Beginning on November 1st, 2024, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) will implement the “Contactless Passport Application and Issuance Process” as part of its ongoing efforts to better serve the Nigerian public and develop a workable system that satisfies international standards.

The launch will come in phases:

Phase 1: Canada – November 1, 2024
Phase 2: UK, USA, Italy – November 15, 2024
Phase 3: Nigeria and other countries – December 1, 2024

Without having to go to an NIS office, people will be able to apply to renew their international passports from the convenience of their homes.
