*DIY New/Fresh International port*

*Stage 1*: on their website and pay 25k +1k for service charge...total 26k

*Stage 2*: still on the website, print guarantors form, acknowledgement form and Payment Receipt.

*Stage 3*: Take the form to your guarantor to fill, your guarantor will attached port photograph, photocopy of international port data page, and photocopy of NIN or Drivers licence.

*Stage 4*: Take the guarantor's form to court for stamp(they will collect 500 naira or 1k)

*Step 5*: Go to your selected centre for capturing
I used Ikoyi, Lagos State, so I will be using Ikoyi as an example.

*Doc to take to Ikoyi, port office*

1. Application form

2. Acknowledgement form

3. Payment Receipt

4. Filled and stamp guarantors form with international port DATA page and NIN slip or Drivers licence

5. 2 port photograph (your own)

6. Photocopy of NIN slip

7. Photocopy of Birth certificate

8. Photocopy of State of Origin

*You can also go with original of 6,7 and 8*

*Step 6*: When you enter Ikoyi port office, by the right hand you will see a "Servicecom" sign, speak with any of the staff sitting inside the cubicle.

He/she will collect all your document vet it and return it with another documents and ask you to photo it and fill (make sure you photocopy it before filling)

After filling retire it to the "ServiceCom" person . He or she will open a file for you and write places you have to go for g and stamping.

After stamping in one place, ask the person "where is next" politely and follow through the process.

When you're done with capturing, before stepping out of the capturing hall, a man will collect your file and it.

After that, take your file back to the "ServiceCom" personnel and your DONE.

Ikoyi Office was used as a case study, if you’re within Lagos state Alausa port Office is highly recommended
Copied
