Nigeria’s E-Passports Now Seamlessly Verified Worldwide After ICAO Directory Update
The Nigeria Immigration Service has imported the country’s signing certificates into the ICAO Public Key Directory. Nigerian electronic passports can now be automatically verified by border control systems in all member states. The Comptroller-General completed the process during a ceremony at ICAO headquarters in Montreal, closing the verification gap that had led to manual checks and secondary screening for some travellers abroad. The Ministry of Interior coordinated the exercise, reflecting the government’s commitment to secure digital identity management and smoother international travel for Nigerians.
