HOW TO REGISTER YOUR INTERNAL PASSPORT BY YOURSELF

✍️ HOW?

I completed my international passport application online by myself—without any agent.

The entire application process took about 10 minutes, and my passport was ready 3 weeks after my biometric capturing.

Below is the exact process to guide anyone applying through the Nigerian Immigration Service website:

Required Documents

You will need these four items before you start:

1. NIN

2. NPC Attestation Birth Certificate (You can get this on the NPC website for about ₦2,000–₦3,000)

3. Local Government Identification Certificate

4. Passport Photograph (white background)

---

Application Process

1. Open Chrome and search for Nigerian Immigration Service.

2. Click Continue (for applicants applying within Nigeria).

3. Select Fresh Application.

4. Enter your NIN and other required details (e.g., date of birth), then click Verify.

5. Fill in your personal information and select Confirm & Continue.

(Note: The Immigration system automatically pulls your details from NIN.)

If you exit before completing the process, you can continue later using your Reference Number.

Processing Time

My passport was ready after 3 weeks and I picked it up without any issues.

I’ve also verified my LinkedIn as part of the process 🤗

Full screenshots and links will be shared in the comments.
