Untold Reason Federal Government Increases Passport Fees

In a bid to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, the Federal Government has approved an upward review of passport fees.

The new Nigerian passport fees are set to take effect from September 1, 2024, according to an official press release issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

Under the revised fee structure, the cost of the 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity will rise from N35,000 to N50,000. Additionally, the 64-page passport booklet with a 10-year validity will see its fee increase from N70,000 to N100,000.

The NIS clarified that this adjustment in fees does not affect Nigerians living abroad, as the charges for passport issuance in the diaspora remain unchanged.

The service, while acknowledging the inconvenience the fee increase might cause prospective applicants, assured the public of its unwavering commitment to transparency and the delivery of quality services at all times. The NIS emphasized that the decision was made to ensure the continued integrity of the Nigerian passport.

The press release on the increase in the Nigerian passport fees was signed by the Service Public Relations Officer, DCI KT Udo, from the NIS headquarters in Abuja..
