Passport Application from Nigeria
Hi Guys,
New here, please be easy with me😄. I have 2 questions: 1. I have just applied for my First British Adult Passport from Nigeria(citizenship through naturalization) I know the website states at least 14weeks to process(sigh) but has anyone ever received passport earlier? 2. My daughters british passports need to be renewed. Can I as their mother renew their passports from within the UK whilst they are in Nigeria? i.e renew within UK as opposed to an overseas application or do they need to be in the UK at the time of renewal? Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you. |
Re: Passport Application from Nigeria
1. I would count on 6-12 months. If you get your passport sooner then that would be a bonus.
2. Your children should be in the UK as well. Their renewals are likely to be processed quicker than your first time application if applying from Nigeria. |

Thank you for the reply.
6-12 months is such a long time... I guess I will have to renew the children's from Nigeria as well because the passports have already expired. Thanks again |

Thanks again Just an update on my application for my first adult passport (Naturalisation, naturalised on 2012, but foolishly didn't apply for passport before moving back to Nigeria)from Nigeria: Date Application received in Durham- 17th Oct 2017 Date of Interview in Lagos, Nigeria- 27th November 2017 Does this mean passport will arrive soon? Can anyone advise how soon after interview I can expect to receive passport? Thanks |

Things appear to be moving quickly. Being a British citizen by naturalisation rather than by descent appears to be in your favour. Hopefully you won't be waiting much longer.

Hi,
So I thought to give a final update on my application. I applied for a first time Adult Passport from Nigeria. I naturalised in 2012 but left for Nigeria without getting passport. Application received in Durham: 17th October Date of Interview: 27th Nov Date supporting documents received: 26th December Date British Passport received: 27th December The Passport Office advise that applications from Nigeria can take at least 14weeks. My application took 10 weeks in total. Thanks Brit in Paris... |
Re: Passport Application from Nigeria
No worries. Did you apply to renew your daughters' passports? If so, how are they progressing?

So sorry I'm only replying. So I moved back to the UK first and applied to renew my girls' passports as overseas renewals as they're still in Nigeria. The website said it should take up to 8 weeks. Well it took 1 week in total. I posted the application on a Monday, passports were printed on the Wednesday and were back with them in Nigeria the following Monday. I was amazed at the speed.

Hi guyz,
Similar to her situation, my mother happened to apply for her first time British passport (she was born in the UK) but applied from Nigeria and she did her passport interview last week Wednesday. I would like to know how long it could take for it to be issued and sent and also if all her children could automatically get British Citizenships through her. Thanks |

Re: Passport Application from Nigeria
Thank you so much for your response and yes she was born after before that time
And do we the children need to wait till she gets her British passport before we could apply for ours? thanks |
