When one log-In , there's supposed to be an option for one to be able to reset the password. The website for Passport Renewal , there's no option if one forgets the password and possibility of changing such for one to log-In NOT AVAILABLE. the website is NOT USER FRIENDLY. Something needs to be done to make it more functional.

Please, you can send an email to the Nigerian Immigration website. The Nigeria High Commission has no access or control of their website.
Abu SusanSays
Please revert to the NIN vendor in your location for more information.
M. OLUSOLA ODUTOLASays
It's most frustrating that a Pre-Enrolment for NIN completed on Thursday19 March, 2020, NO INFORMATION received to date. I tried contacting NIMC office in Abuja but no response. I will appreciate adequate information be made available electronically to me to get registered for the NIN. Thanks very much
Abu SusanSays
That is a challenge for us here. We also have to wait until we receive the update from NIMC
Christian OkorieSays
I registered for my NIN registration since last week and was made to understand that it has not yet come out taking my time of processing my Permanent residence. I still did not understand why my NIN is been delayed without any information to the reason why it was not yet out. Please, the commissioner in charge should understand the frustration people face in such situation.
Abu SusanSays
Unfortunately, the High Commission has no control over the NIN, it is done by NIMC in Nigeria.

It's been exactly 3 weeks now that I have been calling MR. NAFIU's phone without any response. We got the registration centre through NHC Ottawa website; We will appreciate your intervention in getting things sorted out. Best regards

Hi. Please I will like to perform change of name due to marriage. My NIN is in my maiden surname which matches my current passport. Do I need to make any changes to NIN and if so, how please? I also see that sworn affidavit is a requirement for change of name, I have had my newspaper publication showing my change of name to my husband’s surname since 2018 but I do not have any affidavit. Can I book an appointment to change my name without this affidavit and if I can’t , can you kindly direct me on where I can get an affidavit acceptable to the consulate here in Canada. Thank you
Abu SusanSays
Go to the legal office for getting an affidavit. Also, go to a vendor near you for the change of name.This list is here on our website.
GraceSays
Hello, is it possible to get the tracking number of my passport that is to be sent back, I have moved from the address on the package due to a fire accident and my passport is expiring in 3 weeks and I have no way of tracking my passport whatsoever. Thanks
Abu SusanSays
If you moved, you need to send your new address to the Mission so we can change what you had on the envelope, else it will be mailed to your address already on the envelope. And if it has been mailed out already, then you have a problem now because Canada Post will mail it back. And it was your duty to take the tracking on the envelope before dropping it in the black box. Send your new address to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca and explain. You can also go to Canada post to alert them.
GraceSays
Hello is it possible to get my tracking details for my passport before it is sent back, I recently moved out of my old address due to a fire accident and don’t have a copy of the tracking details

Chinenye Theresa MbahSays
Hello, I came to the High Commission office in Ottawa on January 19, 2024, for my passport renewal. I had issues with my NIMC. I got captured but I was asked to rectify the issues with VFS. I went to the VFS the same day and had my biometrics done again. I was asked to write back to the High Commission to inform them of the update and attach the new Tracking ID. Can you kindly guide me on where I need to do that?
Abu SusanSays
Send it to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca
DeborahSays
Hello, For people that left Nigeria early, before NIN was made compulsory, can an exception be made? This is because Nigerains that left the country years ago do not have an NIN

Hello, Please I have 2 questions... (1) There is a mistake on my day of birth and month of birth on my NIN digital card, only the year is accurate. Please I want to know if it can be corrected? PS:I have the NIN slip that doesn't showing date of birth. (2) Also 1 want to change my maiden name to my husband's last name on my NIN so I can be able to apply for change of name on my passport because the passport office said I have to update my maiden name on my NIN to my husband's last name before I can proceed with passport change of name. Can I also do that as I am correcting the date of birth issue? Thank you
Abu SusanSays
Please contact the NIN vendor in your area for clarity.
Yetunde JosephSays
I need to do a change of name on my passport (to my marriage name from my maiden name) but the instruction on the website says my NIN must bear the name i want to change to. so that means i need to effect change of name on my NIN first. how do i initiate this NIN change of name?
Abu SusanSays
Go to a vendor in your area. The list is on the website.
Toochukwu Getrude OzuombaSays
Hello, please, can I correct my date of birth here in Canada? The date of birth on my NIN is not correct. Thank you.

