I did change of name due to marriage recently at Alausa
I pay 26k online and submitted my file for vetting on the 16th of July, got text for capturing on the 5th of August,
One of the officers told me they transferred the application to Abuja rrasons for the 3weeks plus salah break in between

naughtylagosguy:


Correction of data (change of name, correction of name, and change of DOB) can only be done in Abuja. I know this because my wife recently changed her name on her international port.

Whether the process can be done in other states, I don’t know, but I’m sure they will still have to forward the application to Abuja for approval.

May be it's a 10 year validity port. Otherwise, it's kind of high.

Good day! Everyone.

I was told at Immigration office, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State that I have to pay N45,000 to process my international port acquisition. Considering the lower prices of N17,000 to N26,000 I've seen so far in this thread, is that price genuine? Your response would be helpful. Thank you.

Take your printout to Alausa to begin the process. The interview date is not relevant.

Please, is this the same for every state?

I did my application on 10th of August and just like the guy, I have not received any interview date. BTW, I am not in Lagos

Money talks. If you're seated there, you will notice those who'll come in newly and still get theirs done.

If you paid through one of them, hold that person well. If not, they'll frustrate you for paying the normal price and they'll even say port no dey. Corruption is in that place abeg

Firstorderwizard:


If you are born before Dec 1992, you can use age declaration. Anything other than that you need birth certificate.

Must it be a recent one. My age declaration was done in 2008.

I can only speak for Alausa in Lagos where I obtained my port.

However, the interview date does not matter, what matters is if the port office is DIY friendly. I Will advise you to go to the port office.

How long does it typically take to get the port in Ph office if you follow DIY process?

Please can someone give details of what a guarantors letter should contain? If possible can I see a picture of it? I’m applying for a new port

Guarantor form is ed online from NIS website
Then ensure your guarantor has
1. Current Int'l port
2. National ID or driving license
3 . A port photograph of the guarantor
Then you're good to go.

That’s fine. Thanks a lot.

Mystery007:
oh, okay. Thanks for the response, i live in Ota so its not that far (about an hour journey so i heard). Were you sent an SMS to come pick up when it was ready or you went there without getting the message.
Please how long did it take before it was ready

It wasn't the era of text messages. It took more than 2 months after capturing. My sister that did in Alausa last year got a text for collection so I guess the SMS is a new thingy
