The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a significant increase in the fees for obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025.
This fee revision was confirmed on Thursday, August 28, 2025, by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, Assistant Controller of Immigration ACI AS Akinlabi, in a statement to the press.
The new charges will apply exclusively to passport applications submitted within Nigeria. The revised prices set the passport fee at N100,000 and N200,000, marking a notable hike aimed at improving service delivery and passport management processes.
“The review which only affects Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee threshold for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000,” the statement read.
It further clarified that application 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.
The service said the adjustment was aimed at maintaining the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring accessibility for citizens.
Nigerians planning to apply for or renew their passports are advised to prepare for the updated costs starting next month.
