According to Wikipedia and Personal experience,  An applicant who wishes to obtain the Nigeria standard e-passport is expected to come for the e-passport interview with a local government letter of identification, birth certificate, or age declaration, and a recently taken passport-sized color photograph, which must show applicant’s full face down to the neck, without any discolouration.

Official Passport In Nigeria

The official e-passport is primarily reserved for certain classes of government officials and Nigerian diplomats.

The official passport is obtainable through same processes as the Standard and seekers are to come for collection with a letter of identification issued from the appropriate State Government, Federal Government, Ministry/organization, a marriage certificate when applicable, a letter of appointment and a letter showing a new designation/promotion.

Similarities Between Standard And Official Passport

Whether it is a Standard or Official passport-type, an application form, acknowledgement slip, payment receipt and two recent photographs are required and if it is done online, the applicant should print out a copy of the duly completed and signed application form to the application office for further processing.
