The Nigeria Immigration Service will deploy a passport intervention team to four UK cities from September 7 to 26, 2026, to assist Nigerians with passport renewals, new passport applications, and resolution of pending applications. The intervention team will visit London, Manchester, Aberdeen, and Cardiff over the four-week period.
The High Commission of Nigeria and representatives of Nigerian communities in the UK were consulted in the planning of the deployment. Eligible Nigerians are encouraged to apply and make payment through the NIS Passport Application portal before the visit. Applicants must bring a completed application form, payment slips, an appointment slip, a self-addressed return envelope, and their current passport for renewal.
The service assures that its digital application channels, including the Contactless Passport Application System, will remain open throughout the exercise, and home delivery services are also available.
