What are you applying for?
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:

  • Whether it's a first-time, renewal, lost or damaged application
  • Who the passport is for — an adult or a child under 18
  • Whether you're applying inside Nigeria or from abroad
  • How you became a Nigerian citizen (by birth, naturalisation or registration)
  • Whether your name has changed since your last passport (for re-issues)

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 book your appointment or submit anything to the Nigeria Immigration Service.
  • It does not ask for your NIN, passport number, or any reference number — only your scenario.
