General document checklist

One checklist builder for the services beyond passport and NIN — pick what you're doing and get the documents to bring, drawn from the matching guide.

Build your checklist

Step 1 of 1

Which service do you need documents for?

Passport and NIN have their own dedicated checklists — see the links below the result.

Pick one to continue

What you'll need

You bring a few simple details about your situation — never a NIN, BVN, passport number, bank or card details:

  • The service you need (e.g. driver's licence, CAC, BVN, civil documents, banking)
  • The specific task within it (apply vs renew, open vs upgrade, register vs modify)
  • Where relevant, your applicant type (individual, business, first-time vs returning)

What this tool is not

NigeriaHowTo is an independent information website. We are not affiliated with any government agency, and this tool will never process your application or share your data with any agency. To be specific:

  • It never asks for your NIN, BVN, passport number, bank account, card details, full date of birth or full address.
  • It computes everything in your browser — there is no account, and nothing about you is stored or transmitted.
  • It does not submit anything or process any application for you.
  • It does not invent requirements — every list comes from a published guide for that service.
  • It never asks for identity numbers, account details, or any sensitive data.
