The Nigeria Immigration Service on Thursday announced an upward review of the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025.

‎According to a statement signed by the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the new fees will apply only to applications made within Nigeria.

‎“The review which only affect Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee thresholds for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement read.

‎However, the statement clarified that application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page, five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year passport.

‎The service said the adjustment was aimed at maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring accessibility for citizens.

‎This latest review comes barely a year after the Federal Government approved an earlier upward adjustment in August 2024, which took effect from September 1, 2024.

‎At the time, the 32-page, five-year passport booklet was increased from N35,000 to N50,000, while the 64-page, 10-year booklet went from N70,000 to N100,000.

‎The Immigration Service then explained that the increment was necessary to sustain the quality of the Nigerian passport and enhance service delivery.
