Following a public notice issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on routine maintenance of its Passport Digital Platform, which will result in service disruptions, the High Commission regrets to inform the public that the Passport Intervention Exercise earlier scheduled for Aberdeen and Swansea has been rescheduled.

As a result, the Aberdeen and Swansea exercises will now hold on the following dates:

The High Commission sincerely apologises for any inconvenience this adjustment may cause affected applicants. This change is necessary to ensure a smooth and effective passport capture process in light of the ongoing system maintenance by the Nigeria Immigration Service.

Applicants are kindly advised to take note of the revised dates and attend accordingly.

The High Commission appreciates the cooperation, patience, and understanding of the Nigerian community.
