How To Get Your International Passport With Less Than #20,000
If you know Daddy J. O, you will find out that one of his many messages is about getting your passport. Well, his words live rent-free in my head and I have finally gotten my passport.
This post is for those that want to get their passports but don't have enough money for the express process and have three to four months to wait.
First, you have to log in to the immigration website, and select start new application
After logging in, you will have a four steps form to fill, starting from passport type, personal details, and contact information to next of kin information.
Make sure that every detail you filled in here is correct.
Fill in your correct details appropriately, and proceed to make payment. There are several payment options available, choose one that is suitable for you. The fee for all states apart from Lagos and Abuja are fifteen thousand nairas plus two thousand two hundred nairas for address verification plus six hundred naira bank charges making a total of seventeen thousand eight hundred nairas.
NB: Lagos and Abuja fees are higher
If your payment is successful, download the following:
Application receipt and payment invoice.
Booked appointment
Guarantor's form
Congratulations if you have gotten to this point
To the next phase
Take printed original copies of the above-listed document, your birth certificate, NIN slip, Local Government of Origin certificate, passports, guarantor's passport, guarantor's photocopied NIN slip and passport page to the immigration office in your state.
NB: Your guarantor must have an international passport and you will be required to go to court to get one signature like that on your guarantor's at a fee, calm down, it will not be more than two thousand nairas. Making a total of Nineteen thousand eight hundred nairas.......e still never reach 20k
You will go through some documentation and you will be given a date to come for your biometrics and capturing.
After successful capturing, you will be given a slip, and then you have to go home and wait.
Your International passport will be ready in two to four months, depending on how fast your state gets booklets.
PS: Your passport production date will be dated the month you were called or texted to pick it up and not the date you registered or captured.
Congratulations in advance
Hope this helps your global goals and dream.
If the world is your stage, then you need to take the right steps. Be global-ready.
