The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced an increase in the fees for obtaining a Nigerian passport, effective from September 1, 2024. The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) spokesperson, DCI Kenneth Udo, made this known in a statement, explaining that the decision is part of efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
According to the revised fee structure, the cost of a 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity has been raised from N35,000 to N50,000. Additionally, the 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity will now cost N100,000, up from the previous N70,000.
The NIS emphasized that the fees for passport services in the diaspora remain unchanged.
While the NIS expressed regret for any inconvenience this increase may cause applicants, it reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring transparency and delivering quality services to Nigerians.
