Ok bro. Kindly share contact. I read in your earlier post that you got a capture date available a day after you applied online sef just that you only took your time till today. Howch is the official price for niger state?
HELLASJ:

I did it myself and I didn't pay for express as I'm not urgently in need. But if you're ready I can Link you up with someone and you'll get in days but it'll cost you more

How soon do you think one can get passport urgently processed and collected in Minna? I need the passport in days so I like you to help with information. Also after applying and paying online, what's the closest date you got for capture appointment?
If I get a good response, I might consider going there
Minna is very free, the day I applied the following day was free for booking appointment.

If you want to get it in days, you'll have to pay extra for urgent service.

It's better you know someone before going so that everything will be finalized, you just go, capture and wait for your passport at agreed date/day

Has anyone got passport in port Harcourt office ?
My biometric is getting closer and today I called an immigration officer to ask if I need to open a file before capturing date, he said yes that I need to go there a week to my capturing date, at the time he was querying why I did it online that I will still have to pay when I get there. I told him that immigration head quarter stated we shouldn't pay extra fee outside the official price and we should report any officer that want to extort us at the passport office through their email and phone number smiley the guy laugh and said they should come and do my biometric for me then.
Anyway next week I will be at the office to open a file with my spy camera to capture any corrupt officer, i no dey give Shi Shi smiley smiley

You're lucky o. I'm currently doing Mine(DIY) in port Harcourt, I can't even begin to speak about the manner of extortions I've been subjected to.

From paying #8500 for modification which I had no choice but to pay since I had a week to my capture date, I went to nimc office in pH but told me I'll pay 10k if I need it in a week, or wait 5 or 6 weeks if I'm not fast tracking it.
I paid 3k for national population certificate
Paid 1k for file arrangement.

Upon submission of file, the lady officer I met collected 5k from me. My capture date is next week Tuesday, I just hope I'm not in for more surprises

My dear brace yourself o, PH passport office from my observations operates like a cartel o.
I'm equally applying from there, I've already paid 5k for file submission, once you tell them it's DIY, they become hostile towards you.

Update on my DIY
Visited Immigration office PH On 13th October to submit my file and get it ready before my capturing date next day as directed. All I saw nothing but corruption.

Getting there Officer directed me to go arrange my file at business center next building. Reaching there the guy told me to pay 1k for the file arrangement , I ask him what kind of arrangement ? He said ; Just to put my documents inside the file and give it back to me to return to immigration office, I said okay let me buy the file and do the arrangement myself he refused, I asked him to show me the file he arranged for others, he obliged I scan through it to observe how he arranged it, since I came with all required documents, I move across bought file 50 Naira arrange my documents head back to immigration office, I was directed to savicon office, reaching there I was ask if I did online I responded is there anyone they do offline smiley I saw unfriendly expression on his face he ask me to wait for his colleague (PRO) he is in charge of file submission. Meanwhile I told myself I must submit this file today and I will not pay Shi Shi.
I grab seat and waited for the PRO, when he arrived he checked my file every thing was in Oder he asked me to pay 5k I responded what for he said logistics, I responded ; I don’t have 5k and I did not see anywhere on the immigration website that required me paying additional 5k to submit file
After arguments he directed me to meet PA to controller I moved to the controller office, I approached her and laid my complaint she directed me to another office, getting to the office she directed it happens that the woman is in charge of the Savicon unit and friendly person, she said she will advised I pay the 5k as PRO ask for, I said okay they should give me account number to transfer the money I don’t have cash, she said it must be cash at hand, I know they want to avoid implications as if they know what I plan to do after payment.
What I discovered is that all the top officials in immigration office share from the money they collect from applicant. However, I paid the money to avoid my file been thrown inside dust bin and captured the next day going back next week to check if is ready because they gave me 3 weeks for collection
smiley smiley
I have laid my complaint on their twitter how they extort DIY applicant in immigration office , they collect 8k - 10k for fresh applicant and 5k for renewal if on DIY

Wow! This is serious.

You've gone through alot but you should have stood your ground. They'll tell you all manners of lies just to get into your pocket.

Good luck in capturing but don't pay anyone anymore please. Be confident and behave like a government official, they'll be afraid to ask for anything.

That's how I did mine.

Don't forget to gist us how it went, okay?


Good luck with your capturing.

5k? Wow! I didn't a pay a dime. When they asked me I told them to give a minute to make a call(fake call grin) when I came back, told them that the person I spoke with said there's nothing like that. They asked me where I came from, I told them that Abuja. They paused for minutes, then the officer ordered his boys to take my file to another office.

Na so I Waka from one office to another but still captured without paying a dime.

Sometimes you need to fake somethings to get your way. grin grin

Letter of ID LGA/state is your "State of Origin" you collected from your local government secretariat.
