What you can settle from Mississippi
None of the following requires an appointment or a journey:
- National Identification Number, issued by the NIMC and needed before any passport application
- Passport application form, filled in online before you book anything
- Nigerian visa, applied for online, then lodged at an external centre
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
The eleven procedure guides
One guide per document, with what each one asks for and where it is actually issued:
- Nigerian passport renewal
- Applying for a Nigerian visa
- Getting a NIN from the United States

Gulfport and Hattiesburg are a little further. The consular days are what decide whether the drive is worth it.
