I am a Nigerian living in the UK. My Nigerian International Passport will expire this October and I have been trying for two weeks now to apply online to renew it to no avail. I have consistently been stuck on the page requiring me to upload my passport picture. Each time I browse my picture, it gets stuck on that page and doesn't progress to the next page. I have been trying this severally with the same result. Very Frustrating!! Where do I go from there?

Paul Oyinloye

The British High Commission Nigeria London 9 Northumberland Avenue, London WC2N 5BX Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Paul Oyinloye. I am writing to formally inquire about the status of my international passport renewal application submitted through the contactless process. On 6th August 2025, my wife and I jointly submitted our applications via the online platform. We sent both our passports together in a single envelope, along with the respective payment for the renewal fees. Although both applications were submitted simultaneously and paid for concurrently, my wife’s application was processed and approved within a few days, and she has since received her new passport along with the expired one. In contrast, my application remains pending, despite my regular monitoring of its status. I am concerned about the delay and would appreciate any clarification regarding the current status of my application. I also wish to confirm that my expired passport has been safely received and is being processed. For your reference, my application details are as follows: - Name: Paul Oyinloye - Application Number: 19864725 - Reference Number: 1000175450463828 I kindly request your prompt assistance in providing an update on my application. I look forward to your response. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours faithfully,
