The Federal Government has announced an upward review of Nigerian passport fees, with the new charges scheduled to take effect from September 1, 2025.
According to a statement released on Thursday via the official X handle of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and signed by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, ACI Akinsola Akinlabi, the adjustment will only apply to passport applications processed within Nigeria.
Under the revised structure:
- A 32-page passport with five-year validity will now cost ₦100,000.
- A 64-page passport with ten-year validity will now cost ₦200,000.
- Previously, the 32-page, five-year passport was ₦50,000 (up from ₦35,000), while the 64-page, ten-year passport was ₦100,000 (increased from ₦70,000).
For Nigerians in the diaspora, passport application fees remain unchanged. Applicants abroad will continue to pay $150 for a 32-page, five-year passport and $230 for a 64-page, ten-year passport.
The NIS explained that the adjustment was necessary to maintain the quality, security, and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring more efficient service delivery.
