Someone should help please I'm applying for international passport, never had one before. I used my maiden name as surname and chose Mrs as title. My husband is my next of kin. The immigration officers during my interview convinced me to change my title to Miss and use single as my status. They said that since I'm using my maiden name, that it would be extremely difficult to change the name to my husband's surname should I want to do so in future if I register as Mrs. Note also that this would affect my next of kin relationship as I cannot state single and fill 'husband' as NOK. Now if I take their advice, it may be difficult to apply for my husband to join as my dependant since our wedding date showing on the certificate is earlier than my international passport registration date which I claimed single as my status. If I go ahead to do a change of name, I'd have to pay afresh to apply for international passport including paying for change of name on my national ID. I want to ask them to register me with my maiden name and indicate married as I don't intend to change my name anytime soon All my official documents including school application bear my maiden name 1 Like |

Happyfellow147: Married but you ain't answering your husband's name..the effect of your mistake might not be now but in the nearest future and you will surely regret it. Your husband will end up answering your boyfriend till they kingdom come. Why not wait till you get married and then do the passport? Affidavit and marriage certificate will cover the name differences. 1 Like |

Sis, as you know they make everything difficult in Nigeria. I have been in this dilemma recently and had to succumb to changing from my maiden name to my husband’s name not because I was ready to make that change but because of the rigorous administrative processes involved (not just now, but in the future). I can tell you that no where is it mandated (culturally and religion wise) that a woman must change her name when married. And please don’t claim single because you are not, as far as you have a legal document to back up your marriage. It’s ok to have a Mrs Title and still use your maiden name. However, (in Nigeria) the tradeoffs might be more consequential on the cons of not changing it especially in this clime. Some examples are ; having name discrepancies in joint assets which may complicate legalities, having to get consent letter to travel with your kids because of name difference, having to deal with the stressful process of redoing your NIN and Passport again in the future (when you are ready) etc. I’m still having NIN issues because of this. I decided to just get it out of the way now. It’s just another thing women have to go through in the name of marriage. The decision is yours ultimately. Happyfellow147: 1 Like |

Thank you very much I understand exactly what you mean because I was almost thrown off balance yesterday. Thank God I told them to pause. Here in Port Harcourt, the immigration officers are not DIY friendly and they kept on referring to it yesterday. I don't have the time and energy to do the Nimc change of name and all presently. If I do that, it means I'd also apply for a fresh passport which would bear my husband's name They should register me like that. My marriage certificate and court affidavit should be enough kjsoteria: |

I saw an August 28th article on thisday online. Modified: Updated link https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/08/27/with-ict-compliant-officials-transferred-over-5000-applications-are-abandoned-at-ikoyi-passport-office/ I don't know how true the content is, but it seems what is happening in Ikoyi is not hidden to the authorities afterall. I also heard, not verified though, that taskforce was sent from Abuja to Ikoyi passport office and they are directed to clear all backlogs before attending to new ones. People maybe able to pick their passports soon. BUT TO NEW APPLICANTS, IKOYI REMAINS A NO GO AREA. |

Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Oggg: 10:17pm On Sep 02, 2021 |
Put it this way. Eg your father’s surname is Elechi Your husband’s surname is Madu You are either Miss Elechi or Mrs. Madu You are not Mrs. Elechi as that is your father’s name. If there’s anything you dnt want to face is stress of Nigerian change and change. There is absolutely no haste in changing your name but if you insist on keeping your maiden name, the right thin is Miss.. the maiden name and not Mrs. Maiden name It is very incorrect. As for your application later, there is no where on the intl passport that will be printed that will state miss or mrs Also lots of married women still have their maiden names on their documents and are recognized as married. The Western world does not enforce or force uou to change your name so I wonder why you feel your status as married will not be recognized except you change your prefix. The single/married thing filled on the immigration portal does not come up anywhere on the data page of your ppt. Attach your marriage certificate and other proofs of genuine relationship between you and your husband to your dependent application, that is admissible evidence and not the date of international passport or prefix or married or single or mrs on intl ppt form.
