LeBail:
I didn't have the enthusiasm to write this, but I'd be an ingrate if I didn't, as reading how others did theirs went a long way during my capturing process. I scheduled for capturing on 6th June, 9am (they don't follow the time, only the date). Team DIY. The following events took place at port Office, Alausa, Lagos;

1. I got into the port office premises around 9am. I was yet to sign my guarantor's form and I read on here you can do it for N500. I don't know where, but I was armed with the price. I asked around and got offers for 3k, 2k, and 1.5k. I went on to a photocopy shop (three houses from the port office, beside LASRA) and got it for N1,000. I'm sure if I knew the office of the notary person, I'd have gotten it for less because it was collected from me and taken elsewhere by an attendant.

2. I waited till 10am as the lawyer wasn't around when I got there. When I left, I headed into the port office (nose mask isn't a must, don't be cajoled to buy one in case you didn't come with one, I'd advise you to go with one though) around 10.20am and submitted my "Application Slip" as requested by the front desk SERVICOM attendant on the right side of the hall entrance. Go straight to them, don't mind the queue outside, go straight inside on your right, you'd see them there.

3. The document was collected and I was told to go wait outside. After about an hour, I went in to ask them what's up, and I was told my name had been called (this is absurd, no names were called as I was waiting outside). My slip was returned and I was told to look at the info behind them to arrange my documents. I was told to put it in a file, that I can get it outside. I went outside and got a pink file for N500 and a tag (you only need one, the guy that sold it to me said I needed two, it costs N50 each).

4. After my docs had been arranged, I was directed to go to the ACI's office where they will be checked by a senior officer. Na here I kon jam agbako! S/he requested the original of my birth certificate which I don't have, I had been using a photocopy from the past as an original. This is my bad, s/he didn't accept it and said s/he can't do anything about it, say s/he no fit sign am except s/he sees the original or an affidavit to back the photocopy.

5. I went back to the woman I used to sign my guarantor's form and I was billed N2,000 for Age Declaration affidavit which was ready in less than 30mins and I dashed back to the officer in the ACI's office. S/he said I was too fast! Because s/he said what I needed doesn't mean I should get it done immediately (wonderful!). S/he told me to go wait outside and threatened to seize my documents if I persisted. I jejely went outside and sat for over an hour.

6. I went back in to check on the officer, explained that I didn't mean to be rude, and s/he told me to go think, say if I don think finish, make I show back. I didn't leave because I knew what s/he meant. To skip details, I added 2k cash to my file and handed it over. S/he codedly slipped the 2k into the drawer, went on to sign my docs and I was sent back to the SERVICOM guys in front where I was told to go sit for capturing. By this time, it was 4.29pm already.

7. I captured and left the premises around 5.37pm, collection date on slip 08/07. Let's keep our fingers crossed. When I tracked at night, my port production was in progress.

PS: to avoid hiccups for DIY, please go with your original documents or swear affidavits beforehand to the ones (photocopy) you have.

*Dates have been changed to make me anonymous.

bfn1:

For port renewal, you'll be needing some/all of the following:

1.) NIN Slip (photocopy);
2.) Expired port (Original for 'sighting');
3.) Data Page of Expired port (photocopy);
4.) port Photograph (2 or more copies, in case of necessity);
5.) Payment Receipt (as printed after making your payment online);
6.) Letter to the PCO (Oftentimes, a sample is pasted on the wall for you to copy. Just go along with a pen and a blank sheet of A4 paper);
7.) Data Form (as printed after submitting your application online);
8.) Cardboard File (Colour differs across centres & port types, so be prepared to buy the designated one at your centre of choice).

Where did you capture?

Ayoola003:
Everything in Nigeria will stress you. If you know you need your port urgently, don't go thru the DIY route else, you might be frustrated.
Finally got my port 2months after Capturing.
Had to sort someone to Fast-track before I could collect it.
Took just 5days after payment. Again, give yourself between 3/6 months if you want to go thru DIY route.

Pls how do i validate nin for my kids?

Check again in two weeks' time.

missidy:
I read this thread before applying for my port and saw all the wahala of applying online/DIY. I got an officers number at ikoyi from a friend and paid. Uncle did everything for me, I sent him my details via WhatsApp. I even got vip treatment as I didn't spend up to 15mins there when I went for capturing. Got my port in 4 days. Went back on the 4th day and got my port directly from him. Meanwhile they were using megaphone to be calling others on that long queue.
Pay an officer that has been recommended to you and get your port easily. No go stress yourself.

Hello I want to renew my port please can you help send the officer's number that helped with your port to peculia fash at gmail. Everything written together. Thanks

Do any of you guys know the process of name rearrangement on Nigerian port?

First name appears as middle name. Middle name appears as first name.

Name on port: Tolu Monday Rotimi (not real name)

But want it to appear correctly this way : Monday Tolu Rotimi.

A bit confused about the newspaper publication because this is name rearrangement not change of name.
