The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has assured Nigerians that passport services remain fully operational across the country, dismissing concerns that the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalization Centre has disrupted processing
In a statement shared on its official X account on Wednesday, the service said the exercise is an administrative measure aimed at strengthening passport production and improving the security of Nigeria’s travel documents.
According to the NIS, the migration should not be interpreted as a suspension of passport services.
“The Nigeria Immigration Service wants to clarify that the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalization Centre is a strategic administrative enhancement, rather than a suspension of services,” the statement read.
The agency assured passport applicants that enrolment and biometric capture continue uninterrupted at passport centres nationwide.
“Applicants can still visit their local centers to complete biometric data capture seamlessly,” it stated.
