The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced an upward review of the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025.

According to a statement released on Thursday by the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the revised fees will apply only to applications processed within Nigeria.

Under the new structure, a 32-page passport with five-year validity will now cost N100,000, while a 64-page passport with 10-year validity will cost N200,000.

“The review, which only affects passport applications made in Nigeria, now sets new fee thresholds for 32-page passports with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page passports with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement noted.

However, passport application fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page (5 years) and $230 for the 64-page (10 years).

The NIS explained that the adjustment was necessary to sustain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while maintaining accessibility for citizens.
