The new Nigerian passport is similar to European and American passports in that it is machine readable. The application process is started online and has been simplified for efficiency. An interview process has also been added.

    Procedure

  1. The application process for the Nigerian passport is found online and filled out electronically. Print out the finished form and take this with required documentation to the nearest immigration office for your interview.
  2. Documentation

  3. Documents needed by all citizens include the National Identity Card, birth certificate, a photocopy of the data page from the old passport and the Guarantor's form. Other documents, depending on the situation, can include marriage documents, letters and passports from parents (for children under 16), local government letter of identification and a police report.
