Hello, I am planning to renew my passport and also do a name change. Do I have to pay for both renewal and change of data? Your feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello Temi,
Yes, if it is a change of name via Marriage or Divorce, that falls under the High Commission's purview.
However, if you want to change your data for any other reason, please, contact the Nigeria Immigration Service in Abuja.
Also, kindly refer to information on the website concerning a change of name and the applicable fee.
Thank you Susan. If I get you correctly, it means that to renew passport and do a change of name on the new passport (due to marriage), the money order applicable will be $150 CAD? Is this correct? Regards!
Hello,
I will like to get an update on my passport renewal application. I came for capturing on September 29,2021
My details below kindly help.
Full name: Oluwabukola Oladipupo
Application Id: 17403438
Reference No: 1160528229.
Thank you.
Thank you, Abu Susan, for your response to all the enquiries above.
I would like to clarify if, on a family passport renewal (Parents and children), Administrative Fees must be paid for each member of the family, or will a single fee cover the family application?
Thank you for your kind words, Bayo.
You have to pay for each member. But you can put them all on a single money order.
For example, if you are three in number, the money order should be 150 CAD.
Hello Susan,
I brought my daughter on the 5th of January,2022 for passport renewal but our tracking number is still non-existent in Canada post and we have not received her package, yet.
I have sent 2 mails to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca but I have not received any response.
Her study permit expires in two weeks and we need to renew it so she does not go out of status. Please can you provide an update?
Regards
Beatrice

hello came to Ottawa for a passport renewal with my daughter(10years ) on the 21st of January 2022 though we applied as a family and i brought one envelop for both of our new passport but i wasn't informed to drop our old passport in national envelop, as I learnt from friend later on that i was supposed to put both of our old passport in the envelop and drop in the box. I hope this would not affect the mailing of our passport (myself and daughter) together when the passport are ready. Thank you
It will affect the mailing process, Gold.
We can only post your new passports after cancelling your old expired copies.
The information is on our website and all our social media platforms.
Could you read these updates? We have most of the answers to some of the questions from applicants.
Send in your old copies with a note stating the date you came for capture and explain that you left with the old
copies because you were not informed. Now you are sending them back.
Hi,
Please I just want to confirm whether the passports sent (for Applicants that came in between January 6th - 10th) include the applications of those who applied for a change of name via marriage.
Thanks,
Praise
Good question.
No Praise, change of name takes time because we send your details to Abuja.
We can only process your new passport after we get a feedback from Abuja.
Thank you.
Please is same day collection for Passport renewal still available? I am coming for renewal at first week in March so I can purchase the Money Order.
Same day service is subject to the availability of booklets.
If you come with your $200 money order for same-day service and it is not available,
you can go back to your bank with the money order to claim your money.
Hi please I would like to ask a question on renewing my passport when I come to renew my passport what do I need to bring with me?(A list would be appreciated) and do I have to pay extra $200 to get the passport back the same day?
Testimony,
The list of what you need to bring is in the E-Passport section.
Please refer to it. The $200 is not mandatory. You can pay it via money order if you need same day service.
But the service is also subject to the availability of booklets. This information is also here on the website.
So please, read everything concerning E-Passport renewal before you apply.
No Sam,
If you can, come in with your $200 money order, if it is available,
you can pay and get your passport the same day. If not, you can return the
money order to your bank and claim your money.
Hi Susan, there has been no update from the passport unit since January 28. Please when will the passports for those who did their capturing between January 11 and January 15 2022 be printed and mailed? My family and I were there in Ottawa on January 14, 2022 and we need the passports urgently. Thank you
Hi Susan,
are the passports for those who came for passport renewal on January 28th 2022 currently being processed and will be sent before the or during the week of February 14th ? My family and I are traveling on the 20th of February and need the passport as soon as possible. If not is there a way to expedite the processing ?
Thank you !
The Nigeria High Commission does not handle visa applications anymore.
Please click the menu for the section related to visas.
VFS Global is responsible for visa. The link to the website is also there.
It depends on the level of damage on the data page. If it is intact, yes, you can renew your passport. But you have to follow the instructions on the website for the requirements for renewing a damaged passport.

The $150 money order is for the High Commission, Ottawa. This fee is different from the $106 USD you paid to innovate 1 for your new booklet.
