The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has explained a seamless process for the Contactless Passport Application System, whereby Nigerians living abroad can now renew their passports without physically visiting an embassy or high commission for biometric enrolment. The system enables eligible Nigerians in the diaspora to apply for passport renewal, complete biometric enrolment, and track their applications remotely. The NIS explained the process in a video shared on its official X account on Saturday, while urging Nigerians to use only its authorised channels when applying for passports. Eligible Nigerians living abroad can complete the renewal process by applying online through the official NIS passport portal at passport.immigration.gov.ng, selecting “Apply from Outside Nigeria,” clicking on “Apply for Renewal/Re-issue,” and creating an account and verifying their identity using their National Identification Number (NIN) and data.
