Easy to locate, Administration and processing of passport is okay. Please know requirements before you go and please be sure to schedule an appointment before you go wait in line. Thanks they were all very helpful in processing my application

I paid online for a renewal since dec 2020. I received an email stating that my appointment date will be communicated via email. I am yet to get an appointment date. No one is answering my calls. Please what is the next step. 08.22.22 I have come back to update my review. Today i am giving the Nigerian Embassy Atlanta a FIVE STAR following the one star review I previously left. Today for the first time in a long time, I felt like things can actually be better for Nigerians. I arrived at the embassy VERY early, which in my own opinion, was not necessary. The embassy opens at 9.am and nothing happens before then. As long as you have all the valid documents as well as your appointment confirmation letter, and administrative fee, you will be perfectly fine. If you don't have an appointment, hmmm, Please STAY AT HOME because you are on your own. The staff were very polite and courteous. I hope this continues as well extend to other Nigerian parastatals both home and abroad. Great experience 10.05.2022 I was informed that the passport will be delivered by the 19th of sept 2022. I am yet to get it as of today. Please what's the next step? 10.10.2022. Update. Passport received. Passport is pretty too.

This is honestly the most unprofessional and disorganized establishment I have ever come across. Arrived at the consulate 2 hours prior to my appointment time of 12 pm. Was asked to pay $20 parking fee to park in the lot attached to the building providing said services, without a receipt. When I asked for it I was told that’s how it’s being done. I graciously accepted and moved on. Fast forward to going into the consulate, the security personnel was no where to be found and the gate closed. Waited for a little bit and then finally was let into the premise. Met an amazing staff and she was truly helpful and then my troubles began. Was asked to go sit in the overflow ( outside) under a canopy with a temperature of 95 degree, and wait to be called. I asked about an estimated wait time and she said 2 -3 hours, even though my appointment was for 12pm. Somehow others were getting called in despite having different appointment times and when asked the staff would tell us to wait since everyone will eventually be called. After waiting for what seemed like forever outside, I was finally called in at about 2.30pm and was still asked to sit and wait while they attended to what seem to be a high profile/paying family who were called in after myself and kiddo. I hope they make changes which will lessen the frustration people have to go through whilst needing services with them. The office where the NIN is being registered, had staff playing super loud music with a boom box, and no sense of urgency. Having more than 15 people queue up and then staff are having casual conversation is just wrong. This is not to say the entire staff is rude and have terrible work ethics, it is just a characteristic most portray and that needs to be improved upon. Hope the consul general or ambassador attached to the USA makes some changes to better services and experiences.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Am from Dallas, I want to know when am getting my passport

Joel Madubuike | Oct 30, 2017
Brian (spangles) | Oct 30, 2017

The best you could do is to go there in person. Just be there very early so that they can attend to you properly. It is important. It saves your time and gives you rest of mind. I'm talking from experience; so, if it worked for me, it will work for you too.

My husband is. Nigerian and I am an US citizen how do I obtain a nigerian passport so I don't have to keep reapplying for a nigerian visa

Audrell S Etagbara | Oct 30, 2019
Justus Ukomah | Oct 29, 2020

My mom was in the same position, and my understanding is that you cannot receive a passport unless you become a citizen. However, they may require you to give up your American citizenship first (not sure if that is still procedure) the second option is to get your permanent resident card as a Naija wife who should allow you to travel freely. Still, with that, you may need to live in Nigeria. My suggestion would be to talk to Nigerian immigration on your next visit for the most updated information.

My appointment was on Oct 16, 2018 and my collection date was Dec 23. So I have to pay the money because I need my passport before then. I hope this helps.

Connie newburn | Oct 30, 2018
Diana Anifowoshe | Oct 30, 2019

Yes you can apply for new passport first with your new last name. Then renew your Visa showing your new name. But when applying for new passport you must send your old passport to them. They then will punch a hole in the old one and return the new passport along with the old one. I had to do that after returning from Nigeria after my marriage to my husband who is Nigerian.

Mr. Babajide I am also an applicant like any other people. I am not an employee at the Consulate. Though I have an answer to your questions. 1. They attend to people on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (Except on Nigerian public holidays). 2. You can go there on any of the days mentioned above, but If you have an appointment from them, you only need to go there with a money order of $30, but if you don't have an appointment, please go there with a money order of $130 along with Express mail blue envelope. All the best...

My name was wrongly spelt on my Nigerian international passport. How do I have it corrected?

