Lost My Nigerian Passport in the UK – Need Urgent Replacement Advice

I recently applied for a UK graduate visa and discovered my Nigerian passport is missing. I need it for a biometric appointment with TLScontact in Newcastle, so I’ve had to postpone the booking. I’ve learned that a UK provisional driving licence can serve as temporary ID, and I’m in the process of applying for one. Despite this, I’m still worried about my lost passport and need to replace it as soon as possible. Can anyone guide me on the exact steps to get a replacement Nigerian passport in the UK? Any advice on the right procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone managed to replace a lost Nigerian passport in the UK without delaying a biometric appointment?

I agree, going for the emergency passport service at the consulate helps keep your biometric appointment on schedule.

What Nigerian consulate location are you dealing with in the UK?

Relying on just a UK provisional driving licence might not meet TLScontact's strict ID requirements for a biometric session.

I'm skeptical delaying that biometric booking was the only path; other approved documents might have worked just as well.

Make sure say you carry proof of your embassy appointment and any valid alternate ID when you go for the TLScontact biometric.
