Nigerian Passport Renewal in London
A valid Nigerian passport is your ticket to everything: flying home, banking, visas and proving your identity abroad. Renewing it from the UK no longer means endless trips and guesswork. Nurud Travels walks you through every step — from online application to passport in hand.
How Nigerian passport renewal from the UK works
Passport applications for Nigerians abroad are processed by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) through the official online portal. Renewals, corrections and fresh applications all begin online, after which you attend a biometric appointment and have the finished passport delivered.
- Online application — complete the NIS form accurately, with the correct passport type and duration (5 years or 10 years).
- Document upload — passport photo, BVN/NIN details, and proof required by the immigration service.
- Payment — pay the applicable renewal fee safely through the official channel.
- Biometric appointment — attend your UK-facing embassy or partner appointment to capture fingerprints and photo.
- Dispatch — your new passport is printed and dispatched to your UK address.

Common questions about renewing from the UK
How long does a Nigerian passport renewal take?
Once your application is approved and biometrics are captured, production and dispatch usually take a few weeks. Delays are most common when documents are rejected, which is why accuracy at the start matters. Our full walkthrough is covered in the passport renewal guide.
Do I need my NIN or BVN to renew my passport?
The NIS generally requires your National Identification Number as part of the application. If you do not have one, sort out your NIN/BVN enrolment before starting.
Can I travel with less than six months on my passport?
Many destinations, including Nigeria's neighbours, require six months of validity. If your passport is running low, plan your renewal early and pair it with your flights to Lagos.
