The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has urged 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 NIS made the appeal in a post shared on its official X handle on Sunday, directing affected applicants to complete the Contactless Passport Application Resolution Form.
The Service said the measure was aimed at addressing cases involving applicants who had completed the process but had not yet received their passports.
It stated, “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.
According to the form, applicants are required to provide their full names, contact details, application and reference numbers, as well as their location in the United Kingdom.
They are also asked to indicate whether they sent a self-addressed envelope with their old passports to the Nigerian High Commission and whether they have tracked their passport applications.
The link to the form can be found on the Immigration X handle.
NIS said complaints submitted through the form would be collated and reviewed after three working days from the date of submission.
The development comes days after the NIS announced the deployment of a passport intervention team to four UK cities to attend to Nigerians seeking new passports, renewals and resolution of pending applications.
The intervention exercise is scheduled to hold in London and Manchester from September 7 to 19, and in Aberdeen and Cardiff from September 21 to 26.
The Service had said the exercise was part of efforts to address pending passport applications in the UK.
It also said applicants seeking new passports or renewals were required to apply and make payment through the NIS Passport Application portal ahead of the exercise.
