It takes only 2-3 weeks to receive a full validity passport with 52 pages and you should plan ahead before your passport expires. Emergency passports are limited to 12 pages, normally valid for only one year and cannot be extended. Emergency passports are issued when there is a need for immediate travel. You should first schedule a passport appointment using the links below. If necessary you can request a limited emergency passport on the day of your appointment. If you need to travel prior to the day of your scheduled appointment, please email LagosACS@state.gov or AbujaACS@state.gov and include a copy of your travel itinerary, the date of your scheduled appointment and a description of your emergency.
As with full validity passports, you must appear at the Embassy or Consulate in person to apply. The application process and fee is the same as if you were applying for a regular passport.
