Luchicruz:
I did capturing at Ikoyi passport office since December 1st.

Only for one of the workers to say its still not ready since 3 months and I should bring 25k if I want to fast track.

Please how true is this and which month are they currently producing.

Good evening all. Please I have a serious issue here. So, I went for my capturing unknowingly the date which wasn't my appointment date. My documents got approved but I wasn't able to capture when I got to the capturing room. My file was withheld and I was asked to come back on my appointment date.
So, I don't know if I would be told to start afresh, like reprinting and refilling my guarantor's form. Please who has had this issue should put me through. Thank you. I really don't want to start afresh.

Ask to see the PCO

I suspect that your passport has been produced. Go to the Servicom office to find out. You don't need to pay any money for fast tracking

No, you won't be filling the forms again. Just go on your appointment date, and you'll be captured.

Pls who knows the current amount of renewing passport? 32 pages

Life update:

Finally picked up my passport yesterday evening at the Alausa office. I got there at 12 noon and left just before 5pm.

Here are my observations:

1. If you plan to go for collection at the Alausa office, go according to the collection days indicated here on the thread. Your letter should correspond with the right day of the week

2. If you are DIY don't bother going very early. You can plan to get there between noon and 1pm. They scheme their practices to attend to their "special applicants" and arrangee applications earlier in the day. If you go too early you will waste the entire day waiting.

Prepare food and drinks for the wait o.

They make it a point to attend to DIY later in the day. It's not a set in stone rule but this is what I observed

3. If you captured in January 2023, wait till April 2023 if you're DIY

4. You can collect on behalf of someone provided there is a familiar relationship. If you can talk your way out of paying anything pls do but if you feel offended you can find the PCOs office to lodge a complaint

More importantly be confident that you can DIY this process. You don't need to pay anyone higher than the normal charges. You're just funding someone's flex life. Like I've said earlier, if you're not ready to part with about 150k for express then don't pay anything other than 26k for your passport. Both I who did DIY and people who paid 20k more than normal charges we all waited hours in line to collect. There was no special attention. This special assistance is reserved for VIPs (people who pay way way more) now.

In order to do DIY just arm yourself with proper information; it's all here on this thread. Search, ask questions and learn. I got all I needed in this thread. Then play the waiting game of 3 months for collection. It may be less depending on some circumstances but be prepared to wait that long. If you're in a big hurry then be ready to shell out big. Anything lower than 100k will make you wait as long as I did; don't let anyone tell you lies.

Happy applications everyone!

DealMogul:
Hi guys. I've read through a lot of the replies here and gathered enough information to start this application myself as #teamDIY at the Alausa passport office. Let me add that I did my application myself and paid online, printed out all reqd docs and completed the necessary guarantor forms, court stamps and photocopies requested. If you're #TeamDIY the printed appointment slip will guide you accordingly.

First of, the information on Alausa office here needs updating; the processes have changed at the station. Please take note below:

1. If you are #TeamDIY don't bother going to open a file BEFORE your appointment date. You may be turned back or outrightly rejected. The officers will check your slip; don't try to outwit them

2. Got here around 6.30am and waited to be let in. After filing some attendance book at the security gate I was given a tally containing a number for the capturing queue

3. Every fresh applicant was ushered into the reception to be attended to by officers on a table seated on the right of the entrance. Copies of docs as well as originals checked, I was requested to purchase a white file outside and the file was filled with my docs. They filled my details in a register and I was instructed to proceed to Room 12 ( Servicom room) where my file was inspected, questions about my guarantor asked and my docs were signed off ready for further inspection

4. I exited this room and returned the file to the first inspection table for onward transmission to another room (Unknown). Here they inspected the files again and confirmed all was accurate and ready. I think this office is where the NIN is confirmed and that all details are intact

5. I went to wait in the waiting room until my name was called up to receive my file after returning the tally I was given. The next is another long wait for the actual biometrics capture.

6. My turn came to capture after several nodding and napping and lots of "the network is down". Finally had my biometrics done around 4.35pm and got my enrollment slip for passport collection

So the process has changed. Forget all you know about Alausa. Go ahead and #DIY! A guy paid some officer 95k and sat beside my to wait for capturing after getting here before 9am. If you're not ready to shell out over 180k for the so-called express service, don't listen to anyone and do it yourself

Cheers all

Your file has probably been passed back to another office for reassessment before capturing. Go on your fixed capture date and fill appointment register as normal. When you get there go straight to the Information desk or SERVICOM desk and explain your case. They will put you through how to get captured

For some reasons I missed my appointment date. Can I go on a later date without rescheduling?

Good morning all. How long does change of name take? I applied for a change of name on my passport and captured on the 5th of January. I really need the passport to be ready soon but I have been hearing that change of name takes 5-6 months. Pls who here is/was in my shoes and what can be done in this situation? Thanks

I was at Alausa from 8am-3pm yesterday.

For the third time, they came back with my slip saying it was not ready. I no gree o, I went to PCO office and she was amazed that I haven't gotten my passport given the date I captured (Dec 13).

She ordered they look for it, they couldn't find it and they checked the system. I was sha told that it had been produced but there was a technical issue on it so they had to send it to Abuja for correction and I should come.back for it next week.

I told them I wouldn't be able to come on Monday which my name falls on cos or work and they agreed that I come straight to the PCO office and not wait in line whenever I come next week.

A friend that captured Dec 1, his file was nowhere to be found. PCO gave them 24hrs to search for his file and print his passport or face disciplinary action.

She sha begged the guy to come back today. My guy said he'll give them till Thursday.

Alausa PCO is a cool and straightforward woman.

I’m going for my capturing at Alausa tomorrow,i hope it will be as straightforward as described here and i will come back with testimony.
