Nigerians can now apply for and receive passports without leaving their homes.

Nigerian Passport Booklet

Passports will be issued from a central location in Abuja starting in April 2025.

Nigerians will soon be able to process and receive Nigerian passports from their homes, eliminating the need to physically go to a passport processing centre.

Nonetheless, only Nigerian citizens who are 18 years old or older and individuals seeking to renew their expired passports can acquire the new contactless passports. New applicants must visit a passport processing centre to have their biometrics recorded for their passports.


The unveiling of the contactless passport processing app took place in Abuja on Friday during a stakeholders' forum, as announced by Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Minister of Interior.


It has been learned that the contactless passport processing project, aimed at reducing human contact, is being managed by two Nigerian companies, Irish Smart Technology and New World, who have been testing the process for the last nine months.


The minister clarified that the new technology was implemented to lessen the usual challenges faced by Nigerians in getting a Nigerian passport both domestically and internationally and to protect them from being taken advantage of by intermediaries who create unnecessary obstacles to extort money from them.


Tunji-Ojo revealed that the app was created to meet all the needs for getting a Nigerian passport, making it easy for applicants to get the document quickly.

The minister declared that starting in April of next year, all passport production will be centralized in Nigeria, and no immigration attaché in any foreign mission will have the authority to approve visa issuance.

BREAKING: Tinubu’s Nationwide Broadcast Contained False Oil Production Data, OPEC Reports

By Chico Mies. Tinubu asserted that Nigeria's crude oil output had attained 1.6 million barrels per day, crediting this achievement to the reforms implemented by his administration within the oil sector.

In a speech delivered on August 4, in response to the concerns of the #EndBadGovernance protesters, President Tinubu claimed that Nigeria's crude oil production had attained a level of 1.6 million barrels per day.
