please, is it possible to do capturing in a state and collect your passport in another state?

I did data capturing in Benin since January 13th and I have still not been able to collect the passport due to no booklets

My situation too in Asaba ...tired...

I don't really think so.

Spidermon:


I just left the Abeokuta Immigration office now. I was told there was no booklets even for parole. I was told to go to Lagos.
I wonder what they are doing in the building if they can't produce passports for citizens.
I think they are just hoarding the few left for VIPs.

Chai..... it's well with our dear country

oloyedelove:


Exactly what I was told too. Only that I would be going for capturing on Thursday.

I did my capturing yesterday (Thursday)....cos I've been very busy at work.
I was given my confirmation slip and on it, my collection date is 9th February 2021....which is just approx. 5 days after my capturing date. I believe it's very close and I doubted the feasibility of collecting it on that day. So I went straight to Miss Chioma to know if it's actually possible for me to get my passport on that day....I also told her that I need it urgently....then she told me to disregard the date. And asked me the passport type I applied for.....I told her it was 32 pages, 5 years. And she said there's no material available it.......as if I would have gotten it immediately if I had applied for 64 pages.....I almost regretted not applying for 64 pages.....then I remembered that I can always renew it after expiration.

So I told her I'll keep checking....then she said if my passport is ready I'll be informed.... since I applied online.

Hoping for a positive outcome...

Thanks for the information
Pls what if the parents are separated how do they go about the dads consent letter,NIN and other ones?
Can the mum consent be recognized only
Thanks for anticipated response

No o. Only mum can not consent. U must get the consent from dad and at least one of dad’s documents.

Twitter is not the official platform to make complaints.
No government agency can track or investigate serious issues on twitter.
Nigeria Immigration Service has provided official email address and phone numbers to make complaints but most Nigerians ignore it.

Hope you know those email addresses and phone numbers are as dormant as the incompetent NIS itself?

Me since 12th January, Benin too... They said it was only 300 booklets they brought for those who already had a flight ticket to leave when I confronted them yst... This is so frustrating.

I don't think so oo

When I missed my schedule for interview, I sent an email to them. And they rescheduled my interview and the new date reflected on my application portal.

They are quite helpful, based on my communication with them through email..... only that you have to be patient for their response....

Do what ever you like.
Does Twitter look like a tool used for tracking and handling complex passport issues?
They have provided email and phone number which is the official standard but you keep saying it is dormant without evidence.

I still don't understand why Nigerians are not willing to use the official email.

please I'll like to know the amount you paid for the smooth process or if it was a DIY procedure.

Hello all,

Finally went for capturing today at ikoyi office.
I got there around 10:30am, Immediately I was approached by these two minutes passport guys, I asked them if there would be need for any since capturing will he done and dey ended up convincing me on how I need at least 4 copies of white background passport, He collected 800 after much bargain for 8 copies, after which he started stories of how he know an officer with one eagle and one star that can help me and I will get it in two days. I told him I have already made payment but he still went on to tell me how online application will delay and the need for me to fastrack with his one eagle one star officer. I gave him a stern look and he just jejely left me alone.

I got to the gate and when I was asked what I came for, I told them I'm going to servicom office. Immediately he heard servicom he let me in with proper direction on how to get there.
At the front dest of servicom office I met the gentle looking vibrant officer adamu, immediately i saw his tag his name rang a bell, he aske what I came for and I explained to him, he asked for my documents, arranged them for me in a brown file signed and stapled what needs to be stapled and directed me on how to go about it.

Immediately I enter the long room, I noticed everyone else had white files while I was the only one with brown file and without intoducing myself all the officers started calling me servicom. I was shock when even senior immigration officers started using sir for me, then I realized I was holding a starboy file.
The whole process took less than 40mins including capturing and I was told to come back in two weeks for the passport.

DIY is the way

Sent you a pm

Thank you.

I have been advised by their office to do an affidavit of loss and renew the old passport.

987Real:
Compile all information you have and contact Nigeria Immigration Service directly via the official email address or phone number.
Nobody on Nairaland has the ability to solve your case.

You don't have to take my word for it now, try calling their phone lines and see for yourself.

Good morning all, please I need your advice.

I got an ecowas e-passport 11 years ago (2010) that has since expired using my maiden name. (I was Single then).

I am married now and I want to apply for an international passport for admission in the US. I have the following questions:

What is the difference between the ecowas passport and international passport?

By reason of marriage, my surname has changed, how do I apply for the international passport with my new name?

What documents do I need?
How much and how long will it take for me to get the passport?

Thanks in anticipation

Have you gotten yours? If yes, how many days did it take you to collect your passport after capturing?

Are you sure there's booklet or the officer wants to collect your money and then delay

Can I use sworn affidavit for the birth cirtificate? Also, the state of origin certificate; what I have is local govt of origin cert, can I use that?

987Real:
I still don't understand why Nigerians are not willing to use the official email.

I sent a mail regarding my passport and until today no reply. Their numbers also didn't go through only the visa number went through and the person was rude. Had to open a twitter handle because of my case and tweet at them (so many times), still no response. Stop looking for who to blame. I have tried it and none worked. Tufiakwa.

Birth Certificate (certificate issued by the National Population Commission shall be required from applicants whose date of birth is with effect from Dec 1992) or Age Declaration attached with one passport-sized photograph and duly endorsed by a Commissioner for Oaths.

Yeah....local government of origin is the same as certificate of origin
