Hello everyone,

Is it true that the NIS verifies peoples address during the passport process?

I was called by someone that made this claim and he asked me to specify where my residence I located.

My experience at the immigration headquarter here in Sauka, Abuja.
I left home around 9am because my appointment time was slated for 11am and I got there few minutes to 11. I went to the passport processing center and met two officers at the entrance. I told them I was there for capturing. They asked if I knew anybody there and I replied no. So he said I should wait for him to call an officer on the phone that will open a file for me. I started to think hope this is not what I'm thinking

The officer came and told me to follow him to the back of the office building. He checked all my documents and said the passport processing fee is 10k. I told him I didn't have and there was nothing like passport processing fee on their website. He now started to explain that I will collect a form and some officers will sign bla bla bla. I said I no get that the only money with me was my transport and I was told capturing was free. So he said I should go back and meet the officers at the entrance. I left him and went to stay at a place close the building to see if I could get another officer and explain my ordeal to him/her. That was how one of the officers at the entrance called me to come, was even surprised how he saw me because I wasn't staying at place he could easily see me, I guess they were scared

He asked me what the other officer said and I told them he mentioned I should drop 10k but I was told capturing was free and I was not to pay anything while I'm here. He felt guilty instantly cos his facial expression reflected that. That was when he now said I should go inside. I met a man probably in his late 50s while going in and he asked me what I was there for, told him and he called an officer to open a file for me. That was how a file was opened, the necessary signings were done, and my file was given back to me. After some minutes I was called in for capturing. Captured and was given a paper that contained when my passport would be ready. Left there around 2:15 pm
On my way back home I opened the immigration website on my browser to check if my nin had been verified, and of course they already verified it.
Total amount spent = 26k

My experience @Alausa Passport office Today 8th of November, 2023.

12:pm Appointment, I got there 11:45pm. I walked straight inside the building facing the entrance gate.

The fair lady I met when I entered the building, after checking my documents, ask me to buy brown file and rope at the gate. Got it for ₦500. Then she referred me to room 12 where another check was done and stamp. I went back to the lady and she ask me to seat where they will call me for capturing.

Not quite long, another woman came out and ask for my file and I submitted to her, the next thing I was called in and the capturing was done. A slip was printed and given to me. Collection date February 2024.

Few minutes after I left the place, I decided to track my application by entering my app num and ref num, it all showed "mark green", except for the last part, "passport issued" saying "PP pending production.

The whole thing, didn't take up to 30mins. It was sweet and simple. Pls note, it is RENEWAL

Below are the documents I went with

Online application form
Payment receipt
Nin
Data page and last page of PP
2 passport photograph
Old PP
Application letter (hand written)

Thank you all

This is part of the innefficiencies that continue to make Nigeria a significant underachiever. When they lose their jobs due to undercover operations by the police detectives or the DSS teams, they will start shedding hot tears of anguish.

AJOBI77:


I think so. I was called for address verification too when I applied . The lady visited my house for verification. No money required. Be careful not to fall victim to fraudsters.

udy4real:

kizonero:

....Good day to you, i do like to ask, when can people with alphabet O beginning their surnames get their passport at Alausa.

Every Wednesday.

When you're changing your name ,you must first of all make sure the new name is what you have on your NIN ,before going to apply for a new international passport,both agencies share database that's why the moment there is an issue with your NIN, automatically you'll have Issues processing your passport.
Apply for Change of name on international passport, certain documents are required and you have to pay an administrative charges of 35k,for NIN you have to pay 15k remitta fees for change of details on NIN and whatever additional fees the NIMC center charges you, it'll be on the high side if it's a private one but if it's a government Nimc center like the ones you can find in your local government secretariat,then the charges would be lesser although both centers can charge very high if you want it ASAP
