The Federal Government has officially announced an upward review of passport fees for Nigerians residing within the country, effective from September 1st, 2024.

This decision is part of the government’s broader efforts to maintain and enhance the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, ensuring that it meets international standards and continues to serve as a credible identification document for Nigerian citizens.

The announcement was made in a statement released on Wednesday by DCI KT Udo, the Service Public Relations Officer at the Service Headquarters of the Nigeria Immigration Service, as posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the NIS.

Under the revised pricing structure, the cost of passport booklets will increase significantly. Specifically, the fee for obtaining a 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity will rise from N35,000 to N50,000.

Similarly, the cost of a 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity, previously priced at N70,000, will now be set at N100,000.
