Do It Yourself: How To Easily Get Your International Passport in 5 Steps
Follow the simple steps below:
STEP 1: Register Online
Visit the registration portal, fill in the required details and continue.
N.B The standard passport (sometimes appears as standard e-passport) is for regular citizens, while official passport is for govt officials & diplomats.
Fill in your personal details, Contact details and next of kin details.
Doing this will generate an 'Application ID' and 'Reference Number' for you.
STEP 2: Pay online.
32 pages/5yrs - 25,000
64 pages/5yrs - 35,000
64 pages/10yrs - 70,000
Plus online payment charge
STEP 3: Gather your documents.
Here are the documents you will need:
1. Letter of ID from L.G/State of Origin
2. NIN (They said or NIN, me I sha submitted both)
3. Passport Application Form (You will see an option to print the form you filled online.)
4. Passport Photograph
5. Guarantor's Form signed by commissioner of oath. (Link to form below)
Don't let big English scare you. Print the guarantor's form, and find an eligible person to sign, then go to court.
An eligible guarantor is one with an International Passport.
Don't let the word 'court' scare you either.
Go to a high court, and ask how you can get a commissioner for oaths stamp (less than 1k)
Or pay one the people doing affidavit to process it for you (about 1500 or 2k).
6. Acknowledgement slip & evidence of payment (from the site).
7. Birth Certificate (If your DOB is from Dec 1992) But it's not heavy to carry, so sha just carry it in case.....
You are to go with both the originals and photocopy of your documents. They will see the original, return it to you, and keep the photocopy.
1. Don't wear white: You will be captured against a white background
2. No coloured hair: You will be asked your hair colour during registration, let your hair be as close to that color as possible
3. No dropping earrings (I think it's because of the shadow)
Bonus tip: Don't wear off shoulder. I wore off shoulder for mine, and now it looks like I was not wearing anything in my passport 😩😩.
Also, if you wear contacts, stick to your natural eye colour for the capturing.
STEP 5: Collection
After capturing, your watch (abi na count) officially begins.
Usually, you receive an SMS when it is ready. (But I didn't get any because my line was on DND sha). I sha just went after 6 weeks and got it.
A friend got hers in 4 weeks.