Abu SusanSays
The choice is yours to make. All we require is that what you have on your NIN must be the same with what you have on your old passport. You need to change one to match the other.
JoySays
Hello, My name is Joy. I came to the embassy on March 1, 2024 for passport renewal. During the process, it was discovered that my NIN can not be verified because it was not coming up on the verification portal. It has since been rectified and is available for verification. I have sent an email to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca on Tuesday- 11 March, 2024 to notify the embassy. I will appreciate if the process of my passport renewal can be treated as soon as possible. Thank you.
Abu SusanSays
If you sent it to generalinquiries, then give it a bit more time for the process to be completed. You can check the status of your passport on the immigration website.
JoySays
Thank you for the response. I am hoping it is processed and I get it as soon as possible. I am a bit worried because it is together with the passport of other members of my family. My husband needs his' for an examination by 2nd week in April. I will appreciate if there is anything you can do on your end to process it timely. Joy
Abu SusanSays
But that is why we insist that you should use separate envelopes.
JoySays
My husband is on the verge of missing the examination if we do not have the passports before second week of April, 2024. I tracked the status of my passport and it's still stuck at 'NIN Verification' stage. Please, is there a timeline to this, since the NIN issue has been rectified and the required email with all necessary information has been sent to the provided email address 'generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca'?
Abu SusanSays
Unfortunately, application details are not allowed on the website. So go to our Twitter handle and share his application details and enrolment number with updated NIN. Also add the date of capture, because it takes 2-4 weeks to produce a passport, all things being equal.
InnocentSays
Your scheduling page is not working. Please how do I schedule passport renewal appointment?
Abu SusanSays
We do not have a calendar here anymore. Please, always read notices. The Calendar has been centralized and now handled by the website of the Nigeria Immigration Service. Go to their website to pick a date.
Ademola MafikuyomiSays
For a couple of weeks now, I have tried to initiate a renewal for my Nigerian international passport with no luck. This is because I keep getting an error message when verifying my NIN. I have NIN on my current passport, so the NIN is correct. Has anyone faced a similar issue, and how did you go about it?
Abu SusanSays
It means there is a problem with your NIN. Go to a vendor near you to fix it.
PandaSays
How do I know that I have NIN issue with my passport application and how do I know what the issue is? The passport office do not send email or call and I did my biometric ever since January and no passport till now. It still says pending NIN approval. What is going on? I emailed the passport office 50 million times and still nothing from them. So frustrating
Abu SusanSays
If it says pending NIN approval, it means, your NIN has errors. Please visit an NIN vendor near you to fix it.
PandaSays
But how do I know what the error is?
OluSays
Hello, I am not a staff but I can assist with some information. Follow the below steps to verify your NIN online. Visit 'https://passportintl.immigration.gov.ng/' > continue > Apply for renewal/reissue > Sign in > enter your NIN details for verification. You can thereafter, visit a NIN vendor for further assistance if there are any issues. Hopefully, this helps!
Abu SusanSays
Thank you, Olu
PandaSays
Thank you. I just did it and everything came up with no issues. I am not sure what issue the passport office is encountering. There is also no way to contact them. Maybe I might have to visit the office without an appointment as there is no way to make one
FranklinSays
Hi Abu Susan, My biometric appointment was on a Good Friday which was a public holiday. Is it possible for me to come any day of my choice i.e. sometimes this week with the same appointment letter? For some reason the website has restricted me from rescheduling my appointment. Mine is the case of E-passport renewal. The website talks about the mandatory CAD $50 administrative charge receipt. Where do I make the payment?
Abu SusanSays
Yes, we posted a message to that effect. The website also said you should by the 50 CAD money order in the name of the Nigeria HIgh Commission. Also note that Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 & 10 are also public holidays.
FEMI A OSays

FrankSays
Hi, Do children need NIN to apply for Nigerian passport? How long does it take to get NIN and a passport please? Where do I find information on the current processing time? Thanks
Abu SusanSays
Everybody needs NIN. These information can be found on our website. Always read first to get informed. Contact the NIN vendor in your location for information about NIN. It takes 2-4 weeks to renew a passport all things being equal, except for a name change or a lost case which takes longer because those are processed in Abuja.
DejiSays
Hello, Abu Susan, I am looking to confirm my NIN info on the NIS website and the 'place of birth' and 'maiden name' fields are blank. Will this need to be rectified before I apply for my passport renewal? I'm male so maiden name does not apply to me but my place of birth does not seem to be showing on my NIN record and I'm wondering if it is compulsory. Please advise. Thank you
Abu SusanSays
Please revert to the NIN vendor close to your location for guidance. The list is on our website.
TemitopeSays
Please do we have another location to apply for a new NIN in Edmonton Canada. The only location I know the computer is down for like 2 months now.
Abu SusanSays

