New Immigration Service Tracker Provides Real-Time Updates On Passport Readiness

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced the rollout of an enhanced passport tracking feature, following rising public clamour over delays in passport issuance and collection.
According to the update posted by the Service on X, the feature is intended to give applicants clearer visibility on when their passports are ready for pickup or courier delivery, thereby reducing uncertainty around processing timelines.
The Service confirmed that the new tracker status it introduced will help applicants distinguish between production delays and passports that are ready but yet to be retrieved.
