I was there and its same excuse of no booklets. Some say they re expecting this week while others say they can't say when the booklets go come. But as i was sitting down i saw a lady been given her passport codedly and i went to block her outside she said she captured sept ending. Honestly am tired and frustrated. Am supposed to resume school by January all my hopes is now slim by d day.
Have you gotten it yet?

Finally got my passport
Semi DIY
Change of name for marriage - however I also changed my middle name so I was told to go to Abuja

I filled and paid online and took all my documents to Abuja. I had heard online about scarcity of 32 so I paid for 64 pages.

Read lots of comments including ewami's experience and took the first flight to Abuja and taxi to Sauka.

I went to the green building after the glass house forget the name and at the point of sign in I was asked my mission and who was helping me. I said I paid online. I was directed to one office.

I told him I paid online and the man started carrying my file around. From office to office and finally to the capturing glass house. There I waited for about 5 hours. Many people were coming in with their helpers/officers and getting captured quickly. I wasn't called. Eventually I understood that it is because I was diy. Around 3:40 I started making a fuss and I was asked who was helping me and I said no one. I was told to be patient I will be captured. Eventually I tracked the officer who moved my file around and he spoke to them inside and I was captured.
After that the file went through some more processes and I was told to go.

I will say this was partly diy because I had to keep calling the officer for updates.

I captured same day 27/9/2021. My passport was couriered to me yesterday. But date of issue was 18/11/2021.

I gave the officer some funds for his help.

So not purely diy as I did require assistance.

My advice is to pay online and print out your documents and go to the passport office. And take it from there. You may find that you need no assistance especially if it is straightforward renewal or fresh passport.
Start early.

I spent far less than what they were calling it for express someone told me 120-150,000 . However I spent 57,000 + tips. The officer never asked me for money I just gave him a token at my discretion.

My experience with Ibadan office - very disorganized. Not very diy friendly cos they r quite disorganized. But the way out isnto constantly check up on them and keep putting pressure. The Servicom people are quite friendly.

Abeokuta office - seemed very organized. Far more organized than Ibadan.

General tips - try to go to the passport office very early. Be polite and smile. And just use your persistence to wear them down.
Be ready to be patient sha

Best to do it in your city so you can visit them and check things for yourself.

Then nis portal live chat is quite helpful
The facebook page sadly wasn't helpful in my opinion. I only got a response once. My other messages went unanswered.

Hope this helps

I finally went to the NIS office in uyo for a fresh passport (32pages). I did the registration and capturing today, I had no guarantor and so the officer that helped me, sourced for one within the office.. I spent a total of 30k.
I was scared of the diy, so that I will not be told that there was a mistake anywhere for me to spend extra money and time.
From my observations, once you step into the reception you will be asked if you have anyone inside that will be your facilitator. Which means you must have an officer that will help you around for a tip at the end of the process.
I heard the same old story of no booklets in the office. I asked one of the officers why the issue of no booklets and he said that booklets are printed in Malaysia, and that the government is using this as an indirect way of stalling the citizens from travelling out or relocating outside the country.
I'm still wondering when mine will be ready for collection.

I have made payment online and trying to book appointment date but its showing invalid application details what do I do? I've crosschecked and I'm pretty sure my details are correct .Also what documents should I carry along with me for renewal
Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by sanyalai: 7:56pm On Dec 03, 2021
Collection date will be stated on your enrollment ID paper. It won't take long if it's for 64 pages. I renewed for 32 pages on Monday. Collection date is stated for Jan 26 if there are no hindrances.

Anyone who have current situation at Nigeria Immigration Service should please tell me on re-issue (renewal) of International passport because the Officer I know at their office told me yesterday that they have stopped the processing and they are waiting for further directive because they want to include some features in it and 32pages will cost N60,000 to N70,000.
