The Federal Government has announced an increase in the fees for Nigerian passports as part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport. The new fees will take effect from September 1, 2024.
According to a statement released by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the cost of a 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity has been increased from Thirty-Five Thousand Naira (₦35,000) to Fifty Thousand Naira (₦50,000). Additionally, the fee for a 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity has been raised from Seventy Thousand Naira (₦70,000) to One Hundred Thousand Naira (₦100,000).
The NIS clarified that these changes apply only within Nigeria, as the fees for passport issuance in the diaspora remain unchanged.
“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants, it assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times,” the statement read in part.
