Hi All,

I live in UK, myself and my wife already hold nigerian passports but not e-passports. My wife's passport is expired after 5 yrs, mine to expire next year.

We have decided to apply for new e-passports rather than to renew, also decided to apply for our children as well.

Question 1: As we already hold nigerian passports, do we still need a letter of consent to apply for our children?
Question 2: If we do, does anyone know the information that must be contained in this letter of consent? A sample will be appreciated.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi All,

I live in the UK with my family and I have today submitted an application for 4 e-passports, 2 adults & 2 children. We are all british citizens but may need to frequently visit Nigeria from now on. Now my problem is I dont want to take my children to the Nigeria high commission (5 & 4 yrs old). It would be such a long & boring day for them & dont want to take them out of school as well.

Question: Can myself and my wife go with all 4 applications, take along our children's application with their signed passport photos and consent letters etc, we both already have the old nigerian passports (expired) so should be pretty straight foward right?

Also do we need a solicitor or notaries public to authenticate the consent letters?

Any help / advice will be very much appreciated.
