Hello, pls can you explain a bit on the guarantor's form.

Here is my experience as a DIY applicant at Ibadan Office of NIS.


Good afternoon to you all. Its a lengthy one but if you take your time, you will find it worthy especially those that wants to do DIY.

I took my time to reactivate my nairaland accout, follow this thread information and learn from experiences
My appointment request date was in first week of October after making payments Online.
25k application fee + 1k Bank charge
For my Appointment day, all October and November has been taken. 8th and 9th of December was free. I opted for 9th Because appointment time on the 8th seems unrealistic.

While i wait for December to come to me� i was gathering all documents. I must say that GUARANTOR FORM was another headache because all the unnecessary information that i felt are not required for the application. I mean(why ask for my assets, banker's details, where and purpose of traveling). My colleague was a good brain and she assisted.
I rechecked and rechecked to confirm that my name are well spelt, date of birth correct. I incurred some cost during this period. (parents should let their children know the names on their important documents and so that they can continue with same format).

Before we continue again. Quick tips
*Have 26500 in a working account
*Apply onwww.passport.immigration.gov.ng and registered within 30mins.
*Pay immediately
*Book your appointment date (where you will be and availability of docs is important)
*when u pray, pray to meet a God fearing officer.
*make copies of Online applications form, Payment receipt documents. (5copies max.)
*Plain A4 paper (come with spare)
*stipend for other photocopy that will arise (#50 per copy) and snacks to pass time.

So i took an advise from one of the thread. Not to seat back till my appointment date. I choose to go to the venue on 8th of Dec. Instead of 9th Dec (my appointment date)
Early on the 8th of Dec. got to the office around 8am i saw crowd seated under the Pavillion close to the gate. Well i forgot that we are all for different reasons. There is a public address system used to address people seated and assuring us all that we will be attended to.
I sat for a while to spy on this thread again. I look around to see who cluld be kind enough to be used by God to help me�. I saw a man standing firmly, i met him, greeted him, then told him that i came for capturing, i applied online. Didnt wait for him to ask me who was assisting me.
He led me to the next office, gave him my docs. And he said why are you just coming you applied since Oct. I said my appointment wasnt due yet and the information stated that i should come to the center on my appointment date.

He passed my file to another to arrange. Am not sure what stage i was in. A thread mentioned that
Online application have several stages which includes:"
i. Documents arrangements
ii. Account checking
iii. Verification
iv. Interview
v. Capturing

I misplaced one of my passports ��. I had to snap another 8copies for 1k.
He finally collected and i was ask to sign i a register, then go back to the pavilion to wait.

I started waiting around 10am. Around 11:30am, i met some officers to ask when i will be called, because i was told to wait. I was told to keep waiting. Around 12pm, i met another officer whom i met in one ot the offices i entered, she came to call some names(brown files only) i explained that i have been waiting she said i should come on my appointment date directly to her office.

DAY 2
I resumed early today around 8:15am.
Sat waiting for their resumption.
The Public address system is out announcing the whole stages before capturing.
Special announcements :they are working on saturday(between 10-2pm)
Online payments(DIY) will be attended to too.
I met the officer who told me to come today, gave me my file, took it to Account and i was told to come in 30mins later.
After 30mins i went back to the office, i had to do small talk on Christmas gift.i collected my file again and took it to the verification office. To go wait under the shed (Pavillion).
I can't believe this is really happening, its past 2pm, i haven't been attended to. All officers i met during this process, i have asked what happened to my file. The guys who we went in for interview together have captured and left. The last officer i met said i should wait for God's time. �.
The bread and tea i ate for breakfast has been spent on anticipation to hear my name been called for capturing. �. But someone has mentioned earlier than DIY is not for the faint-hearted.
Around 4pm� after so many just go and wait, i was called�.

Tips for Capturing room
* No white tops or shirts
* No dropping earrings and Necklace
* Pack your Hair neatly.
Well, just few minute after the photograph, the generator went off (fuel exhausted for the day). All others well told to come on saturday. I submitted the slip i was given to make photocopy.


Will let you know when i go for collection but till then, you can do it yourself too. �

Finally collected my Passport at Alausa. Captured August, It was due since October but didn't had time to keep checking. Only checked once in September. Didn't pay a naira extra apart from the 25k. They didn't ask me for money either, i just grab my passport, sign, thumbprint and log out. Completely DIY, Only attempt this if you have time like me sha. I knew i wouldn't need it anytime soon.

Make sure you come with all the right documents including NPC birth certificate and your NIN match. I had issues with my NIN so i couldn't captured that day. I captured the next week after i have corrected my name in my NIN.
