Federal Government increases passport fees by 40 per cent

The Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Nigerian Passport effective from September 1, 2024.

Spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), DCI Kenneth Udo, disclosed this in a statement yesterday, adding that the move was part of efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.

“Based on the review, a 32-page Passport booklet with 5-year validity previously charged at N35,000 will now be N50,000; while a 64-page Passport booklet with 10-year validity which was N70,000.00 will be N100,000 only. However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora,” he said.

While expressing regrets about any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; the NIS assured Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
