Lost Nigerian Passport

[QueenE 174]

So my fiance's passport was recently stolen ( when it rains it pours I swear). Is it true that the only place to get a replacement passport in Nigeria is Abuja? He said that it is only Abuja does a replacement, he is in Lagos... to me it doesn't make sense

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

My husband renewed his somewhere in Lagos while I was there.

Either list A or B is here he can get the passport. Lagos is on both

My husband received his in Ikoyi passport office...I will ask him where and let you know

Edit: Just saw NigeriaorBust's post...looks like Alagbon Close is where he went...

As far as I know, reissues are only done in Abuja. If his current passport was issued recently then he might have a slight chance. But Nigeria is a very fluid country and things change.

Ya he needs to get a reissue, why is it only in Abuja that they do that?

It comes down to infrastructure.

Now that being said, he can set the ball rolling in Lagos and he woudl be given a day that he needs to go to Abuja for data collection. He can take an evening or night bus and arrive as they open in Abuja and be back in Lagos the following morning taking a bus right away (he will bask in the ambience of funny smells and world class snoring). No hotel stay necessary. I have never recommended air travel domestically and won't start now.

But you trust the water, stange what juju gets to people

My mum also lost her passport just before an interview for visitors visa last year. All our efforts from every angle angle led us to Abuja. I could not understand it either but that ws what we had to do and the fees were terribly high. one friend of an in-law requested N100k to assist.Someone offered to help get the ball rolling in Lagos( like a poster suggested) but completion still needed travel to ABUJA and was asking for abt 50K. God's intervention from an unexpected source helped us get it done for the base price of N10k or less by one of the Ogas himself there.

So yes unless things changed within the past few months, lost passports must be redone in ABUJA. the only exception is if she had the old passport then she canjsyt apply for the electronic anywhere. You need police report, court affidavit and money. All the best.

He has to go to Abuja, they can only issue in Lagos or other places if it s the future, but if re-issue, he has to go to Abuja... Even if you are abroad, u have to return back to Abuja for re-issue

You mean my husband who is here in the US and whose passport is due to expire next year will have to return to Nigeria just to renew his passport?????

Isn't that how it is in all countries?

I've never said that Madam (study the thread again).

I'll never drink water in Nigeria that isn't bottled or wasn't boiled and filtered first. No cholera for me.

YMMV.

PS: What is Juju?

I'll check on the process for the ECOWAS passport renewals.

Thanks...I have looked all over the internet and the only thing I am seeing is he would have to go for an appointment at either Embassy in Washington, DC or Atlanta...

My next step was just to call and find out.
