The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has asked Nigerians in the United Kingdom who completed their Contactless Passport Applications but are yet to receive their passports to submit their details for resolution.
The Service made the appeal in a post on its X handle on Sunday, directing affected applicants to complete a Contactless Passport Application Resolution Form.
“Are you in the United Kingdom and have completed your Contactless Passport Application but yet to receive your passport?
“Kindly submit your details using the form below.
“The Service values your patience and understanding as we are currently working to resolve all issues,” the NIS stated.
Applicants are required to provide their full names, contact details, application and reference numbers, as well as their location in the UK.
The form also asks applicants to indicate whether they sent a self-addressed envelope containing their old passports to the Nigerian High Commission and whether they have tracked their applications.
The NIS said it would collate and review complaints submitted through the form within three working days of submission.
The link to the resolution form is available on the Service’s X handle.
The development comes days after the NIS announced the deployment of a passport intervention team to four UK cities to assist Nigerians with new passport applications, renewals and pending applications.
The intervention exercise is scheduled to take place in London and Manchester from September 7 to 19, and in Aberdeen and Cardiff from September 21 to 26.
The Service said the initiative was part of efforts to clear the backlog of pending passport applications in the UK.
It added that Nigerians seeking new passports or renewals must complete their applications and make payments through the NIS Passport Application Portal before attending the intervention exercise.
