What you can settle from Georgia
Several of the things that bring people here need no counter at all:
- Nigerian visa, applied for online, then lodged at an external centre
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
- Consular registration, a form that costs nothing and takes minutes
The eleven procedure guides
What each document needs, who issues it and how long it takes:
- Renewing a Nigerian passport in the United States
- Nigerian visas: the consulate is not where you apply
- Getting a NIN from the United States
- Emergency Travel Certificate: flying home without a passport
- Holding two passports
- Birth records and attestation
- Police clearance certificate
- Declaring your date of birth
- Burial transit permit
- Consent letters for minors
- Registering with your consulate as a Nigerian abroad
Marietta, Lawrenceville, Stone Mountain and Snellville all sit inside the metro. The constraint here is not distance, it is that the counter works three days a week.
