I want to renew my expired passport and change the name as I am now married. Please do I need my NIN to reflect the new name I want on my passport? Do I need NIN for this process? If I go to Abuja office will I be attended to on the same day?

oluwasolajames:


If you are in Lagos go to the shops beside the passport office in Alausa,Ikeja. They do it which is around 5k and less than 2-3 days. The name will be updated.

I sent you a mail. Kindly reply. Thank you!

adezie:

Thank you. I have submitted my application for a new passport with change of name due to marriage. It was quite easy. I didn't have to go to Abuja and I paid #55,000 here in Lokoja. I also didn't change my name on my NIN, it was used like that bearing my maiden name and I was captured on the same day. They told me it will be out on or before six weeks.
People come from neighboring states to Lokoja to do their fresh passport or renew. They give special treatment to people that did theirs online and you are captured the same day. Just be ready to wait for the six weeks for it to be out. Three weeks for renewal. My husband spent #41000 for himself and our two kids. I paid someone and I spent the whole day before I was captured. My husband and kids were out in 2 hours cos they did theirs online. Since they give special treatment to online people, why pay them?

Candybright:


People that do theirs online have done all the work, booked appointments and come on their appointment day and time with all documents. They just enter and do capturing. For someone that hasn't done anything, the person you paid will start with filling your forms and all and you know how rowdy that place can be.
.
For name change and date change, the application can be filled online too.
Where did you do your own pls. Can I contact you?

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

How do I do a change of date of birth in my international passport? If you have any idea on the process and how long it take, please kindly share with me.

shawnmich:
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?
