it’s been 6 days since I captured and I still can’t track my application online. Went there and the officers told me to chill for a while, that renewal usually takes time before it gets uploaded @ Abeokuta. Has anyone had this same experience before? Thanks |

I feel like i should share my experience at the Ikoyi Passport office to help others 8th of November was my capturing date, but before then i had gone through this thread to get the necessary information required to have a seamless capturing as a DIY. Back Story: I have never had the original of my NPC birth certificate. always used a photocopy when required. (infact, i didnt even know that what i do present as orginal was a photocopy until an organization i went for an interview recently mentioned it). I researched on how to get another NPC certificate but it was too late to start processing one so i got an age declaration instead and hoped that it works after asking few questions here. I came into lagos, went home to pick my original NIN slip and could not find it also. I came to this thread to inquire on what to do and i got responses. So i took other documents required, and headed straight to Ikoyi Passport Office on Tuesday 8th. I got there around 7:59, signed in and headed straight to servicom. (Let me note that the only original documents i had with me was my letter from state of origin. ![]() Few minutes after sitting, an officer came to collect our Appointment slip. I asked him if he was going to return it cos i had just that one copy and he said yes. so he took for everyone waiting and went back inside. The waiting began. I saw people entering the office inside and coming out. No activity was hapening outside. I went inside and asked someone why they were standing and what is happening inside, her response was not straightforward. i went back outside to sit down. i remembered that i was yet to get a photocopy of my letter from state of orgin, age declaration and another copy of my NIN slip. so i stepped outside to get it and that was when i realized that i left my age declaration at home ![]() I was beginning to contemplate how to get another appointment slip when another officer came out with slips and starting calling names for people to queue up. He called the first ten, they queued and he checked their docs, put them in a brown file and directed them to long room. while he called the first ten, people he did not call started queuing at the back of those he called with their appointment slip in hands. See me without another appointment slip nah, i was looking lost ![]() Now, at that stage, i was wondering why everyone was given a brown file and why they were not asking "who is doing for you"cos all the stories i read here, people have commented on how they use seperate files for DIY and express people. Anyway it got to my turn, the dispatch rider was yet to get to passport office with my age declaration so i submitted the photocopy of my NPC. It was filed and i left with two other guys i initiated conversations with while waiting. We got to long room and was directed straight into the office. An officer stood up, collected our files and asked us to go back out and have a seat. Not long after, he started calling names. After the first guy went in and came out, i asked him why he was called and he said the officer asked for his orginals, he gave it to him and came right out. At this point, i started fidgeting. it was past 10 and i called the diaspatch rider who told me he was close by. The officer came out, called my name and i went inside. While inside, he asked me for my originals. i quietly brought out my photocopy of my NPC birth cert, photocopy of my NIN and letter from state of origin. He was like "is that all?, bring out the rest" and i asked which other one sir? that's all i have. He asked where the original of my birth cert is and i told him i misplaced it. Then he gave me back my file and asked me to go and get the original. I asked him from where? and he just said PLEASE BACK TO SERVICOM TO DROP YOUR FILE, THEN GO AND GET YOUR ORIGINAL FROM NPC. then i started telling him that i have Age declaration and he said it's NPC he wants. Then i told him that i saw age declaration as part of the documents pasted at servicom and pestered that i have age declaration. Then he asked how old i am. when i responded, he told me i am below the age and cannot accept it. he shushed me out of me office and told me to return my file back to servicom. I walked back to servicom devastated and decided to just wait for the dispatch rider to come so i can get the age declaration and head home. while at servicom, i was wondering where and who i will give the file back to. The officers there were still attending to people and just did not have my time. so i sat and waited. Soon, the dispatch rider came after past 11am. i rushed to make a photocopy of the age declaration and one mind told me to go back to long room to try my luck. i got there, stood at the door of the office and started beckoning on the officer to come take a look at my age declaration. This man came, look at it and told me he cannot accept it. Apparently, he started speaking in yoruba to his colleague that i ran outside to quickly do age declaration from those cyber cafe people and that infact, i