The Nigeria Immigration Service has announced a hike in the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, with the new rates set to begin on September 1, 2025.
In a statement on Thursday, the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, said the new fees will only apply to applications made within Nigeria.
“The review, which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now sets a new fee threshold for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement read.
The immigration service explained that passport applications made by Nigerians in the diaspora will not be affected. Fees remain at $150 for the 32-page, five-year validity and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year validity.
The agency said the adjustment became necessary to sustain the quality and security features of the Nigerian passport while keeping it accessible to citizens.
