The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has assured Nigerians that passport services across the country have not been suspended despite the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalisation Centre.
The service, in a post on X on Wednesday, said the migration was a strategic administrative enhancement aimed at improving passport production and security, rather than a disruption 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 said.
It explained that passport applicants can continue to visit their designated passport offices for biometric enrolment without any interruption.
“Applicants can still visit their local centres to complete biometric data capture seamlessly. This centralised production framework is designed to align with global security standards, streamline processing timelines, and significantly safeguard the integrity of the Nigerian passport,” the service stated.
