The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has introduced a new digital platform to streamline the application process for the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Automated Card (CERPAC).
The portal, accessible at https://cerpac.immigration.gov.ng, will allow applicants to complete and submit their CERPAC applications entirely online, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and reducing processing delays.
According to the NIS, the initiative aims to enhance transparency, boost efficiency, and improve the overall user experience for expatriates and businesses engaging foreign personnel in Nigeria.
The move aligns with the Federal Government’s ongoing digital transformation agenda, which seeks to modernize public services, promote ease of doing business, and strengthen compliance within Nigeria’s immigration system.
Officials say the platform will also incorporate features for real-time tracking, automated notifications, and secure payment options, ensuring a more seamless process for applicants and employers alike.
The NIS advised all prospective CERPAC applicants to access the portal via the official link and follow the outlined procedures to avoid fraudulent intermediaries.