Blessed | Oct 29, 2021
ISIAKA OLAYINKA BUSARI | Oct 29, 2021

Hello Joe, to be sincere Nigerian Embassies does not have a major requirement other than for those who want to change their name due to their change in Marital status. One advice I can give is to go there in person on the days they attend to people and ask them directly what you need to do. I know you can go to their website and apply for a change of name, but this won't be effective enough because they didn't specify the reason why you want your name change. Unfortunately, they won't pick calls if you call them. So please go in person and sort it out once and for all. I wish you all the best

Unfortunately, there is a charge to walk up to the embassy of $130. There is no parking, and you will be forced to pay a $20 fee to park in the back of another building. You must bring everything you need because they will not provide you with a single document. It is chaotic, but the staff is absolutely amazing and tries very hard to help everyone.

Remi Adewale | Oct 29, 2021

Check the consulate's website for closures. Sometimes they are closed for Nigerian holidays so search the internet for Nigerian holidays. They close on American and Nigerian holidays and Boxing Day which is a British Holiday. If it falls on Saturday or Sunday, you can be sure they are closed on the following Monday. This is what happened on the 28th of Dec 2020. Christmas was on Friday, Boxing day on Saturday, they were closed on Monday the 28th of December 2020.

Ensure you take all the documents listed on the website. Most importantly, take a self addressed U.S. Postal Priority Mail Envelope with tracking so they can send the passport directly to your mailing address.

Also, don't forget usps express shipping envelope, hard copy of your itinerary, and copy of expired passport data page. These folks are very particular...have all these things to avoid hiccups.

Which of the embassies? I don't even think it's possible to go through via an agency because you're required to be there in person for your finger prints at the consulate. Did you do any fingerprint at the agency and what about your expired passport, did you submit it to them for vetting because that's what the consulate will do - if you didn't do all these, the agency is not real. Go online, apply newly, pay and get an appointment date, and when you get there, you can expedite the process and forget about the 5 days with the so-called agency because I have no idea what you can do about that.

It doesn't take more that one month, it could even be earlier because mine was ready a week before a month that I applied. Good luck.if you don't get it between now and next week, be ready to go there for the second time and sort it out with them in person because calling won't suffice.

Hi, I missed the day for my interview for passport renewal...been trying the contact number on the website with no response. All payments has been made. What do I do? Or how do I reschedule for another interview?

JohnPaul Mbachu | Oct 30, 2018

I'm 90% sure that date is arbitrary. You can try and just go to the Consulate in person and let them know of your situation. That number they have posted is barely ever answered by an actual human being.

Chukwuemeka Onyenyilionwu Michael | Oct 30, 2018
JohnPaul Mbachu | Oct 30, 2018

Did you pay for a passport or the application to apply for a passport? Those are two different things. The passport should have been sent to you within 3 weeks. The application is valid for, I think, 90 days after you paid for it.

My sister lost her passport. She does not have her Nigerian birth certificate. She has been in us 28 years how can she get a new passport please

Dr. Olatokunbo Ogundayo | Oct 30, 2018
H A | Oct 30, 2018

The consular website has info on lost passport. She needs a police report to get a new passport. For the birth certificate, I am not sure how that will be handled. A phone call or email to the embassy may help answer some of your questions.

Please I’m applying for a passport for a new born in Atlanta , do I need an agent to help out with that? Or will I get it arrive in the mail?

H A | Oct 30, 2018

Well, you apply on online, pay the fees, and print the forms. Make sure you read the instructions and take with you all of the things required on the date you take the baby to the consular office. The embassy already uses an agent to complete the application. You do not need an agent beyond that point. Plan on spending 2-3 hours at the consular office on the date of the interview. The passport will arrive about 4 weeks after the interview.

Please can I renew my student visa in the U.S. if my F1 is still valid

Abubakar abba usman | Oct 30, 2018
Dora Paul | Oct 30, 2018

If you mean student visa into the US, then NO you cannot renew it in the US. As long as your f1 status is valid, you are good to go. The only time you will need to renew your visa is if you leave the US and need to get back into the country. Hope this helps

When you call and it goes to the answering machine (as it usually does), just ignore what the answering machine is saying and go ahead and press the number "0" (zero). It will connect you with an online representative instantly.

I am a US citizen traveling to Nigeria. I am trying to figure out which vaccines are required for entry. Will yellow fever vaccine be sufficient?

AKE The Writer | Oct 30, 2017
Brian (spangles) | Oct 30, 2017

That should be fine; nevertheless, you may search the net for recommended vaccinations. You could also take anti-malaria medicines with you (in case you're bitten by mosquitoes); however, you should be fine. Nothing to fear. By the way...remember to visit Obudu Cattle Ranch and some other beautiful places. Safe ride. God bless you.
