FG Increases Nigerian Passport Fees, Sets Date For Implementation

Effective September 1, 2024, the Federal Government has raised the fees associated with obtaining a Nigerian passport.

The increase is a component of the government’s efforts to uphold the integrity and quality of the Nigerian Standard Passport, according to a statement from DCI Kenneth Udo, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Immigration Service.

He said that 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 message goes on to say that the fees for Nigerians living abroad are still the same.

The NIS assured Nigerians of its unwavering commitment to transparency and high-quality service delivery at all times, while also apologizing for any inconvenience this increase may have caused potential applicants.
