Hey guys, so my sister booked for her appointment on the 16th of September which is this coming Monday, and I think that's a public holiday for Eid-el- Malud, I'm just curious will NIS open on that day or she will have to go the next day for her capturing?

Freddy94:She will have to go on Tuesday, the 17th of September 2024 for her biometric. Nigeria Immigration will be closed to applicants on the 16th of September 2024. |

My wife and children did port renewal (DIY) biometrics capturing on May 28, 2024 at the Ado-Ekiti office of the NIS. The earlier ports are expiring at the end of this month. I have been tracking it online, but port Issued (port pending production) has not been checked marked ever since. Production (port production is in progress) has been checked marked. Any idea of what could be wrong?

arilewo:Do not rely on the port tracker. Go back to the Ado-Ekiti port Office… Your wife and kids’ ports may have been produced and are waiting to be collected. |

ekitimanalways:Thank you ekitimanalways. I will keep you updated |

Hello Good evening everyone. I am a fresh graduate making arrangements to serve somewhere in the West by October. I plan to apply for port at the beginning of my service year, so that the waiting period for the port will be reading concurrently with my service. I want to know which State in the West is best and quicker to deliver the port, and the first steps to take in ing. I'm a newbie here and will appreciate advice and directions. Thank you in advance for helping me out. |

Graced1:Ikeja port Office in Lagos State is best. Click the link below for fresh port application: https://port.immigration.gov.ng/nin/VTJGc2RHVmtYMStVS2g4UU5XaXh4QjdRaHpOYVE4dU9qRCsya09TM0FqMD0%3D Requirements for Fresh port Adult (18 years and above) Letter of identification from local government/state of origin or residence. Completed port application form. Marriage certificate (If you're a married Nigerian woman). 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 port-sized photograph and duly endorsed by a Commissioner for Oaths. Acknowledgement Slip and Evidence of Payment. Based on the upward review of the fees for the Nigerian port effective from 1st September 2024, 32-page port booklet with 5 year validity previously charged at thirty-five thousand naira (₦35,000) is now fifty thousand naira (₦50,000) only; while 64-page port booklet with 10 year validity which was seventy thousand naira (N70,000) is now one hundred thousand naira (N100,000) only. |

ekitimanalways:I'm really grateful. This is a detailed explanation. By clicking on the link, can I begin the application myself with PC? Secondly, I have done age declaration, but the signatory (commissioner of oaths) is what I am not sure of. I'll check my documents by morning, but before then, what happens if there's no endorcement by the C of O? Lastly, I'm going to Osun. What do you think about the port office in Osun? Thank you Sir |
ekitimanalways(m): 6:42am On Sep 14, 2024 |
Graced1:Yes, by clicking on the link you can start your port application process yourself (I am a strong advocate of do-it-yourself) with a PC and/or smartphone. The online application process is simple and easy to use. https://port.immigration.gov.ng/ If you were born from 1992, a birth certificate issued by the National Population Commission is required from you or age declaration if you were born before 1992. Age declaration will be rejected on the day of appointment because the applicant did not attach a port photograph of his or hers to the age declaration and because it's not duly endorsed by a Commissioner for Oaths. My neighbour who had his port done in Osun State some months ago said that the Osogbo port Office’s organized and friendly. No offence, but you didn't have to call me sir. I appreciate your good manners and respect but please you can simply call me Ekitiman. 2 Likes |

ekitimanalways: Same with me, do I need to go with a new appointment slip? Or I could still go with the one stating 16th of September. Also I checked the next available date on the website and I saw 23rd. I hope that doesn't apply to those that booked the 16th |
Patbaker(f): 7:40am On Sep 14, 2024 |
iswallker: Yes! I ed already. I just had to keep trying. I'm guessing it was an error at their end 1 Like |

Patbaker:No, you do need to go with a new appointment slip. The appointment slip with you is (still) valid... |
Graced1: 9:20am On Sep 14, 2024 |
ekitimanalways:Thank you, Ekitiman. Initially I was thinking anyone can use age declaration or birth certificate (irrespective of age). That means I have to first begin application for a birth certificate. This takes me to another set of questions. From my end, using Google to search for things like this does not give real-life and actual amounts and information, so I'll be asking more questions from experienced people. Do I have to take anything to the NPC? How long and how much is the estimated time and amount to get it done? Thank you, Ekitiman. |

Graced1: You are older than 18 years. Therefore, the National Population Commission will not issue you a birth certificate. Instead of a birth certificate, you will be given an attestation of birth.

ekitimanalways:Your detailed explanations make the whole process easy even before one begins. Thank you so much. I just checked my age declaration, it has all the details you listed (including the ones I saw on the site). I will apply by Monday, hopefully everything will go seamlessly.

ekitimanalways Good afternoon sir,and thank you for your inputs. Please sir,I want to ask a question,I was meant to capture on 10th but my application was rejected because the local government of origin certificate was not available(original format),and the version I ed online was rejected too, because it was not original,I had to ask for the original to be couriered to me,it even led to the officers seizing my documents with threats of arrest,I found out the were pissed off because it was a DIY application,and one was even saying that I think I am wise abi? Now that my appointment date has ed,can I reschedule a new appointment date? If yes,how do I go about it,if no can I go on and capture since all required documents are complete. Ps: I found out I can't reschedule my appointment for my centre,can I go on and capture? |

ekitimanalways:Well done Ekitimanalways....I made payment for my port renewal on 29th August and submitted same day., I'm yet to go for capturing....please how long does it take to be given an appointment.... Here's the status of my application

ekitimanalways(m): 2:53pm On Sep 14, 2024 |
jjbest123:It's no surprise that the officer(s) showed no regard to you. You got first insight into how inhumane officers (not all officers) of Nigeria Immigration Service can be towards do-it-yourself Nigerian port applicants. You don't need to book an appointment again. Go back there and you will be captured. Please just make sure all the required documents are in order. Best wishes! If I may ask, which port Office the inhuman treatment meted out to you? |
jjbest123(m): 3:40pm On Sep 14, 2024 |
ekitimanalways: Okay,thank you sir. Exception of the ceased documents,(still in their possession) the local government certificate in the (original format is available now). Awka, Anambra State. Officers name can be mentioned too. Wish the was a spy camera to capture things life. |
ekitimanalways(m): 4:18pm On Sep 14, 2024 |
jjbest123: I might need to escalate the issue on your behalf to the headquarters of the NIS. Please what’re the documents seized by the officers from you? 2 Likes |

ekitimanalways:I have checked my spam folder but there's no approval mail,actually,i applied for port renewal but didn't an application letter as I didn't see where it was required..I was only required to data page of my expired port... Could this be the reason for the delay? |

I applied for renewal of my port on the 30th of August to beat the price hike which would take effect on September 1. I ed the documents required which does not include application letter and immediately proceeded to book a date for enrollment. I got my approval email exactly a week afterwards.

sirrotex: 10:44am On Sep 15, 2024 |
I booked appointment immediately after the payment was successful. In other words, the approval email came after I had booked an appointment for enrollment. I chose the Ikoyi office for enrollment

sirrotex:I'm confused...thought you can only book an appointment after getting an approval mail. I'm quite sure about this because I did 2 applications on the 29th,1 for myself and boy.My boy got his approval mail a week after and it was after he got the approval mail that I chose an appointment date. |
