Has anyone had any luck obtaining certified copies of a Nigerian Passport or National ID Card? Does anyone know if you can obtain more than one Nigerian National ID Card and whether or not it has an expiration date?

I must have missed this in my journey. What are the certified copies of the Nigerian passport for? Is this a new requirement?

Requirement if you want to file your taxes as jointly.

To get the ITIN u need biographical pages certified and all that.

No worried for you. Your husband is here with a SS#. Hehe

I emailed the Consulate in Lagos and this is what their response was:

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Consulate, Lagos Nigeria.

You and your husband should make an appointment for notarial services with the American Citizen Services Section. At that time, we will be able to certify a copy of his passport. While we are not able to draft letters for this purpose, we can also certify other documents needed for tax purposes. For notarial services, please schedule an appointment here:

https://evisaforms.state.gov/acs/default.asp?postcode=LGS&appcode=1. Appointments must be scheduled at least one day in advance, but appointments are generally available for each day. If this certification and document are needed for official U.S. government purposes (like filing taxes in the U.S.) there is no charge.

For more information, please go to: http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/acs_abuja_publicservices.html.
