I'm planning on starting my registration process next week or 2 weeks now and I want to do it in Ilorin. I want to go through the site, I've been told Ilorin office is DIY friendly. I want to know how long it'll take me to get it if I start the application process this month.

Perhaps you will get it in March.

I had a very impressive experience at Oyo town passport office yesterday. Was there to renew my wife and children's expired passports. It's DIY friendly.

Got there with my family by 8.55am. By 9.10am, officer A. A. Popoola addressed all of us seated under the shed provided. He told us about how efficient they are and that the only thing that can hinder an applicant from capturing that same day is NIN.

Few minutes later, officer M. Kasumu came out to call online applicants (DIY) to see him. I met him with all required documents, which he arranged properly for me, asked that I get yellow files for each of my family members, which I did, after which he placed each documents in each file for them all and asked me to wait under the shed.

Ten minutes later, he came out to call my family and I to come for capturing. We were led into the capturing room, where my wife and children were attended to by officer Lawson and his team. They were very fast here.

I took my time to relate with all the officers that I mentioned their names, they were very friendly and did their job very well. I was told their passports would be ready within the next 3 weeks.

No one asked for a dime from me. It took us just 50 minutes to complete all the process there. Their level of professionalism amazed me. Their Oga patapata is a male and his second in command a female.

Those who came to collect their passports yesterday, where promptly attended to within minutes.

I rate them 10/10 with what I experienced there yesterday.

Thank you for this..I actually plan going there too but my brothers experience is quite different from this though.

Yes fast and quite easy but they demanded money from him o..He applied and paid online too..he said he parted with about extra #12k there..Maybe they have changed now..that was some few months ago

No one asked me for a kobo. I saw it in the officer's body language yesterday that they were very careful with applicants.

Please how many guarantor do I need for new applicant.
Must they have asset or declare assets?

Noted. Thanks

Good morning

I intend going to Festac office today to check if my passport is out, I've been tracking it online and I keep getting "Production is in progress" so I want to go there today and check cos I learnt that the online tracker is not reliable.. I captured on 5th May 2023 which is exactly 8 months now.

My question is, does anyone have any idea if passport collection is done everyday as in Monday to Friday. I wouldn't want to go there now and they tell me "Mondays is not for passport collection" Lol
This is just to avoid waste of time and transport fare.

Festac office specifically, any idea please?

Who else noticed that the immigration website is temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance?

The have increased 32 pages for 5 yrs to N35,000 now on the updated Portal

Almost certain your passport is out. 8 months is a long time, as long as there wasn't a challenge with production it should be out.

And yes! My passport is out, issued on Oct 11 2023.

I just collected it and it's strictly DIY.
So when I got there and gave them my slip, the officer wrote PNA (Passport Not Activated) on my slip and asked me to go meet a particular lady at the issuance department... So she helped me bring out my passport, I registered it and that's it.
So I gave the kind lady 1k for lunch just to show gratitude ☺️

In all, it didn't take up to 40mins..

On my way home now 😁 Thanks guys! 🤗

ekitimanalways:

The passport tracker is unreliable. Go back to Festac Passport Office to collect your passport. You captured since 5th May 2023! It must have been produced.

Thank you for this response.. this comment actually made me go to their office today cos I've been tracking it online.

God bless!

I heard a new policy is in place, can someone tell me how this new policy works.

Yes new policy is out , first you will need to verify your NIN , if info are correct it will bring out your NIN details , then you proceed to pick state and where you will be captured , also fee is now #35k , next page is to upload your passport photograph, then your details, and lastly your documents.

Presently am battling with the passport photograph

So those (DIY) who paid before now enjoyed the old price of #25000

From the information I got, I learnt they will reduce the years on passport to 3 years and fees increased. I'm not that sure if this information is real or not but I can only suggest to anyone interested in applying for passport should do so fast...

On the 4th, I made mention of the increments and the reduction of years...

I believe they are just coming up, let's be expecting more surprises

Please what lists of documents are required for a new applicant
