Following the activation of the automated passport application portal today, Nigerians at home and abroad can now go online to apply for passports without interface with personnel of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
The federal government had last year through the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced that automated passport application process would commence by January 8, this year.
Personnel of the NIS have been going through intensive trainings for the flag off of the exercise.
According to the spokesman of the NIS, Dr Dotun Aridegbe, as at Sunday, January 7, some of the personnel were yet undergoing the training programmes at the Service Headquarters and other designated places.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Minister of Interior, Babatunde Alao told our correspondent that the activation of the automated application processes commenced on Monday, January 8, noting that there was no formal event on it by the minister.
He confirmed that applicants can now go online and apply for the documents.
The minister during the training of Immigration personnel for the exercise had hinted that the online passport application platform was established for both international and Nigerian applicants.
He said the process which would involve uploading passport photos and supporting documents online would reduce human interfaces and eliminate corrupt practices.
He explained that Nigerian applicants who want 32-page passports with five-year validity would pay N25,000, while those who want 64-page passports with a 10-year validity would pay N70,000.
Foreign applicants, who wish to apply for passports with a five-year validity period and 32 pages, would pay $130, while those who prefer passports with a 10-year validity period and 64 pages would pay $230.
