Do you think I'll run into problems if I do it online myself and only show up for capturing? Also, please what is the average timeline of waiting these days before the port is ready?

Thank you.

Thank you.

No, you will not run into problem if you follow DIY ( do-it-yourself) route. NIS encourages you to apply by yourself and submit all required documents.

Ibadan, Oyo state

Please guys, does this mean my port is ready?

jjbest123:


They are almost same thing,but DIY applicants in Owerri has chances than Abia State,where you will pay 20k before it will be vetted.

The best centre in the East remains Abakiliki,Awka is doing anyhow now,even though that's the centre My Boss used.

Thanks for this, I recently applied online and scheduled my appointment date last Monday but I wasn’t able to do the capturing cos they don’t work on Mondays, I’m a bit confused right now if I should go back or not, cos when I got there someone asked if I had the number of the agent that processed it for me and I said no so I don’t know if they will attend to me when I go back I guess I just have to try

Please what is the acknowledgment slip about?
The complete port application form and approved form are they different?
Cos I ed one when I was done applying and another when I got an email stated that they’ve approved it but I printed just the approved one, do I need to print the first one that wasn’t approved too?

The acknowledgment slip is for Nigerian port applicants who select “Bank” for the payment of port application fee.

Yes, the complete port application form and approved form are different. Both MUST be printed.

Vivian,wether you missed your appointment date or not,you have the right within a six months time frame to capture.

Walk in there like the Boss,greet them and when asked of any Agent,tell them you ed online and you came for capturing,they will be painted but can't help it,but direct you where you will go to for that,when you get to the front desk,you will see where others are writing their names,do same and wait for your name to be called.

You will submit your documents,and it will be vetted after which you proceed for capturing,when asked to pay for anything,be bold in a polite way,and turn the offer down, letting them know you are on budget with what is obtainable at the official website.

After capturing,make sure to get your Collection slip,keep it safe oooooo..... Because you won't be able to take your port without it.

All the best to you.

Which office did you choose?

BONUS TIP: Make sure to go with all your documents ( original and photocopy) submit the photocopy,they will ask for the originals for sight seeing,after which it will be returned to you.

If you encounter any issues,you can always reach out.
