The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has confirmed that passport services remain accessible across the nation despite the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalization Centre.
The NIS gave the assurance in an X post on Wednesday following online reports claiming the service had stopped printing of passports in Kano.
According to the service, the recent migration is a strategic administrative enhancement aimed at improving passport production and security, rather than a disruption of services.
The post reads, “The Nigeria Immigration Service wants to clarify that the recent migration of additional passport branches to the Central Personalization Centre is a strategic administrative enhancement, rather than a suspension of services.
“Applicants can still visit their local centers to complete biometric data capture seamlessly.
“This centralized production framework is designed to align with global security standards, streamline processing timelines, and significantly safeguard the integrity of the Nigerian passport.
“Citizens can be rest assured that capturing centers remain fully operational, with physical booklets processed efficiently and returned to local commands within standard delivery windows.”
