  "title": "Application for Nigeria Standard Passport (Form C1) — Adult",
  "description": "Apply for a Nigerian standard (e-)passport through the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)'s \"Form C1 — Application for Nigeria Standard Passport\", scoped to the Adult applicant pathway (the specimen's own header prints a shared ADULT/MINOR toggle, but carries no distinct fields for the Minor pathway beyond that single toggle; Minor-specific requirements, if any exist on a fuller specimen, are left as a future-cycle candidate rather than assumed here), closing Nigeria's Passport vertical (5 of 6, alongside Business Formation, Taxes, Visa, and National ID; continuing the Nigeria research thread from GOV-2567/GOV-2569, where this candidate was first identified and left as backlog). This specimen is a flat, print-and-hand-fill PDF (0 AcroForm widgets, confirmed via `pdfjs-dist` `getAnnotations()` across all 6 pages) distributed by the Nigeria High Commission, London as part of a bundled \"lost passport requirements\" packet (HTTP 200, `application/pdf`, 170,446 bytes, `Last-Modified: Tue, 06 Jun 2023`, `sha256:85d970ee602c3bb9d98e1fd850541a8d63d9fd2f5c45c5a6b2281cf98bc317a4`), independently re-fetched and re-extracted this cycle. Form C1 itself occupies only the bundle's first page; the same PDF also bundles three further, distinct documents disclosed here rather than silently dropped: a \"Form of Undertaking and Guarantee\" (Form P/21, a guarantor affidavit with its own Parts I–III covering guarantor particulars, assets, an overseas-travel-specific declaration, and a notarized undertaking/indemnity), a \"Statutory Declaration of Lost Passport\" (a notarized affidavit specific to the Nigeria High Commission London's own lost-passport process), and a \"Statutory Declaration of Age\" (a notarized affidavit for cases where no birth registry existed at the time of the applicant's birth). Per this registry's established companion-document convention, none of these three is modelled as this schema's own `fields[]` (each is a separately executed, separately signed/notarized document with its own signatory), but each is captured as a conditionally-required `documents[]` entry rather than omitted. This schema's 40 `fields[]` entries cover Form C1's own applicant-particulars section (identity, physical description, next-of-kin, and a bounded 4-row \"particulars of children to be endorsed on Mother's passport\" table, matching this registry's established bounded-repeating-group convention) plus a `reasonForApplication` field (First Issue / Re-issue / Damaged / Lost / Change of data / Dual National) — modelled at its full printed enum breadth rather than narrowed to first-time-adult only, since the specimen itself is structured as one form serving all six reasons and narrowing would contradict this registry's source-fidelity principle. That checkbox set is disclosed as appearing only within the specimen's \"For Official Use Only\"/receipt-counterfoil portion of page 1 (duplicated across two near-identical receipt blocks), not the applicant-facing top section — included here anyway as core applicant data (the office transcribes the applicant's own stated reason onto the receipt) rather than excluded as pure office administrivia. The specimen's final office-only blocks (authority code, acquisition batch number, application form number, fee amount collected, officer/control-officer signatures, post-issuance passport-number recording) are excluded, consistent with this registry's established \"for official use only\" exclusion convention. 5 `documents[]` entries capture a caution/false-declaration acknowledgement (quoted verbatim from the specimen's own header warning), a passport fee payment (no fixed amount printed on this specimen), the Form P/21 guarantor undertaking, and the two lost-passport/age statutory declarations (each conditionally required).

    "notes": "GovSchema Standard Research cycle GOV-2577, continuing Nigeria's research thread from GOV-2567 (parent) and GOV-2569 (National ID, 4/6), where this candidate (NIS Form C1 via the Nigeria High Commission London mirror) was first identified and left as backlog. Independently re-fetched the cited source this cycle: HTTP 200, `application/pdf`, 170,446 bytes, `Last-Modified: Tue, 06 Jun 2023 05:55:47 GMT`, `sha256:85d970ee602c3bb9d98e1fd850541a8d63d9fd2f5c45c5a6b2281cf98bc317a4` — matching the byte count already recorded in CATALOG.md's GOV-2569 update exactly. `pdfjs-dist` (legacy build, v3, `require`'d via `createRequire`) was used for `page.getAnnotations()` (confirming 0 Widget annotations across all 6 pages — a flat, print-and-hand-fill bundle) and `page.getTextContent()` (row-grouped by rounded y-coordinate, sorted left-to-right by x) to read the full printed text of every page directly; every field in this schema is derived from Form C1's own page-1 printed labels and row/column position, since there are no digital field names to cross-check against. The PDF's misleading filename (`LostReqForm.pdf`) reflects its actual scope: a bundled 'lost passport requirements' packet assembled by the London mission, not a form named after loss — Form C1 itself (page 1) serves all six printed reasons for application, and the bundle's pages 4-5 are London-mission-specific companion affidavits for the lost-passport and no-birth-registry scenarios specifically, not part of the generic NIS Form C1 itself. Scoping/judgment calls (see VERIFICATION.md §Access notes for full disclosure): (1) this schema models the Adult applicant pathway only, per this issue's own framing — the specimen's shared ADULT/MINOR header toggle carries no distinct printed fields for a Minor applicant beyond the toggle itself, so a Minor-specific schema is left as a future candidate rather than fabricated; (2) `reasonForApplication` is modelled at its full 6-value printed breadth (not narrowed to first-time-adult only), since the specimen is one form serving all six reasons and each is printed with equal footing — narrowing would contradict source fidelity, though the field is disclosed as appearing only within the specimen's 'For Official Use Only'/receipt-counterfoil section, not the applicant-facing top section; (3) Form P/21 (the guarantor undertaking), the Statutory Declaration of Lost Passport, and the Statutory Declaration of Age are each modelled as a `documents[]` entry (not as this schema's own `fields[]`), since each is a separately executed, separately signed/notarized instrument with its own signatory (a guarantor or declarant, not the passport applicant) — disclosed rather than silently dropped, consistent with this registry's companion-document convention (cf. `rw/dgie`, VN companion-form precedent); (4) no photograph requirement is modelled, since the extracted text of all 6 pages contains no printed mention of a photograph, unlike this registry's other NG/NIS specimen (`ng/nis/application-for-visa-entry-permit`), which does print one — a real-world gap flagged here for a future verification cycle rather than assumed. Conformance run: 2 valid mock scenarios (0 errors each) and 5 mutation-control fixtures (exactly 1 error each) using a disposable validate_instance.mjs script (not committed), mirroring the approach used by the Visa sibling. See VERIFICATION.md for the full write-up."
