Hello everyone, I have a little challenge. I want to apply for a fresh passport and I intend to use my wife as my next of kin, but I read somewhere on the portal that the name given should be same as it appears in your means of identification.

The challenge is that the surname on her National Id card is her father's but she now bears my surname. For those who had this issue, how did you go about it? Did you use your wife's name as it appears on her identity card as your next of kin?

Thank you.

If you're applying in Ikoyi or Abuja passport office, the official price is 25k + 1k transaction fee using a Visa card or N500 if it's payment through the bank due to the fact that they issue the new Enhanced Passport. Other passport offices are still using the old passport in the sum of 17k.
It is advisable to get the new enhanced passport.

I captured today at Ikoyi. It was frustrating, as they ignored people with brown files and were just attending to those that did express service, but the funny thing is, they also had to que. God was on my side today, as we were just 3 self processing applicants on a long queue of over 60+ express applicants. The officers tried ignoring us, but God came through for us. My pick up date states 12th, but I'll just wait till next week instead.

My advice: DIY, cause if you pay the 40-45k, you'll still end up staying on a queue for hours, as there are many officers bringing their own people. So why not save the extra 15k, Nigeria is hard enough these days.

Please I’m going nuts here what’s going on in NIS Ibadan since September last year till now I haven’t collected my passport. Sometimes I cry I’m fed up

Jossy4u1:


You have the right to report the officers who ignored you, they have been warned to give priority to self processing applicants, infact in my own case they treated me like a VIP and move me into the Capture Room while other express applicants were on the long queue.

Good day everyone. Pls can I pay online and pick Ibadan for my biometrics and capturing? We are family of five.. Thanks

onecoder:

Its better you pick ikoyi or alausa if self processing.
I'm yet to get my booklet after two weeks in Abeokuta.
I did it myself and the process was fast and straightforward.
Now, getting the booklet is the main issue. Although I've reported to the PRO and they promised to get back to me.

I swear NIN ruined my NIS experience today.. I went to Ikoyi and was treated fine.. I only had a bit of delay during time for capture that was when NIN came with DOB error.. Now I can't get my passport until I pay NIN for correction of DOB that I'm 100% sure that I put the right date. They dey are using that to make people pay extra coz the people today for correction in date of birth was shocking..

ATPx:


Hello I also have the same problem, could you please elaborate on how to correct the DOB on the NIN?

Jossy4u1:


Please note that next of kin means of identification is not required; you are at liberty to fill any name you like. You should however state your relationship with your next of kin in the form.

I want to renew my passport...hope I can self process it?
...and do you think I can get it by this month end?

mightymuy:
God bless you all that have contributed in this room. I gathered all the information needed for DIY here and did my capturing in Osogbo immigration office last month, but right now all what they are saying is there is no booklet, but I needed the passport as Soon as possible, and when I requested for my enrollment id in-order to use it for checking up and complain from appropriate channels , I was told by them that they don't issue it anymore. Please how true is this? Also can I make use of my application id, ref no, or validation no in replacement of the enrollment id to do follow-up?

Jossy4u1:


Sure you can as long as the renewal is done in Ikoyi or Abuja, where they have the booklet of enhanced passport. I do hope you have got your NIN?

delight71:
God day good people.
We are family of 5, 1 renew and 4 fresh..do we all need to get State of origin certificate and guarantor's forms for DIY. Thanks .

Jossy4u1:


Sure, you can use your Application ID and Reference No. to follow up and don't forget to tweet at them on @nigimmigration

Amedak:

Cyrilade01:

Then who knows the process of getting ba new national ID card cos I heard d process is quite different.
Thanks

Got to NIMC.. Pay the reprint charge and have your card printed for you

Jossy4u1:
Assuming one of the parent is a guarantor, you do not require the State of Origin Certificate for the children, but since the whole family is going for renewal/fresh passport, then y'all need the Certificate.
