The Federal Government has announced an upward review of Nigerian Passport charges; effective from with the 1st of September 2024.

A statement by the spokesman of the Nigeria Immigration Service, DCI Kenneth Udo, says the increment is a part of government’s efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.

He said based on the review, a 32-page Passport booklet with 5-year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira will now be Fifty Thousand Naira; while a 64-page Passport booklet with 10-year validity which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00) will now cost One Hundred Thousand Naira

The statement further added that the fees remain unchanged for Nigerians in Diaspora.

While expressing regrets about any inconvenience the increase might cause prospective applicants; the immigration service assured Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times.
