The Federal Government has approved an increase in the fees for Nigerian passports, which will take effect from September 1, 2025.

In a statement released on Thursday, the spokesperson of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), A.S. Akinlabi, explained that the adjustment was made to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.

Under the new fee structure, applications made within Nigeria will now cost:

• ₦100,000 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity
• ₦200,000 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity

However, fees for passport applications by Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at:

• $150 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity
• $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity

The NIS assured Nigerians of its continued commitment to providing quality service while ensuring accessibility for all.
