The Federal Government has announced an increase in the fees for obtaining Nigerian passports, effective from September 1, 2024.
This was revealed by the spokesperson of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), DCI Kenneth Udo, in a statement on Wednesday.
According to him, the fee adjustment is part of the government’s efforts to uphold the quality and security of the Nigerian Standard Passport.

Udo said, “Based on the review, a 32-page Passport booklet with 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only; while a 64-page Passport booklet with 10-year validity which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00) will be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only,” the statement reads.
“However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora.
“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.”
