FG Raises Passport Fees to ₦100,000 and ₦200,000 for 32- and 64-Page Booklets

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced another upward review of passport application fees, with new rates set to take effect from September 1, 2025.

In a statement on Thursday, the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, said the new fees apply only to applications made within Nigeria.

Under the revised structure, the 32-page passport with five-year validity will now cost ₦100,000, while the 64-page passport with ten-year validity will go for ₦200,000.

However, fees for Nigerians applying abroad remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page booklet and $230 for the 64-page booklet.

According to the NIS, the adjustment is aimed at “maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring accessibility for citizens.”

The development marks the second major price increase in just one year. In August 2024, the federal government raised the cost of the 32-page booklet from ₦35,000 to ₦50,000, and the 64-page version from ₦70,000 to ₦100,000.
