Please do you know if children under 18 are required to submit a copy of National Identification Number (NIN)? If so, do you have an idea of where we can get this done. Thanks

Obafemipupo:
Please how soon was your passport ready after the biometrics?

nineville:


Thanks for this information.
Do you know if they ask for BRP? Mine is likely to be with DVLA on my scheduled appointment.

comonsavar:


I am so sorry for the reply. When I did mine in March, I got my passport within 2 weeks of Biometric. But for my kids which I did in May and July I have not still gotten it. I got through to them in September and they told me one of the kids NIN has a different second name. The other 2 I removed one name when I was doing their biometrics. They said there shouldn't be a problem but till now nothing I emailed no reply. I don't live in London and I have not had time to go yet.

In conclusion, if all your data matches and your NIN is activated then you should get it within 2 weeks after appointment.

Tawak:



Is there a way to find out if NIN is activated?

Tawak:
Please how much did you pay for activation?

Emmyk:
Hi comonsavar, thanks for this thread. I'd like to know if appointment date can be changed after making payment? I got February 17th, being the closest date but I'm Name on birth certificate longer than the name on application formwondering if I can get an even closer date by constantly checking.

Brightyylove:
Please, I have a question

My current international passport which will expire around August this year bear my father's name. I.want the new international passport to bear my husband's name because I am married. Applying via the Nigeria embassy site in London, on the application form, should I put my husband's name as my own last name or should I still retain my father's name as my last name . How can I effect my husband's name on this new passport please

gabialonso:
Hi Comonsavar, I'm trying to make payment for my passport renewal with my visa card. I have attempted thrice without success. Is there a way around it please?

AbiWealth:
Thanks for the update on this group.

On my NiN my First Name and Middle name are correct but they are were used interchangeably.

On NIN, my first name was my middle name and on my passport my first name.

Will it affect the processing of the passport as I really need it?

Thanks
