one mind told me to go back to long room to try my luck. i got there, stood at the door of the office and started beckoning on the officer to come take a look at my age declaration. This man came, look at it and told me he cannot accept it. Apparently, he started speaking in yoruba to his colleague that i ran outside to quickly do age declaration from those cyber cafe people and that infact, i cannot be trusted that all my documents are fake. I quickly picked it up and started saying that i did not do it at the cyber cafe and that i got it at the high court. i also started showing him the receipts and one other thing the court attached to the age declaration incase of verification. while i was trying to defend myself, tears were already filling my eyes grin and at that point, i was willing to negotiate and bring out money if he mentions it. When i was showing him the receipts and insisting i did it at court, i was close to his colleague he was speaking with. His colleague now asked me to truly say where i did the age declaration and i swore with my life and every being that i did it at court. he asked me to show him the documents. he flipped through and actually realized that i was saying the truth due to the receipts and the other papers attached to the age declaration. so he went to the officer, showed him and begged him to just do it for me before my tears explode.

He took it and gave it to the next officer to sign. I thought it was all over but this next officer started questioning my letter from state of origin. said it does not look like what others are bringing. asked me where i got it from, when i got it, i answered all the questions. after answering, uncle was still shaking head saying he cannot accept it. I asked him what the issue was and what exactly he was looking out for in the letter because it was that same type of letter my siblings used for theirs. Then the officer asked me where i worked and what i do and i told him that i am jobless but i bake cakes grin grin( this was a lie though but i figured he might use from my answer to want to extort and i have to be careful with my response). After few seconds, he just signed and gave it to the next and last woman.

Now this woman was the thorough and straight forward amongst them. She openly told me that the age declaration is not acceptable and asked why i don't have the NPC. I told her that i do, but others have refused to accept it saying it's not orginal. She asked me to give it to her which i did. After looking at it, she asked if i have another copy of it and i told her that it was already in my file. She opened the file to search for it, found it, signed and then directed me to the officer holding the stamp for her to stamp.

After all these, i headed straight to the capturing room. The officer i met at the door directed me to a room where others were waiting to be captured and said they will come out to get my file from me there. Went straight to the room and saw the multitude also waiting to be captured. I looked around and confirmed that i'm not the only one there waiting with my file, searched for a seat and then the real waiting began.

While i was waiting, some officers will come in and call their candidate they are helping. The officer in charge of collecting files and calling names came out twice to call names but did not collect files. finally around past 2pm, the officer came out to collect those still holding their files. When my files was collected, i was relieved cos what it meant was that no matter what, i must capture that day. Not long after, i saw the two guys i started the process with at servicom leaving. Apparently, they were done (also DIYs).

My name was not called until few minutes to 5. This was after several announcements that their network has been shitty and we even got apologies for the delay. I entered the office together with other people and we sat accordingly. Then we submitted out files to the officers. While one was inputting the details, the other was handling the biometics and photo. asides network that hindered the delay in there, it was a seamless process. I captured, collected my file and went back to submit at servicom around 5;53.

I only spent 150naira at passport office and that was for my photocopies.

Set aside the issues i faced which was brought upon by myself (not holding my original documents), i would say that my DIY process was smooth. Never was i asked "who is doing it for you" (cos i was expecting it based on the stories here), or asked to bring money for anything, or was asked to go back or whatever because no-one was doing it for me.
So as a DIY, i would advise you go really early, with your originals and complete documents. You might not be as lucky as i was with my tears and begging grin. Also have patience to wait, and sit for long because they will call those for express entry first or officers handling for people will be coming to call out their people which will make your wait time obviously longer. But be rest assured that you will capture that day.

If you do not have patience and you don't like stress, DIY is not for you at all.
Also some people are not even aware that this process can be done by themselves. While waiting, the lady beside me was shocked when i told her that i was doing this passport by myself.


I'm sorry for the long read..
