The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to inform all Nigerians that the Nigeria Immigration Service has launched the Enhanced E-Passport in all Nigerian Diplomatic Missions. This new form of passport enrollment will ensure enhanced reliability, durability and increase the national security integrity of Nigerian passports. To this effect, applicants are advised to take note of the following regulations guiding the application process for the enhanced e-passport: 

National Identity Number (NIN) is a mandatory information to obtain the enhanced passport;

Information on the NIN must tally with the information on the passport for renewal;

The information on the passport payment receipt must tally with the NIN information and the passport for renewal itself;

Applicants shall book their appointment directly at the immigration official website before coming to the Mission;

The enhanced passport requires automated payment verification, NIN and enrolled data, therefore applicants are advised to ensure that the completed online passport application data matches with the old passport data, the intended data to be enrolled and with the NIN.

Prices for the Enhances E-passport are as follows:

32 Pages - 5 years - $ 153

64 Pages - 10 years - $ 230

A flat rate price applies, with no difference for minors and the elderly.

MANAGEMENT

It has come to attention of the Embassy that certain people have been taking undue advantage of Nigerians seeking to secure appointments for passport renewal at the Embassy. We wish to bring to the attention of all passport applicants that APPOINTMENT FOR PASSPORT IS FREE (NOT PAID FOR). Anyone asking you to pay to get an appointment is engaging in extortion.

In a bid to mitigate fraudulent activities meted on innocent/unsuspecting Nigerians, the Embassy has established a “PUBLIC COMPLAINTS UNIT” that will receive and process complaints about such illegal activities.

If you wish to report any illegal activity pertaining to appointment/issuance of passport, please call/send a WhatsApp message to +49 176 2930 9426. Alternatively, you send an email to report@nigeriaembassygermany.org

Kindly note that all complaints/reports will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Once again, the Embassy wishes to state that passport appointments are FREE OF CHARGE.
