The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved an upward review of the cost of obtaining the country’s passport.

In a statement issued on Thursday, August 28, 2025, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announced that the new fees will take effect from September 1, 2025.

According to the NIS, the revised fees are as follows:

  • 32-page passport (5-year validity): N100,000
  • 64-page passport (10-year validity): N200,000

The Service clarified that the new charges apply only to applications made in Nigeria. Fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged at $150 for the 32-page, five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year passport.

Explaining the review, the NIS said the adjustment was necessary to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring continued accessibility for citizens.

This marks the second increase in two years. In August 2024, the government raised the cost of a 32-page, five-year passport from N35,000 to N50,000, and the 64-page, 10-year passport from N70,000 to N100,000.
