The Nigeria Immigration Service has announced another upward adjustment in the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, effective September 1, 2025.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, it was noted that the revised charges apply only to applications made within Nigeria.
According to the statement, “The review which only affect Passport Application fees made in Nigeria, now set a new fee thresholds for 32-page with 5-year validity at N100,000 and 64-page with 10-year validity at N200,000.”
The Service further clarified that passport application fees for Nigerians abroad remain unchanged, at $150 for the 32-page, five-year document and $230 for the 64-page, 10-year document.
This comes barely a year after the NIS last increased passport fees in 2024, a move that also drew mixed reactions from Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.
According to the Service, the latest adjustment is aimed at preserving the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring continued accessibility for citizens.
