Hi everyone, I'm yet to get a date for capturing since I made payment online . It's been over a week. Do I have to submit my application form, at there office, before I can get an invite for capturing or I have to continue wait for the sms?

yes you have to submit it at the servicon office, the invite is usually done in a day or two for capturing

Thanks for your prompt response.

I don't think i have to pay online, no one have mentioned that to me, we are going with NIN slip (maiden name) and all documents for proof of name change.

Going on thursday.

I was at the Ikoyi passport office today, and the requirement for the modification of name are the following:
1. marriage certificate
2. newspaper publication
3. change of name affidavit
4. receipt of payment for name change on NIN.
* for number 4 above, you either pay online totaling like 670-700 or you pay 1000 at the people at the desk, and trust me, those people in charge of this thing take money like water. in my presence, a woman paid 5000 just for registration and they even ask her to come back tomorrow.
i am also going back tomorrow for my modification, i got there quite late today, number shared for people doing NIMC has finished before i got there.

let me snap mine for you.

You have to submit your application with all required documents at their office. If you get there early enough with complete documents, you could be captured same day.

Can someone confirm if NIMC at Ikeja or Ikoyi has started work??

Thanks zell

paragon40:
Thanks zell

But I must tell you, its not as straightforward as that. You have to practically outsmart them with sweet talks or you'll have to come back another day for something that won't take 15mins. I witnessed a guy that speed-ran documents submission to capturing in less than 30mins. Didn't wait for SMS for capturing. I was impressed.

His advice: 7am is 7am

Ikoyi passport office NIMC have started working can't say of ikeja

Thanks for the update

I am at Ikoyi passport office right now. Only those who want to apply to passport are allowed in. If you tell them you want to get your national ID card, they will tell you to go to another NIMC branch.


Meaning that they will allow you do your NIN if only you apply for you passport directly from them.

Still trying to find my way aha. I prefer getting the NIN and then apply for the passport online, rather using any agent

zevous:

Ikeja has started

oludaremy:


Yes it the right link. For the e-passport its 25k and only available at Ikoyi Office. If you choose any other location you will get the one of 17k

Which one is e-passport

For some of you who need the NIN number to apply for the international passport online, you can get it there on your phone so far you have your BVN. Follow the steps enumerated below:

Dial *346# ( it costs just 20 naira), it will give you your NIN. NOTE : Only use number registered with your BVN

After dialing the code and you receive DND issues, follow the step below to remove it and dial the code above again.

Text START to 2442 on your ETISALAT number that has stopped receiving Bulk SMS.

Text ALLOW to 2442 on your MTN number that has stopped receiving Bulk SMS.

Text CANCEL to 2442 on your GLO number that has stopped receiving Bulk SMS.

Text ALLOW to 2442 on your AIRTEL number that has stopped receiving Bulk SMS.

It has been discovered that MTN and AIRTEL networks have imposed DND without subscribers’ consent but you can still confirm by texting STATUS to 2442.

When you go to the passport office with your complete documents, proceed to the servicom section , they will check your documents, arrange them and put them in an NIS branded brown file.

The file is an official file especially for those that are self processing. Others have a white file.

It is online. Just google search, u will be asked to input your reference no, validation and application number to gain access to d forms

Please help,
Since January 6th I did capturing in ILORIN, my passport is still yet to be out. They always give flimsy excuse that it is because of covid 19 and no booklet...

If you hear under sun and in the rain.
I was not able to get into passport office yesterday, because the nimc centre said they are attending to passport related issues, even though mine was passport related as well, numbers were given out to people 1-50, and we later discovered those people paid. after getting enough beating from the rain I left.

please whoever is going to ikeja should please update us on how things are there.

Davny:
i paid online, paid 25k for 5 years

Good morning Boss,

Please what payment operator/method did you use.

Thanks

Hello Dammy,

Do you know how long it takes for the sms to drop after document submission?

I submitted mine today and I was asked to wait for the 'almighty' SMS

dammygoody:

Yes, enrollment is going on at Ikoyi office.

You don't have to wait for SMS before paying online, pay whenever you are ready.
But you do have to wait for SMS to go for capturing after you enroll.
