The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), yesterday announced an upward review of the standard passport fees.
According to the Service, the decision to review the fees for obtaining a standard passport stems from the need to uphold the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport.
In an issued statement yesterday, signed by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, ACI A.S Akinlani, the NIS said the new fees will take effect from September 1, 2025.
“The review, which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, has now set new fee thresholds for 32-page passports with 5-year validity at ₦100,000, and 64-page passports with 10-year validity at ₦200,000.
“Meanwhile, Nigerian Passport Application fees made by Nigerians in Diaspora remain unchanged, at $150 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity, and $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity”, Akinlabi stated.
He added that the NIS reiterated its commitment to balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.
