All foreign residents must report changes in the particulars of their Alien Registration Card within fourteen (14) days of the occurence of such changes, including:
- Address change (even if only change of unit in same building)
- Name, civil status, nationality changes
- Passport changes, including passport number, date of issuance, or expiration date changes
- Detail changes (including name change) of organisation for D1, D2 and D4 visa holders

The changes may be recorded on the back of your Alien Registration Card (ARC) or simply on your immigration record.

Failure to report can result in the imposition of a fine. The amount of the fine will be determine on a 'case-by-case basis'. For many the initial fine is W100,000 - it may also be calculated on a daily basis.
