The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a hike in passport fees, beginning from September 1, 2025, doubling the cost for applicants within Nigeria.

The new fee structure sets the 32-page passport with a five-year validity at ₦100,000 and the 64-page passport with a 10-year validity at ₦200,000.

According to a statement by NIS Public Relations Officer, ACI A.S. Akinlabi, the fee adjustment aims to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport while aligning with international standards.

“The review, which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now sets a new fee threshold for 32-page passports with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page passports with 10-year validity at N200,000.

“Meanwhile, Nigerian Passport Application fees made by Nigerians in diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page passport with 5-year validity and $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity,” Akinlabi said.

The Nigerian Immigration Service also reiterated its commitment to what it called balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure Passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.
