MiracleMe7:

Pls, I want u to guide me. Am in Abuja and I want to renew my passport. Pls can u tell me the process u took? Thank u

Sorry I wasn't around here.

It is a very easy process. Although they will try to make things difficult for you.

Pls kindly ask your questions

MiracleMe7:

Pls, I want u to guide me. Am in Abuja and I want to renew my passport. Pls can u tell me the process u took? Thank u

Firstly, go online and do your registration. Make sure you select Abuja headquarters as the issuing centre.

Secondly, print it out after your online payment

Write an application for renewal of your passport. Address it to the comptroller general of immigration

Go to the Joseph... Glass House

Ask for where you can submit your acknowledgement receipt

Submit and payment will be verified
Ask for where you can stamp your application letter. It is actually upstairs in the same glass house

Stamp and come downstairs and go straight to the capturing house. It is just before the glass house by your right hand side from the gate.

Go in together with your old passport.

They will give you a number. When u enter, kindly ask anyone where you will submit the application letter, acknowledgement slip etc.

They will try to frustrate u from the gate but persist in doing it along but do so politely.

From the gate, they will be asking them if you have anyone who is doing it for you. You can answer yes, so that they won't be wasting your time.

If they ask you for name, kindly say officer Ngozi for instance.

The most difficult place is the capturing side but be patient. You will pull through.

I advice you dress cooperately to attract maximum respect.

Sorry if there are typo errors.

Good luck

Hello bro please where did you do yours??

You allowed it.

I got my own passport on 2nd. I did it on 26th in Abuja

MiracleMe7:

I also sent u email. Pls reply me

Pls I saw only one email from Miracle

XRJP:


Yeah

Just find your way to the servicom office there. Make sure you go with all the required documents; photocopies and originals, cos that seem to be the major cause of hindrance faced by most people who have had problem(s) plying the DIY route.

Be determined to pay no extra amount to any officer, don't be afraid to politely question/challenge any officer who requests that you pay for services he's employed to deliver and lastly don't look for shortcuts.

Do these and you'd be fine.

X up man
Saw your mail
How can I help you??

Just leaving the Ikoyi Passport Office. Paid on Saturday morning. I got there as early as 0720hrs but waited at the gate till we were called in at about 0800hrs. Instead of going to the long room as directed, I made way to the SERVICOM office (on my right). The yeye Officer I first met, Adelakun by name (popularly called Babalawo) checked my printed documents, asked who was helping me and where is my file. I said I'm DIY and knows no one, he asked me to come back for capturing on the 20th (capture date on my Form). I don't even know what to tell him despite telling him i received a Text msg to come. I wasn't discouraged and so I decided to go back to the Long room.

I sat there with many others with files thinking of what next to do then I sighted a high-ranking Oga like that (God bless Mr. Akpan for me). I approached him and sha began stories on how I didn't know anyone here and had to go online to DIY. He asked to see my form and after checking it out told me to go to SERVICOM. I told him my last encounter and how one officer asked me to come on 20th. He said I should go back and ask of the C.O Servicom (I don't know what the C.O stands for). I sha went and this time I met the young and Famous Officer Adamu (mentioned earlier by some people here). He looks willing to attend to me but since I mentioned to see the C.O Servicom, he directed me there and the C.O (Mr. Dipo or so) just checked my already printed documents and took me (together with a cool DIY dude I met there) to go meet Officer Adamu. Now, my confidence is doubled. Adamu checked and arranged our documents gave us a form to photocopy and fill. We did as advised and returned to him. He opened a file for us, signed and directed us where and where to go.

I captured and left at exactly 1020hrs. Officer Dipo asked us to check by Friday Morning for collection.

Conclusion, this DIY route is seemless and highly advisable. I'm glad I passed thru this route. All thanks to the earlier contributors.