GbengaSays
Hello, my appointment is on may 2 and my passport will expire on may 15. please is the explicit process available for passport renewal now so I can get my renewed passport on the day of appointment because I need it for my permit extension.
Abu SusanSays
Unfortunately, express processing is not available
EmekaSays
Hello Susan. Thanks for the great work here. My passport was processed two weeks ago but till now, I the Canada post tracking says it isn't found on the system yet. I've written to the High Commision twice to no avail. Is there a chance that there's a delay in passport dispatch?
Abu SusanSays
Give it time, perhaps it is still in the mailing room for documentation.
Nkiru NwabudikeSays
Hello Abu Susan, I missed my appointment for health reasons. Before the date, I sent an email to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca as stated on the website. I have not gotten any reply since then. This is over three weeks. I followed up and still nothing. Unfortunately, rescheduling has been disabled in your website. Please advise me on what to do next.
Abu SusanSays
In your case, you do not need rescheduling. Come with your old letter on another date of your choice but ensure it is not a public holiday. Explain what happened to you. Because your appointment was in the past, he will let you in.
JYSays
Hello, could you please confirm if passports have been mailed out between April 8th and now? I am not able to track mine on Canada Post website because I lost my tracking details. This is my fault because I misplaced the tracking details. Please what other ways would you suggest to get my passport? When tracked on NIS website, I noticed the status changed to 'printed/issued' on Friday- 5th April. Please assist. Thank you.
Abu SusanSays
You have to wait until it gets to your mailing box if you misplaced your tracking number. The message on your status means, it has been produced, sent to the mailing room for documentation before dispatching at the post office.
Abu SusanSays
Use the passport number on your old expired passport. When you get to the Mission, the officer will help you with the number on the lost copy if you inform them.
OluwasegunSays
I tried using the passport number on the expired passport but I wasn't allowed to. It said the passport number is no longer associated to me.
OluwasegunSays
Hello, please I'm still expecting a response. Thank you so much.
Suaad OlosoSays
Hello, I have done my NIN in Nigeria but my first name and middle name was changed on the application by the agent. Can I do a name change at the embassy? And if so how much would it cost please

HenrySays
Hello I updated my NIN and checked this on the immigration website and it notes NIN and Passport MATCHED with all boxes checked green. I have done my capture on the 13th of June, and was advised to send an email. I also have sent the email to the Nigeria High Commission Ottawa: generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca.

Abu SusanSays
It depends on the backlog. They are treated accordingly, so I cannot give a date or timeframe.
AbubakarSays
Hello, I have completed the NIN registration from the accredited list on your website. The NIN and passport info matched on the immigration website for passport renewal. Do i still need to do anything else to validate NIN before i travel to ottawa for biometric capture or i should be good to go.

If they match, you are good to go!
AbubakarSays
I have completed the application and the earliest appointment i got is November. Am i able to come to the embassy sooner than that date. It is an urgent matter to get the passport as soon as possible. Thank you
FDSays
Hello, My sister and I are traveling to Ottawa next Monday, July 15th, specifically to renew our NINs and passports. Unfortunately, we can only stay for two days due to living outside Ottawa and the lack of NIN vendors in our area. Would it be possible to obtain our NINs there and then visit the embassy for the passport renewals within our limited timeframe? This situation is urgent, hence us travelling so quickly to Ottawa. My visa was recently denied due to an expiring passport (currently contesting the decision), and my sister's work permit is pending for the same reason. We have limited resources and are hoping for your assistance. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Abu SusanSays
Yes, you can get your NIN in Ottawa and renew your passport if your date of appointment is July 15
ToluSays
This needs to be updated to match the most recent one on instagram. The one at Flodden Way no longer exists.
Abu SusanSays
Its been updated.
HenrySays
Hello, I updated my NIN and have sent continuous reminders (at least 6 emails) to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca. As I need my passport for my upcoming exam and would be denied entry without it. As this is my means of identification. I did my capture 1 month ago, and was advised to send an email. Yet, till date, there's been no UPDATE to my NIN VERIFICATION on the track application page. It still notes pending NIN verification. Is there any way this can be expedited so as to avoid missing out on my exam. This would be greatly and immensely appreciated. Thank you.
SandraSays
Good morning, I can not find any list on your website to apply for my NIN. Please can you direct me to the right place? Thank you
