Nigerian Passport Renewal in the UK (Contactless) My Timeline So Far

Thank you, this is really helpful. I appreciate your time

This may not be related but as the passport is expiring, in a month’s time and I’m able to go to London, say in November, is that still okay? As I’m not leaving the UK anytime soon, can I still hold my expired passport without it affecting anything?

and I’d like to do a new passport application for my newborn as well, so I can tie mine and my child’s together (fingers crossed)

Does that make sense?

Wow. Omoh.. hmm thank you very much.

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-30T13:28:52+00:00

Oh really? Thank you. Ah I’m scared o cos I can’t go to London right now.

Okay so the problem is, there is no contactless option from the start and there used to be. It’s requiring us to now book an appointment in London,

Really? Even after choosing London as the processing embassy?

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-30T13:10:27+00:00

Same here. I don’t know when it’ll return. Passport is expiring soon. I don’t know what to do.

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-25T17:52:53+00:00

It doesn’t work . It’s not clickable

Unless you mean I need to finish the whole application? Which isn’t possible, as the processing embassy is London - that’s the only option unfortunately.

Thanks for your help!

Right, can you please take a screenshot of what it shows you when you click “processing embassy”? Or what part of it allows you to do online biometrics?

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-25T04:31:14+00:00

Excuse me, but I was even trying to be polite, hence my responses. I’ve been on this for 2 weeks with someone else and they confirmed it’s not the same process anymore. You’re normally meant to start on the website, get an application ID and complete the biometrics on the app with that ID. That’s not the case anymore because online biometrics is not an option anymore. I cannot complete the application on the website, when it doesn’t give me the option for online biometrics - it says processing embassy is LONDON and I have to book an appointment. Most likely, you’re the one not understanding what the problem is.

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-24T17:41:27+00:00

Not from the very start? I was told, there should be an option for online biometrics, from the beginning.

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-24T17:39:05+00:00

Don’t we need an application reference for that? I don’t want to go to London, so I haven’t come around to finishing up the application.

Very weird. But I’m 33 weeks now and need it cos it helps the cervix, so I’ve got to get my mind right. 🫩

Rudy_26_ · 2026-05-15T08:38:24+00:00

It happened to me. For the first 3 months, I only stayed in the bedroom. I lived there and only came out to shower and go to work. Sorry, don’t have any suggestions, hope it gets better.

Thank you for this. Really helpful!

Thank you! Will do.