NB. Dont forget to run if u see Officer Adelakun. Lol

I quoted this so I can reference when I go for mine

SKhanmi:


Lol, Oshogbo has never been DUI friendly, this your connect even gave you cheaper at 30k, the last time I enquired it was 35k. Lagos is still the best option

Once again I'd like to advise all of us especially those that aren't too busy to trying going through the process themselves and avoid all those bribes. If we keep doing it ourselves, they will stop looking for bribes.

I did mine in Abj with minor skirmishes in terms of frustration from the officers and it came through on 2nd. It took a total of about 10 days cos I did capturing on 23rd of November.

I did my first international passport in 2008, and it expired in 2013. I did a change of name, and went to do a new passport with my changed name after seven years of expiration. Will it affect me? Please I need your candid advice. Thanks

I assume that you are in Abeokuta, why do you have to go through the stress of going to the bank?

Why not choose an online platform and make your payment. I chose the first payment platform that pops up during the registration.

Finally, I don't know if you are doing a fresh application or renewal.

I have already replied someone called miracle here on the process for renewal and how to go about it in Abj
I am not sure of what obtains in Abeokuta pls.

Maybe someone who has done his there should help.

The general procedure for renewal is

Acknowledgement slip from your online payment
Application letter directed to comptroller general immigration
Your old passport

I'm doing this for the first time. I'm comfortable paying at the bank. Please address the issues i raised in my first response

You will need guarantor who will fill your guarantor's form, you will need nim details preferably the card or form, you will need 2 passports I think,

D first time I did international passport was in 2005 I think, so it might be hard for me to remember the details. Although I renewed in 2015 and this year too.

As for paying at the bank, I am not conversant with the process cos I have never paid at the bank.

But frankly paying with your card is more seamless than going through the bank stress. I am suspecting you are scared that sth will happen to your money. Pls it is save and secure. I suggest u use it

After paying at d bank, collect ur e receipt.
It will carry a verification or validation code. U will use that online to validate ur payment and hence print out ur receipt slip and acknowledgmnt slip.
U need a guarantor for a fresh passport.
Requiremnts are in the link below, read foe urself so you dnt ask the same question over and over again

SilverG33k:
Does anyone have contact of any immigration officer I can pay cuz it's been a month now I haven't seen a guarantor

Last 2 weeks was supposed to be my interview, went there, was told I needed a guarantor to get it done, since then I've asked everyone I know, it's either expired or they don't have

Even if u and when you pay them money, they will still send you to look for a guarantor, ur ‘bribe’ money will not expunge you from providing guarantor for fresh passport. They will chop ur money and tell u, that u are the one delaying.

Okay guys, time to share my story

I registered on the 11th of Nov (Paid on 26k immediately through Innovate1pay)
The interview date was scheduled for 26th of November ( people here said you can go for submission of documents before your scheduled date but I choose not to because I hate shit*)

I went to Ikoyi on the 26th, submitted all my documents, and got captured the same day, I didn't spend more than two hours on the whole process. I got to Ikoyi by 12 pm and left a few minutes to 2 pm

I proceeded to their Twitter handle (@nigimmigration) on Dec 3rd to check if the passport is ready, and I was told it's ready.

Went on Monday 7th Dec to collect my passport.
Basically, It takes 5 days after capturing before the passport gets ready.


Cedar3 Post gave a very good insight on how to go about whole process

BIG shoutout to everyone who contributed to this thread, you've all done a great job.

It was a fun experience for me.
DIY is the way if you are not in a hurry.

PS:
When you are at the last stage of document submission, you will see people who sat down on connected office chairs, they are queuing for capturing. Just attached yourself with them.

Before it gets to your turn for capturing the officer would have been through with your document.
This way you will be able to capture the same day.

Thanks i eventually made payment online, I've printed the payment slip, acknowledgement slip and the Guarantor's form. I've seen my scheduled interview date. But the details required for a guarantor to provide is just too much. I hope someone will be willing to give out such. Can my dad be my Guarantor? Do i really have to go to court please?
