Abuja, Nigeria \u2013 August 29, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)<\/strong> has officially announced an upward revision of Nigerian passport fees<\/strong>, with the new rates set to begin September 1, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The update, communicated in a press release signed by ACI AS Akinlabi<\/strong>, Service Public Relations Officer at NIS Headquarters, Abuja, is part of broader efforts to improve service quality and operational sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New Nigerian Passport Fee Structure for 2025<\/h3>\n

According to the NIS, the revised passport costs<\/strong> apply only to applications processed within Nigeria<\/strong> and are structured as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u20a6100,000<\/strong> for a 32-page passport<\/strong> with five-year validity<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • \u20a6200,000<\/strong> for a 64-page passport<\/strong> with ten-year validity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The NIS emphasized that this revision is necessary to maintain the quality and integrity<\/strong> of Nigerian travel documents and to ensure sustainable, efficient service delivery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    No Change for Nigerians in Diaspora<\/h3>\n

    The Service clarified that Nigerians applying from abroad<\/strong> will continue to pay the current rates:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • $150<\/strong> for a 32-page passport (five years)<\/li>\n
    • $230<\/strong> for a 64-page passport (ten years)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This differentiation, the agency explained, is to ensure fairness based on processing and delivery logistics, while still maintaining global standards<\/strong> for Nigerian passport holders.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe Service reiterates its commitment to balancing quality service delivery with the need to ensure passport services are accessible to all Nigerians.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      This fee adjustment comes as part of a larger reform initiative aimed at enhancing service efficiency, upgrading operational standards, and ensuring the durability and global acceptance<\/strong> of Nigerian passports.<\/p>\n
