Larger, that's precisely what I said I was going to do.

Thanx for the info sfdaram. I am just perplexed at a few of the requirements. Letter of identification from Local gov. of origin or residence? I live in the UK and would not be able to get this before my interview date next week!   

As for the guarantor, my family friend is happy to do it but why such questions like (1) state assets of guarantor (2) their financial standings (3) the form has to be sworn to in front of a commissioner of oaths (I guess this can  be done in London) It sounds like a guarantee form for minors! I am married and live in the UK, unfortunately my husband is European so cannot stand in as my guarantor.

Anyway i'll just call the Nigerian Consulate in London and get more details.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond

Thanx sfdaram. I have checked the site and the payment has finally gone through. So all good!!!

One more thing though, is the guarantor's form relevant for Nigerians who already hold a valid Nigerian port and are now resident in the UK? Am I right to think that the form is for those who are getting their first port and have not been to the UK? I am getting a reissue of my MRP but would rather go for the e-port (I live in the UK). To be safe I got a family friend to write a guarantee letter stating that they know me blah blah blah,  Do you think this would be sufficient w/out the guarantor's form being filled?

HELP!

Does anyone have any contributions to make regarding this please?

Thanks!

I hope someone knowledgeable can help,

I am a UK resident and applied for my Nigerian e-port online today through the Nigeria Immigration Service. I followed the instructions and paid using the google checkout system. For some reason when I try to check my payment status on the NIS site it tells me that my application has not been completed/payment not made But I have paid $110 already!!! The google payment service says that my order has been delivered,

Can anyone who has followed this process tell me what to do/expect? I assumed that I would receive confirmation of payment and an interview date but nothing has come through yet. I am a bit sceptical about this system.

Also do I need a guarantor and if so do they need to fill the lengthy guarantor's form?

Looking forward to your comments/suggestions.
