    I would like you to help me resolve this issue of collecting NIN numbers for the renewal of my international passport and immediate family members. I registered and made an appointment registration Saturday (22-04-23) at 272 Flodden Way along with my immediate family members. While my family members got their own done completely, I was unable to get mine completed as a result of the forgotten numbers of the BVN at that moment of registration. I later got back the BVN numbers that day and sent an email back to the generated email of the IQID registration number payments platform on that very day(22-4-23) and later follow up email on (24-4-23) respectively for an information update and collection of my NIN numbers. (IQID and notifications@calendly.com) to acknowledge my request and update my sent BVN numbers to the mail provided through payments, Surprisingly, no response on both sent emails and the call number associated with the IQID contact information telephone number, ringing and no response. Kindly act on my requests as soon as possible in this regard. Thank you, yours Faithfully (* Ibrahim)

      Thanks for the information Ibrahim. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over NIN. It is under the purview of Knowledgequare. Please, visit our latest news section to see the updated list of vendors. Call the secondary number at the top of the list for help.

    My name is Mr Mbata Chinwendu George. I was in Ottawa in April precisely April 3rd for passport renewal for my entire family comprising of myself, my wife ,my daughter and my son after going through the necessary steps as stated in the High Commission's web site. The process was very good only that our daughter had an issue with her NIN not matching the names on her passport as one name in her passport was not in her NIN which we did on a visit home in Nigeria in 2019. One of her names Chidera in her passport was not captured in the NIN. However, we were directed to a place in Ottawa where we went and did another NIN and I was told to follow it up in Nigeria so that it can be uploaded on the NIN system so the high commission could see it and process her 10 years passport and that, I did successfully. The problem is that while all of us have received our new 10 years passport my daughter has not got hers. We wish to travel back home in June and time is not on our side. Please help me. We want our children to know Nigeria and know that they have a beautiful country hence we try to visit every 2 or 3 years. Her name is Mbata Karen Chinenyenwa Chidera.

      Thanks for the lengthy explanation. Perhaps her passport is not ready yet. As you can see from your message, you all got yours. She will get hers before June. You can also call the office on Tuesday.

      You have to keep following up with them. The payment is not under the High Commission's purview

    It's been almost 6 months now and I've gone for recapture 3 times now. All I'm trying to do is fix a spelling error in my NIN. The knowledgesquare center is quite useless in getting the work done. So, kindly give me a solution or who I can contact to get the job done. Thank you.

      Unfortunately, Knowledgesquare is responsible for NIN, you have to go back to them. The Mission does not handle NIN.
