Key facts

  • The Nigeria High Commission is the Nigerian high commission in London; Nigeria may also run consulates general in other cities in the United Kingdom for regional consular services.
  • Visa and passport applications are frequently processed through a designated application centre (e.g. VFS Global or BLS International) rather than by mail to the high commission — check the official website first.
  • Include a full return address so the mission can reply, and never mail cash; pay any fees the way the mission specifies.
  • Send passports and original documents only when the mission asks for them by mail, and use a trackable method; otherwise send certified copies.
  • PostPal prints and mails your letter for you, so you can mail from anywhere without a printer or a trip to the post office.

How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm your service is handled by mail

    Visa and passport applications for many countries are processed through a designated application centre (such as VFS Global or BLS International) or a regional consulate general — not by mail to the high commission. Check the Nigerian high commission's official website (linked in the sources below) so your documents reach the right place.

  2. 2

    Prepare your letter or documents

    Include any required forms and copies, and add your full return address so the mission can reply. Don't enclose cash — pay fees the way the mission specifies. Send certified copies rather than originals unless originals are specifically requested.

  3. 3

    First line: Nigeria High Commission. Then the street: 9 Northumberland Avenue. Then the city line: London WC2N 5BX.
