I've heard many people say it took them months to get their renewed passports. So, I'm curious—how long did it take for you to get yours? Share your experience!

I applied for my renewal last year 2024 for 10year passport. All process done and payment of 70k done online. Everything from the comfort of my laptop at home. Printed out and taken to immigration office at the headquarter(Abuja)..I GOT MY PASSPORT IN 24hour…I don’t know anybody in advance. I just drove in, and park at the parking lots, proceed straight under a canopy shed in front of the capture and get my number to capture. That’s all….please don’t ask me how I did it.

Two weeks ago, I attempted to renew my international passport using the Nigeria Immigration Service's DIY (self-service) platform. Unfortunately, the system couldn't capture my passport photograph for some reason.

A few days later, I decided to visit the immigration office in Jos to complete the process in person. To my surprise, I was told that the 32-page, 5-year passport would cost ₦75,000, even though I was aware that the official fee online is ₦50,000.

Frustrated, I returned home. Fortunately, I later managed to successfully upload my passport photograph on the DIY platform, and the system processed my application. I paid ₦50,500 online and was scheduled for biometric capture on February 3rd.

On the scheduled date, I went to the immigration office, where I was attended to promptly. However, I was asked to pay an additional ₦3,000 for processing, which I did.

To my surprise, I received a call today, February 12th, to pick up my new passport—just 9 days after my capture!

Please where did you do your capturing? I am looking for someone who has done in Lagos.

Also, how long did yours take from when you initiated the process online by yourself, to capturing, and to collection of passport? Finally, what website did you use?

Grateful for your response

I didn't do my capturing in Lagos.

I booked for capturing in a week or so.
Getting the passport took a month plus.

Yours might not take that long.

That was FAST!

Tunji-Ojo seems to be the only one working in this DEMONIC administration.

Didn't know the orocess has become more EFFICIENT.

By the way, the 50% increase in price for in-person processing is PROOF that Nigerians would readily SABOTAGE viable systems because of their unquenchable GREED.

The average Nigerian is so WICKED and GREEDY that their constant complaints about wicked and greedy Politicians is LAUGHABLE.

There are others doing well too like Festus Keyamo and Nyesom Wike even though a lot of people don't like him but you must give him his flowers

I received my passport 1month after Biometrics at Warri Office.They called me thrice to pick up my passport.I must commend the Minister of Interior and the immigration officers for doing a great job.

That passport upload its the toughest part in DIY, from my observation ,a good camera phone and positioning of both camera and the individual matters a lot.
