The Federal Government has approved a rise in the fees for Nigerian passports, effective September 1, 2024.

This decision was confirmed by DCI Kenneth Udo, spokesperson for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), who explained that the fee adjustment is necessary to uphold the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.

Under the new fee structure, the cost of a 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity will increase from ₦35,000 to ₦50,000. Similarly, the 64-page passport booklet, valid for 10 years, will see its price rise from ₦70,000 to ₦100,000.
