Good afternoon house. Please my son got captured for his passport renewal on the 22nd of March, 2023 while the system generated 19th of May, 2023 as the date of collection.. However the passport was not ready on the date given for collection..

Consequently, this has put the date of appointment for my son in the US Embassy into jeopardy as he is scheduled for June 1st, 2023 and he is to present a reissued passport because the old passport will expire in August.

Please what's the way forward? Can he go with the old passport for the interview while we await the renewal?

Which passport office did you use.
If it’s alausa, i can send the pco contact, you stext on WhatsApp and explain yourself. She should be able to help

Teeexquisite:
[sup][/sup] Good evening everyone. Please I applied for passport renewal. Unfortunately, I forgot to note down the Application ID and reference number before proceeding to payment. The payment was successful but I didn't get any email from them regarding application details from them as stated.

Please who knows how I can't retrieve the reference number and Application ID to complete application

Try going back on the browser, you should see it

ekitimanalways:

COMPLAIN TO THE NEW PCO OF FESTAC PASSPORT OFFICE. HE'S VERY WARM...

How can one gain access to the PCO, can anyone just go straight to the office?

oliviaq:



I doubt if he will get it on that day.
I captured March 3rd and collection date says may 2nd. And is still not ready. I have been to that office twice still same story.if you need it urgently is best you go with your Evidence to show why you need it to the PCO. Note .go on the collection date if not she won’t listen to you.

Ok thank you so much
I will

I got captured at Alimosho on March 15th, but Alausa does their printing. My printout says May 12th.... which is next week Friday. I hope they have printed my passport sha.

God bless you, please let me know if you’re able to get it on the 12🙏🏽

Good evening everyone, please who knows what month they’re producing in Alausa…. Is there anyone that captured in march and has collected passport?

I’m going to need my passport really soon, want to know if I should wait till the collection date or go earlier to find a way to sort it.

Thanks

Good evening.
Please who has any info on what month Abeokuta center is currently producing

They should be done with January, my friend captured jan 23 her passport was printed march 28 she collected it last week

Jannyspot:



It’s same thing ooo
Still in progress but I feel it should be out by now. Expected date was April 13

You can’t know if it’s ready when you track it online….. if you don’t stay far you can go there to check

YeyeBoyfriend:
If you do passport renewal, your valid visas in such passports will still be valid, your new passport will carry your expired passport number along with the new one, hence you see people (either dual citizens or expired passports and new passport holders) traveling with two or more passports

I did same at Alausa NIS and collected my passport last month

When did you capture please. If you did DIY, how long did it take to get your passport.
Thanks

[quote author=Highlyfavoured3 post=122418426]Thank you, will the last box be checked by the time it is ready? I read on this platform when someone said that the last box will not be ticked until the applicant collects the passport. Kindly clarify this, thank you.

[/quote
The last box won’t be checked till after you collect the passport. Apparently they’re supposed to send a text message or mail to tell you when it’s ready but they don’t do that anymore……. So the only option is to check back and ask them or ask people that went to collect to get an estimated timeline of sort

owolabiza:


i did capture in November at festac but portal is still saying in production

Have you gone back to ask about your passport, don’t rely on the portal

My friends passport is ready at abeokuta, but when i tracked it for her online, it’s still showing in production

Sonicroyel:
Good afternoon guys I started my journey on the 14th of March and my capture date is 14 April rn it's stuck at nin verification. Although I have my nin that i did 2 years ago what could be the issue with the verification

I was told to pay 8k to recapture but I don't really understand the idea of recapturing??

I need help

NIN verification is done after passport capturing. If your name on the NiN and date of birth aligns with what is on the old passport (for renewal) or passport application (for fresh) then you have nothing to worry about. I

Highlyfavoured3:
Thank you for this detailed in information, please can I know the list of documents you presented for your sister's renewal.

I Left home 6:35 took an uber, arrived at 6:50 and met a very long queue outside, i I walked up to an officer to ask him about the capturing then he told me to join the queue that a board will be brought out soon so we can check for our names.
Then the board was brought out with names pasted on it that was about 7:15 then the queue started moving because people were checking their names and moving inside.
After a while on the queue, someone passed an information that online diy should be one a different queue, it was shorter but wasn’t moving because our names weren’t on any board
One of the hawkers said they start agent queue by 7:30 & diy by 8 cause we’re fewer that a different officer would come out to check our documents and attend to us (I bought brown file from him for 500(brown because it was reissue, white file is for fresh application)
An officer finally came around 8:15 and started checking documents he said he’s going to attend to us in batches of 10 each
A guy was sent back because he was born in 1996 and came with attestation of birth certificate instead of birth certificate (although he came back around 10ish) i guess he was able to go get the document
Another man was sent back because he didn’t have certificate of origin
The officer also asked some minors in front of me a lot of questions about their mum and dad(even though their mum was with them)
Then my turn(i was with my underaged sister) then he asked for our mum, i told him she was on her way he gave me back our documents and said when our mum gets there he will attend to my sister so I explained to him that it’s not a fresh application that it’s renewal we came for and my mum even wrote an application letter for my sister, when he heard renewal he said ok then just asked if I have photocopies of our passport datapage front and back i said i do and also asked if i have file i said do, he said good that i will be the one to open my sister’s file so he took us (first 10) in and told my sister and other minors to go upstairs to sit
P:s- if more than one person comes from the same family, he will take only one person to the file opening section and ask every other person from that family to go wait in the hall upstairs.
Got in 8:35 and sat at the servicom desk
There were 2 officers at the desk, the man and another woman , the started arranging my file at 8:58
Finished Arranging my file at 9:03 and she told me to go to room 12(servicom/processing room)
(Renewal doesn’t require much documentation just a copy of your documents)
We were like 5 on the queue in front of room 12
I Entered 9:12, here some of the documents in the file were signed and stamped
I Was asked to take the file back to the servicom desk and from there i was asked to go wait in the hall upstairs.
After a while I stepped out to get snacks and drink and came back to the hall to continue the waiting game(this is where the serious waiting is)
At a point a guy came in to hawk shawarma and chicken n chips (lol),another woman came in to sell tiger nut,fruit drinks and fruit salad
At 11:50, an officer came in to call people (agent people) with babies and minors for capturing
Finally he came back at 12:30 with diy files to call us for capturing ,minors were given preference,and asked to be in front of queue
Then he gave us our files and took us downstairs to sit according to how we were called , so minors were at one side , adults at the other side(i was with the minors because of my sister)
Then he moved us to the main hall and sat that was 12:38 at this point, agent and diy applicants were together
Then we continued waiting for our turn

{One lady paid agents to process, and the agent typed her application letter instead of writing by hand, the lady had to rewrite she was just cursing the agent (i could feel her frustration)}

Then at 1:17, an officer came to take us upstairs to the minor capturing room, then he collected our files and took them out, the agent people’s file was given to an officer in the capturing room fr NIN verification as she was verifying she was returning the files to the owners and they were being captured , after a while (1:43) an officer brought back our(diys) files and gave it back to us(guess they went to verify it in a different place)
At 1:58pm we finally captured and collected our enrollment print out (date of collection is may 19)
I left the passport office 2:08pm

Thanks to all the tips i got from here, really got me prepared.

I’m going for my capturing at Alausa tomorrow,i hope it will be as straightforward as described here and i will come back with testimony.
