Thanks! I'll be back with my favourable experience

Oggg:

Glad for you too.

Thanks Bro.

So, I finally captured yesterday. Got a "proceed to enrollment" text by 11pm yesterday night...whatever that means.

The servicom guys said I will receive a text when it's time to pickup the renewed passport.

Anyway, when you get to Ikoyi and anyone officer or not - wants to ask you anything, tell them you're there to see Mr ADAMU.

Na free entry - no disturbance

However, there are 3 Mr Adamus at the Ikoyi centre.

- One is an older NIS officer. He's dark and NOT with servicom
- One is a mallam and a hustler who will want to hand you over to another hustler who will charge you to get a file and write application letter
- The Mr Adamu you want to deal with is a younger, slightly fair NIS officer with a red servicom badge on his arm

The servicom unit has a green sign hanging above it with SERVICOM UNIT written on it.

It is closed in a glass casing on the right hand side (about 30m) from the point where you do NIS Covid-19 temperature scan.

It is opposite a building with yellow/orangish oval designs on the white wall.

Between these 2 buildings is the road people walk through.

The NIS-servicom guys there are much younger and very smartly dressed in carton-brown NIS uniform.

Once you're done with the servicom guys, everything else is sequential.

They will tell you where to go next - just adjacent their glass casing office.

There are 8 points you will get to before you enter the capture room. Series of stamping and inspections will be done.

In the capture room, I couldn't help but notice something...

If you're from servicom, (they would have put your documents in an official large NIS file) - there was a silent reverential treatment.

I think they all know that's the legally right path to take and they're being careful.

Hope this helps someone who tries to renew his/her passport in Ikoyi.

I met the famous Officer Adamu at Servicom. He was courteous as always.
I went with these documents for renewal. He then directed me to the 'long room' where the documents and payment were confirmed.
I then proceeded to capturing room. I was captured in 30 mins.
Took my file back to Servicom office and he told me to come back in 7 working days to pick up.

Una taink you oo

Subomi007:


Okay, no problem.

Bro I've emailed you..

Hello,
I want to renew my passport but...

If I have a valid Visa on a passport that will expire in say 2months but want to renew the passport now, will the renewal nullify the Visa on the current passport?... can I still travel with the current passport until it expires?

Thanks for your prompt response

Hello

Thanks for your prompt response

Passport in ABUJA, IKOYI LAGOS AND RIVERS IS 26k... reason tbat it is the new enhanced passport that was launched last year, to obtain this u must have a NIN as it links ur NIN to ur passport and the above centres have rolled out the scheme.
On the passport there is a space for NIN NUM and it is written out there.

Passport in every other centre not listed above is 17,800 as it is the e- pappt not the enhanced one.
No NIN written on data page.

Does a guarantor have to be older than the applicant? Will it raise any flag if he's like 10 years younger?

What should be filled here (picture attached)?

I guess "I/WE" should carry guarantor's name
What should be written in "of"?

The height should be in (cm) so, let say 170cm.

Oga oggg can help on this.

I'm so angry at myself. I came to pick my passport today. It's been 12 days and I didn't receive any sms regarding the readiness of my passport.

So I walked in and did what others were doing. Dropping the tiny piece of paper with some numbers. I was running out of patience and decided to meet an officer who will help check if the passport is ready rather than waste my time there.

He said it is not free since I want it fast tracked. He requested for 2k to be hidden inside a paper which I did. As he left, I followed him to join the rest waiting for theirs. Guess what? My name was being called to collect. Don't know where the man is so I can collect my money back. ���
