Mailed in my United State Passport 08/05/2022 for Visa process only for them to misplaced it. Without even letting me know my passport was Stolen. USPS tracking number 9505512150122217575333 Someone must pay for this I promise.

My profound gratitude goes to everyone here for their hard work and dedication. Can’t even explain how pleased and grateful I am with this embassy. I applied and received my emergency travel document all by mail and a phone call. Speedy services and very friendly customer service. They deserve six stars for such a great job and I’m very grateful once again.

Know certain things if you plan on visiting here for your passport renewal. 1. Payments made after 5th of July 2022 are for the new passport. 2. After payment online, you go through the link to book an appointment(don’t waste your time going to the embassy before your appointment date, they won’t do walk-in before the date, you will only get to do the biometrics on that date or after it has passed, meaning you can go either on the appointment day or after it has passed) 3. You need your NIN number if you paid for the new passport $142 for 5 years and $242 for 10 years(if you don’t have one, look for offices where you can do your NIN and get the number before scheduling an appointment) 4. You are required to pay $30 administrative fees at the embassy with a debit card (don’t bother trying to fight it, it’s on their website lol) 5. You’ll spend at least 2/3 hours at the embassy, make sure to get there before 10am so you at least get to start early. 6. Have one passport photograph handy(no one tells you until you get there) 7. Get a paid envelope from USPS with your address and the embassy’s address on it and a green striped sticker(so they can send your passport back to you, you can do standard delivery or overnight) 8. Take the old passport with you I got my renewed passport back exactly a week after(using standard delivery) The issued date on it was the day I went in for biometrics.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Requirements for a passport renewal

Manny | Oct 13, 2017
Buchi Chilaka | Oct 12, 2021

Tips for anyone who has an appointment for a passport renewal: 1. Print the Passport Application form to be completed online 2. Print the Payment confirmation Slip 3. Print Acknowledgment Slip 4. Print a copy of the data page of Nigerian Passport 5. Bring the expired Nigerian Passport 6. Bring two current passport-size photographs preferably with white background 7. Bring a prepaid express USPS envelope or $30 in cash to have the passport mailed back to you 8. The embassy actually opens at 10am. The earlier you get there, the less you'll have to wait your turn.

How. Long does it take to get the renewal passport back.

From my experience, you can go for your interview anytime after your interview date has lapsed. My wife was able to get interviewed and processed by just showing up with me a month after her interview date. They just will not attend to you BEFORE your interview date. Good luck

My wife had our baby in houston and the baby's American passport is due to be out on the 26th of April. She is due back on the 4th May in Nig.There is a visa on arrival process in Nigeria. Can the baby be allowed to leave America with that docs?

Angus Twombly | Oct 13, 2018
Pans Grove | Oct 13, 2018

You cannot mail used clothes to nigeria period. I found that out the hard way, but if you go on Nipost customs you can look it up. They specifically say no used clothes, no used shoes.

why do i have to pay $130 at the embassy when i paid $106 online to renew my passport

Lillie Graham | Jan 15, 2022
Femi Akinkuowo | Jan 15, 2022

I just went there recently and didn't pay that much. The fee they charged me was for their processing costs. I believe it does cost around $130 or thereabout if you've lost your passport and you go there cos you want to get a new one.

How much does it cost to get a TRAVEL CERTIFICATE?

I am not sure other than his purpose of visit and relationship with you stated clearly when he goes to the US embassy for his interview. He also has to have his Nigerian passort ready and supporting documentation as regards what he does. These are the only things I can think of.

They'll usually send you an appointment date that may be approximately 3 months from your submission date. You can also try calling the embassy and if you're lucky sometimes they'll pick up.

so i applied and i paid through inovate!!! just as told! now what?! how do I get and appointment? I can not reach anyone.

Shamar Mozee | Oct 12, 2021
Shay Shayman | Oct 12, 2021

If your application is to the DC location, visit the place by the time it is one month of your application. Go with the printout of your application form, the printout of the confirmation letter you received in your email when you submitted the application, the copy of your data page on your Nigerian passport, two passport photographs, and about $25 cash (they will tell you that will be for returning your new passport even though you still have to go get it yourself after their so called 60 days).

Can my visa be prepare in USA with my details and send down to Nigeria to make it easy.

Akharia Peter | Oct 12, 2021
Sunday Ogunmadewa | Oct 12, 2021

I guess you will need to contact the consular section of the embassy for information on getting visas by proxy or in absentia. See their website for more details.

Will I be able to get my passport the same day I do biometrics at the DC embassy?Otherwise, how long does it take to get my passport back and how will it be shipped. Also, will they hold on to my old passport (still 3 months to expiration).

Ayomide Odumuboni | Oct 12, 2020
Ogechukwu Williams | Oct 12, 2020

If your passport will be shipped back to you, then your old passport will be held by the embassy and returned with the new. For shipping, you must provide a prepaid priory mail envelope. Ensure that the mail is certified (embassy officials insist on this). Certified mail simply means that you'd pay an extra 3usd or so at the post office and get a green sticker that you affix to the envelope. It is meant to provide an extra layer of security and provides you a mailing receipt and electronic verification of delivery or delivery attempt.

Advice, make an appointment between now and March 26 to try your luck. Nothing on a Friday. Make sure to jave all needed documents set prior to leaving for said appointment with a certified envelope. If you haven't bought a ticket yet, i'd say try extending your departure date more toward the end of April or early to mid May.

They call only the first 50 people that their names are on the list. Go with your expired passport, renewal application, payment slip, and a self addressed certified stamp and envelope. Good luck!

Okay, what you do (if this is about the embassy in DC) is to go to the embassy anytime from when your application is about a month old. Go with the printed receipt of paymnet, printed application form, two copies of passport photograph, photocopied data page of your expired passport, and cash of $25 or $30. As for the money, they will tell you it will be used to mail your passport to you in 60 days. In ny case, I payed them and still had to pick my passport up by myself after a month that it ought to have been sent to me

Francillia Dunmore | Oct 12, 2021
Pres | Oct 12, 2021

Not a problem as long as the visa is linked to your passport and the Nigeria immigration can easily trace your US passport to the visa. Do as if you are aware so that the Nigeria immigration will not use that to collect bribe from you when you arrive Nigeria. I think everything is okay in the system just that there was no enough space to add that last word. If the Nigeria immigration ask you tell them the embassy said is OK. If my advice didn't convince you enough you can check with the Washington DC Nigeria Embassy. Remember never tell a mistake to a Nigeria Immigration when you arrive Nigeria let them find it themselves otherwise you create an avenue for them to ask you for bribe with serious intimidating tactics from the immigration officer.

Arlene Washington | Oct 12, 2021

Your friends should apply for an American visa from Nigeria, but must show compelling ties to his native country (Nigeria) proving beyond reasonable doubt that he/she would return after the visit to America. Also, he/she must show that they can sponsor there stay in the U. S

What happens if yo just showed up at the Embassy?? Do they take walk ins?

Khandi Bourne | Oct 12, 2021
Ajibade Ojuko | Oct 12, 2021

The Embassy of Nigeria in DC does not allow walk-ins at the moment. Of course, this might change after the Covid-19 pandemic. I was at the Embassy with a friend last week, November 13, 2020; people who paid their application fee after September were asked to return mid-December. I'm assuming that there is about a 2 month waiting period between your passport application payment and your actual biometrics capturing appointment. Please always contact the Nigerian Embassy to ask pertinent questions about your appointment before you visit, as information on the website aren't always always up to date. Save yourself a trip.

I followed instructions given at the embassy to renew my Nigerian passport. I completed the application steps, received an application id & a reference number. I have also paid. A week later checking NIS portal says I have not paid. What do I do>

Kerry Kezor | Oct 12, 2021
Dr. Ike Udejiofor | Oct 12, 2021

You need to print your payment receipt. Print your application, have 2 recent passport picture. Take all that to the embassy. Expect the following things to happen. 1. Plan on spending 3 to 4 hours wait. 2. They will take a passport shot of your face and also finger prints if you are under 60 years old. 3. Prepare to pay $30.00 cash for postage. The passport can only be mailed, no more passport pickup. Good luck.

Beu P | Oct 12, 2020
Ogechukwu Williams | Oct 12, 2020

You can. By the book, you renew when you have 6months and under left on your passport. Otherwise, you will need to explain why you wish to renew with more time (6+months) left on the passport. Your renewal shouldn't be a problem but I'd say be ready with that explanation in case it comes up...which in your case is a visa. Visa issuing authorities usually require that passports be at least valid for 6months..., so you've got your explanation.

You do not get the passport the same day. In some cases if there is an emergent need, you can get it after speaking with the immigration officer if available. They usually give you a date for pick up, they also have an option to mail it to you but there is a fee of $30(not 💯% sure on the price) to mail it to you. You can also sign a consent letter with your original passport attached and give to someone to pick up for u.

ope olatunde | Oct 12, 2020
Ogechukwu Williams | Oct 12, 2020

It takes 3months (by the books) to get your passport, though it's typically sent back sooner. Since this was a mobile passport exercise, I'd expect that it would take the three months. Did the officials tell you when to expect your passport? I'd wait three months and then consider a trip to the consulate (they typically do not pick up the phone...but you could try that too)

There are templates online on how to write invitation letters to the US. Certain information, including legal status of sender, has to be in the letter.

Ogechukwu Williams | Oct 13, 2019

Do you mean that you won't make the passport renewal appointment or you wont be able to pick up your passport afterwards? Renewals must be done in person...no mail ins and no proxy. If, however, you are unable to go back for passport collection, simply go to the embassy on your interview date with a pre-paid Priority Mail envelope. It must be certified mail (which is basically a green sticker that cost $3and some cents). Hand this envelope over to them at your interview and your passport will be mailed back to you. This is the route I've gone over the years.

That is absolutely not true. Do it right. Go and apply for emergency travel certificate (ETC). It's $150 money order, a print out of your ticket, a written application for ETC, 2 passport photos. Of you have accompanied minors, you do same for each and write a letter of consent dukky signed by both parents and a copy thier birth certificates. It takes 2days to process. When you get it, before you travel, make sure you make copies of the ETC, because they will collect it at the point of entry in Nigeria. Then when you are coming back, you present the copied ones. Coming back with it is only possible when you have a US passport or GC. I hope this helps.

Go online to Nigeria Embassy DC website, you need to create an account then begin the application for the Passport. You need to use a credit card with your names. You can't use your credit card for person with different names. After the payment, you will will see the date of appointment for your biometric. Remember to print the acknowledgement and payment receipt. You must go with those two papers then copy of your Nigeria passport biodata page and the passport itself. My advice are, if you going to DC location make sure you go very early because of parking and also book approximately 4 hours for the entire process. Hope this info are helpful.

Olutope O | Oct 13, 2019

You have to go on the embassy website and there should be a place where you can type in your application reference number then it will give you an option to reschedule the interview. It's easy..dont sweat over it.

can i just walk in the Nigeria embassy at DC to renew my passport?

Prince OT | Oct 13, 2019
Olutope O | Oct 13, 2019

No no no, you can't do that..you have to first apply on the Nigerian embassy website and complete a form for the passport renewal and then..make a payment I think it's some like 120. Then you will be given an appointment date

I sent in the requirements to apply for an emergency travel certificate, and I have not heart anything back or get anyone on the phone. How can I find out what is happening? Please help!

Your best bet is to go to the embassy in person. Talk to the gentleman at the front desk.

kunle rabiu | Oct 13, 2018

You might also need to get to the embassy got detailed explanation for the renewal as a third party is involved. The interview date is also the capturing day. The waiting period is definitely close to 2 months.

The US State Department recommends malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, and polio among other things. Check the state department site.

When applying for a passport renewal, can I pick my own date during the process? Or do I have to wait to change it after the consulate/system schedules one ? Also, what's the length of a tourist visa b4 expiration!? Thanks

I have applied for the tourist visa and have been given an interview date of 7/16. I am still uncertain if the interview is at OIS Services or at the Nigerian embassy. I am also uncertain how to change the interview date if necessary.

Nevin Neal | Oct 13, 2018
Olutope O | Oct 13, 2018

I think it's at the OIS. And to change the interview date..you simply have to miss the scheduled appointment, then go online to reshedule it to a later date

WHY ARE ALL YOUR MAILBOXES FULL? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

A E | Oct 13, 2018
Olutope O | Oct 13, 2018

Yes. I think they intentionally left the voice mail full. It's a really crazy situation

Trying to call the provided phone number and all I hear is the mailbox is full. How can someone who is in need of help contact them with this kind of situation?

Osahenrumwen Terry Ewere | Oct 13, 2018
Olutope O | Oct 13, 2018

So sorry to tell you that your best option is to go to the embassy. To get someone on the phone is hard even when the mailbox isn't full.

From what I read on the embassy, it is very hard to get anyone to pick up the phone..so your best bet is to physically go there and talk to them.

I applied for my Visa online and I sent my application with my US passport to the embassy. However, I have not received anything back. Thus, how can i get my passport back. I have been trying to get in contact with the embassy.

A capital NO..you cannot travel with an expired passport. To your second question, No Nigerian embassy will only give you visa or renew your passport if appear in person. And from what i know, you are better of applying to renew your passport. Its a much easier process and you will get your new passport with 2 weeks

Update: After trying multiple times, someone in the admin department answered and informed me that the dates in the application are randomly generated and so you can come in any day after your appointment date and get attended to. PS: make sure to buy a prepaid return envelope so they can mail you the passport once they are done because you won't be able to pick it up the same day.
