Please how can one check for status of the port... I capture in Abuja middle of August. Thanks

There's a pickup room at the back of the capture centre. Submit your enrolment number to the officer and he/she will let you know if the booklet is ready.

If your application had no issue, your status should be E at this stage. If it is, your booklet should be ready within the next 2 weeks.

Abeg make ona help a brother oh
Them say enter your maiden name. I no understand abeg ?
Check well if you selected female gender because male don’t have maiden name except mother’s maiden name which is different from what they ask for
Maiden name is an girl surname before she got married and change to her husband name so if she still single she will still put the same sure-name.
But for guys do not fill the place is not for you .

That should be your Mum's name. Her firstname.
Median name is different from mother’s median name
Median name = girl surname before she got married and change her surname to her husband name

Mother’s median name = your mothers surename before she got married to your father and change her surname to that of your father.

DIY @ Abeokuta office

Hello house DIYers

We have an appointment for a minor at Abeokuta and we spoke to someone who works there.
He said we would be sent back on the day of the appointment because we are supposed to certify/ our documents before the appointment day.
The immigration website does not indicate this at all, nor does it request any s.

Please anyone with any information about the practices at the Abeokuta office, kindly share.

We, the people must be ready to make Nigeria work. Let everyone stand their ground, do things the right way and stop bribing people who are paid to do their work.

You go online and input your details, PDF copies of these, print and go to the selected capturing on your appointment date with all documents that are requested of you.
Read this thread and get all information needed.
BTW, the application link for new ports/renewal is below

To the above poster, regarding Abeokuta port office, I have no information but I'd advice you ask from the person you spoke with on how to go about what he told you
It could be the practice and he could be trying to milk you
On this thread, I've seen people advising that you should go open a file before your appointment date
It was troubling advice but I noticed most, if not all sharing this information, are applicants outside Lagos
I'm a DIYer currently awaiting my port and followed all the information here which was spot on [though some people's advice was muddled up]
I'd only advice that all your information is verifiable especially you minor's NIN number
Keep us informed how it goes cool cool cool

Good day to all on this forum
Team DIY & port renewal here
I offer thanks to all who have shared and are still sharing information to help out others
Keep it up
Some advice I read here was muddled up, thus my post

I did my capturing for port renewal sometimes last month following this thread and the new port currently in production
I should have captured in June/July but for NIN validation as mine was BVN generated
Visited NiMC's office physically and virtually [sent emails] to sort this out before initiating my application

Documents needed are what is printed to your appointment slip namely
1] Application letter [ed and printed from your application]
2] port booklet [expired port for sighting]
3] Photocopy of old port data page
4] Evidence of payment [ed and printed from your application]

Things not mentioned that are needed
1] port photograph [submitted 1 but take extra]
2] File [purchased outside the gate for 500 naira]
3] Application letter [wrote mine there but ideally write it out from your home]

That's all if you have read through this thread before getting here
I believe fresh port application should follow similar a process once you get all the required documents cool cool cool

Zyzman:

Is there a way to slot another person's name into the booking portal seeing you need an application ID and reference number [issued upon registration] to even book? embarassed embarassed
Abi no be the same portal your officer agent go use to get you date? undecided undecided

Depends on which state/center. For Lagos 3 months seems to be the average duration for DIY. So if you need it sooner, that should inform you on what you'd need to do so you don't lose opportunities.

For DIY that's not at all realistic but I'm not sure, it's possible they've cleared up their backlog. But if you 100% need it before the end of November I'd advice you to either postpone your plans or get someone to "Fast track" it for you, just so you don't get disappointed.
