The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has released updates to its passport tracking system to improve how applicants monitor the status of their passports.
The update was announced in a post uploaded on the Service’s official X account on Thursday, where NIS explained that many passports already produced had remained uncollected, resulting in rising complaints from applicants.

As part of the update, a new status tagged “PRODUCED (PASSPORT PRODUCED, READY FOR COLLECTION)” has been added to the tracking platform to notify applicants when their passports are available for pickup.
The improved system allows applicants to clearly track whether their passports are ready for physical collection or have been produced but are yet to be delivered through courier services.
The Nigeria Immigration Service said the update reflects its commitment to running an efficient passport system that aligns with global best practices.
