Nigeria Immigration Service Offices: Full Directory

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) runs a state command in every state and the FCT, plus 8 zonal headquarters, 41 passport offices, key land border posts, 5 international airport units, and 4 training institutions. Use the address and email of the office closest to you for passport collection, residence permits, or border enquiries. Apply for a Nigerian passport online at passport.immigration.gov.ng first; physical office attendance is for biometrics and collection. The service is led by Comptroller-General of Immigration Kemi Nanna Nandap, appointed in 2024.

What the NIS does

1. Controls who enters and leaves Nigeria.
2. Issues Nigerian passports and travel documents (e-Passport since 2007; enhanced e-Passport rolled out from 2019).
3. Issues residence permits (CERPAC) to foreigners.
4. Patrols Nigeria’s land, sea and air borders.
5. Enforces immigration laws and the Nigeria Visa Policy 2025.

For passport fees, current waiting times, and online applications, the official channels are immigration.gov.ng, the application portal at passport.immigration.gov.ng, and the tracking portal at track.immigration.gov.ng. Booking dates and fees changed in September 2025; confirm both before paying. Foreigners apply for visas at evisa.immigration.gov.ng, and passengers entering or departing Nigeria complete a digital landing or exit card at lecard.immigration.gov.ng before travel (required since 1 May 2025).
