I captured on the 23rd September. My flight is November 3rd. Any chance I'll be getting my passport before this time please?
Abu SusanSays
I cannot say yes or no. We have no control over the arrival of booklets. However, we will commence production as soon as we receive them.
EmemSays

Hi Susan, I must appreciate your hard work in answering all the comments in a professional manner. I have been reading all the comments and your reply. Kudos! Please can you advise, what is the average time between the capture of biometrics and when it is issued? I know it is hard to give an average on the basis that there are several factors not within your control. However, from your experience, what is the average wait time based on the current delays? 2 months, 3 months, 4 months? Thanks
Abu SusanSays
Thank you, Efemena, Unfortunately, I cannot give you a specific time frame because we have no control over the number of Booklets that Abuja will send at a particular time. However, production is not a problem at the Mission if we have a large number. We will work on weekends to produce them as quickly as possible because we know what applicants are going through.
Efemena OghenejakporSays
Hi Susan, Can you also confirm the persons that are next in line to receive their passports? Which month is next in line?
Abu SusanSays
Take a look at our last passport update on the homepage. We stopped towards the end of August. We will continue from there when we receive booklets, hopefully, next weekend.

Hi there, I Hope this message meets you well. We are a number of people that want to renew passports in BC. Seeing that an intervention program has not been done this year for residents of BC, what do we need to do in order to have you guys do an intervention in BC to help residents reduce travel cost and time to renew our passports. Looking forward to your response. Thank you,
Abu SusanSays
Hello Wale, Intervention is currently on hold.
DavidSays
Pls is there any updates on the booklets, how soon do you estimate to have our passports ready ?
Abu SusanSays
No updates at the moment. Perhaps the booklets would arrive next weekend. If we get them, we will post updates.
