The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has assured Nigerians that passport services remain fully operational across the country despite the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalisation Centre.
In a statement posted on its official X account on Wednesday, the Service clarified that the migration is a strategic administrative upgrade aimed at improving passport production and enhancing security, not a suspension of services.
“The recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalisation Centre is a strategic administrative enhancement, rather than a suspension of services,” the NIS stated.
The Service explained that passport applicants can continue to visit their designated passport offices for biometric enrolment without any disruption.
According to the NIS, the centralised production framework is designed to align with global security standards, streamline passport processing, and strengthen the integrity of the Nigerian passport.
It further assured the public that passport capturing centres nationwide remain fully operational, while the production and distribution of passport booklets are continuing within the standard processing timeline.
“Citizens can rest assured that capturing centres remain fully operational, with physical booklets processed efficiently and returned to local commands within standard delivery windows,” the statement added.
