FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVES AN UPWARD REVIEW OF NIGERIAN PASSPORT FEES TO ENSURE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY

As part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the
Nigerian Standard Passport, the Federal Government has approved an
upward review of the fees for the Passport effective from 1st
September, 2024.
2. Based on the review, 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 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.
However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora.
3. 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.
