NIN: NIS Clears the Air on NIN, Other requirements for Obtaining E-passport

The Comptroller General of Immigration Service (CGIS) Muhammad Babandede MFR,wishes to bring to the attention of the general public that the National Identity Number (NIN) is a compulsory requirement for applicants desirous of obtaining the Enhanced e-passport. The NIN which is generated by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) must be provided by all applicants for enhanced e-passport to enable successful integration of their NIN and Passport data.

 
2. In the above regard and taking cognizance of the on-going Industrial Action by staff of NIMC, the Nigeria Immigration Service(NIS) wishes to make the following clarification:

i.              that although some NIMC NIN registration centers are situated within the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) formations, it should be noted that space were only provided by the NIS for ease of doing business through proximity and easy access to the NIN centers for only passport applicants and Passport related issues only.

ii.             that it is not in the purview of NIS to issue NIN. As such all  fees relating to NIN acquisition, change of data on NIMC platform or any other charges relating to NIN has nothing to do with NIS and therefore  not party to the fees charge.

iii.           that all persons who are already in possession of their NIN can apply and obtain enhanced e-passport in the NIS SHQ, Ikoyi, Festac, Alausa, Gwagwalada, Port-Harcourt and Kano main Passport Issuing Centers; subject to successful verification of the NIN;

iv.           that other e-passport issuing centers where the old e-passport which do not require NIN are issued, remain operational;

v.             that any arbitrary charges relating to NIN or passport acquisition requested by any staff of the NIS should be reported to the following contacts:07080607900; 0814199908; [email protected];

vi.           that a monitoring team has been put in place by the CGIS to ensure smooth operation in all passport issuing centers.

 
3. In the light of the above, all intending passport applicants are enjoined to pay for passports on-line and to avoid patronizing touts for any Immigration facility while the Service assures the General public of prompt service delivery.
