Note: ID Wizard is not affiliated with any government authority, including the Nigeria Immigration Service. Online passport applications require a NIN (National Identification Number) for biometric integration, and a visit to an NIS office for biometric capture. Nigerian passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to EU/Schengen countries — the same 35×45mm photo format is required for Schengen visa applications. Always verify current requirements on the official NIS portal (immigration.gov.ng) before applying.
