The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced the expansion of its Contactless Biometric Passport Application System to several countries in the Americas. The NIS Headquarters in Abuja confirmed that the service under the Comptroller General is rolling out the next stage of implementation across Brazil, the United States, Mexico, and Jamaica this month.
The contactless system, which enables Nigerians living abroad to renew their passports without physically visiting passport offices for biometric enrollment, went live in the United States on April 11. Mexico, Brazil, and Jamaica are scheduled to gain access on April 14.
The application system is currently available on the Google Play Store as “NIS Mobile” and allows passport renewal without in-person biometric enrollment. An iOS version for Apple devices is under development and will be released soon, alongside an enhanced version of the Android app to improve user experience and accessibility.
