The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has said that it is automating passport application process to reduce the stress and delay Nigerians experience while applying for passports.
NIS Acting Comptroller General, Caroline Adepoju, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Thursday, said the Service is trying to eliminate human interface in the process of passport application.
The Acting Comptroller General, however, reminded Nigerians that because the passport is a security document, it will take some time before they are issued, adding that there are a number of processes like carrying out security checks, address verification, among others.
She advised Nigerians to always start passport renewal application six months before expiration, adding that fresh applicants don’t need to wait till they need the passport to start application.
