Nigerians living abroad can now renew their passports without visiting an embassy for biometric enrolment through the new contactless passport application system.
The system is designed to make passport renewal faster, easier and more convenient for eligible Nigerians in the diaspora.
Under the new system, applicants can complete and track their applications online without having to visit an embassy for biometric enrolment. They can also go through a secure verification process using the National Identification Number (NIN) and date of birth.
To begin the process, applicants are required to visit the official Nigerian Immigration Service passport portal and select “Apply from Outside Nigeria.” They should then choose “Apply for Renewal or Reissue” to start the application.
