Breaking: FG Reviews Passport Application Fees

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a review of the fees for standard passport applications, effective September 1.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, explained that the adjustment applies only to applications processed within Nigeria.

According to the revised structure, a 32-page passport with five years’ validity will now cost N100,000, while a 64-page passport with 10 years’ validity will be issued at N200,000.

Nigerians living abroad will not be affected by the changes, as their current fees remain unchanged at $150 for a 32-page passport (five years’ validity) and $230 for a 64-page passport (10 years’ validity).

Akinlabi noted that the review is aimed at maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport, while also ensuring that service delivery remains accessible to citizens.
