What you can settle from North Carolina
Distance matters less for this half of the paperwork:
- 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
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
