The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a sharp increase in the cost of obtaining the country’s standard passport, effective September 1, 2025.
In a statement on Thursday, the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, said the new fees will apply only to applications processed within Nigeria.
Under the revised structure, a 32-page passport with five-year validity will cost ₦100,000, while a 64-page passport valid for 10 years will cost ₦200,000.
“The review, which only affects passport applications made in Nigeria, now sets a new fee threshold for 32-page passports at ₦100,000 and 64-page passports at ₦200,000,” the statement read.
Fees for Nigerians applying abroad remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page, five-year passport, and $230 for a 64-page, 10-year passport.
The NIS explained that the adjustment was aimed at safeguarding the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring continued access for citizens.