cannot be trusted that all my documents are fake. I quickly picked it up and started saying that i did not do it at the cyber cafe and that i got it at the high court. i also started showing him the receipts and one other thing the court attached to the age declaration incase of verification. while i was trying to defend myself, tears were already filling my eyes ![]() He took it and gave it to the next officer to sign. I thought it was all over but this next officer started questioning my letter from state of origin. said it does not look like what others are bringing. asked me where i got it from, when i got it, i answered all the questions. after answering, uncle was still shaking head saying he cannot accept it. I asked him what the issue was and what exactly he was looking out for in the letter because it was that same type of letter my siblings used for theirs. Then the officer asked me where i worked and what i do and i told him that i am jobless but i bake cakes ![]() ![]() Now this woman was the thorough and straight forward amongst them. She openly told me that the age declaration is not acceptable and asked why i don't have the NPC. I told her that i do, but others have refused to accept it saying it's not orginal. She asked me to give it to her which i did. After looking at it, she asked if i have another copy of it and i told her that it was already in my file. She opened the file to search for it, found it, signed and then directed me to the officer holding the stamp for her to stamp. After all these, i headed straight to the capturing room. The officer i met at the door directed me to a room where others were waiting to be captured and said they will come out to get my file from me there. Went straight to the room and saw the multitude also waiting to be captured. I looked around and confirmed that i'm not the only one there waiting with my file, searched for a seat and then the real waiting began. While i was waiting, some officers will come in and call their candidate they are helping. The officer in charge of collecting files and calling names came out twice to call names but did not collect files. finally around past 2pm, the officer came out to collect those still holding their files. When my files was collected, i was relieved cos what it meant was that no matter what, i must capture that day. Not long after, i saw the two guys i started the process with at servicom leaving. Apparently, they were done (also DIYs). My name was not called until few minutes to 5. This was after several announcements that their network has been shitty and we even got apologies for the delay. I entered the office together with other people and we sat accordingly. Then we submitted out files to the officers. While one was inputting the details, the other was handling the biometics and photo. asides network that hindered the delay in there, it was a seamless process. I captured, collected my file and went back to submit at servicom around 5;53. I only spent 150naira at passport office and that was for my photocopies. Set aside the issues i faced which was brought upon by myself (not holding my original documents), i would say that my DIY process was smooth. Never was i asked "who is doing it for you" (cos i was expecting it based on the stories here), or asked to bring money for anything, or was asked to go back or whatever because no-one was doing it for me. So as a DIY, i would advise you go really early, with your originals and complete documents. You might not be as lucky as i was with my tears and begging ![]() If you do not have patience and you don't like stress, DIY is not for you at all. Also some people are not even aware that this process can be done by themselves. While waiting, the lady beside me was shocked when i told her that i was doing this passport by myself. I'm sorry for the long read.. 29 Likes 1 Share |

If you can, go a day before to open file. If you can't, open file on your day of capturing. Sagamu center is well organized and not too crowdy. 2 times I was there, they finished capturing everybody before 3pm. If you have your documents complete, you will capture. Make 3 photocopies of your payment slip. As soon as you get there, go to the cafes and buy brown file if it is fresh passport. Collect number for capturing. The servicom is very helpful. Ask questions. Go with original documents and photocopies. jideflash: 1 Like 1 Share |

lilachiever:Age declaration is accepted for 1992 and above from 1993-2000s , the accepted is NPC you can visit the NPC office in surulere to get a new one if you fall under 93-2000s (it's less than 2500 and i think it will take about 2 weeks to do, you can give them extra money to fast track it) i hear they give attestation now instead of the certificate. i believe it will still suffice. Goodluck! |

Omo, to get a passport in Nigeria is a thug if war all over Nigeria. The long waiting during filling of the form and cross examining documents is no joke. You need to have a good waist, if not, your waist will cake if have no chair to sit. Thank God, my capturing date is first week of next month. I don't want to go through that stress I went through any time soon. So, I went for the 10yrs passport. At least before I will renew that, we should be looking at 2032. 1 Like |
