The Federal Government has announced an increase in the fees for obtaining a Nigerian Passport, starting from September 1, 2024. This was confirmed by Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) spokesperson DCI Kenneth Udo in a recent statement.
The revision is part of efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport. Under the new fee structure, the 32-page passport booklet with a five-year validity will rise from N35,000 to N50,000. Similarly, the 64-page passport booklet with a ten-year validity will increase from N70,000 to N100,000.
The statement clarified that the fee structure for Nigerians living abroad remains unchanged. Despite potential inconveniences, the NIS assured citizens of continued commitment to transparency and high-quality service delivery.
