Quick answer
NIS passport guidance separates correction of errors from change of data. Applicants complete the relevant online process, pay required charges, upload supporting documents, and appear at the selected immigration office with the current passport booklet where required.
Documents NIS may request
- Birth certificate from NPC or declaration of age.
- Application letter stating reason for change.
- Newspaper publication for name changes.
- Court affidavit.
- State of origin certificate.
- Passport data page/current booklet.
- Marriage certificate where relevant.
Fix NIN mismatch first
If your NIN record conflicts with the correction you want, confirm whether NIMC data must be corrected before passport processing can continue.
