Starting from April 2025, passport processing and issuance will be centralized in Abuja. Only Nigerians aged 18 and above, or those renewing expired passports, will be eligible to apply for contactless passports from home. First-time applicants will still need to register their biometrics at a passport center. The new process, aimed at reducing human interaction and preventing exploitation by middlemen, was announced by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.
