Notice
This is to inform the general public that henceforth the Consulate General of Nigeria (NY) will only accept duly prepaid overnight envelopes or those affixed with US Post Office overnight express mail stamp for purposes of returning processed documents to applicants. In this regard, the Immigration will no longer accept any other type of overnight return envelope.

We are pleased to announce that the Consulate is now set to issue the recently introduced Nigerian Passport using the machine readable passport (MRP) booklet.  As the new system is completely computerized, applicants are required to complete new forms to enable us process their applications.

In this regard, all applicants whose forms are already submitted based on the old system and prospective applicants are hereby required to take note of the following requirements for a new passport.

Personal interview of each applicant;

    • Evidence of residence (preferably copies of Phone or Electrical bills)
    • A passport photograph of the applicant to be taken by the Immigration Section here in New York (Consulate General of Nigeria).
    • Completion of a computerized application form.

You are required to comply with the new regulations to enable us serve you better.
