The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has announced a 100 percent increase in the cost of Nigerian Standard Passports. The new rates will take effect on September 1, 2025.

According to the Service Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the review is necessary to preserve the quality and integrity of the passport. He explained that the adjustment ensures the document maintains international standards while meeting security requirements.

New Rates for Passports in Nigeria

With the new structure, a 32-page passport with a five-year validity will now cost ₦100,000. A 64-page passport with a 10-year validity will cost ₦200,000.

The NIS clarified that the increase only applies to applications processed within Nigeria. Fees for Nigerians in the diaspora remain unchanged. They will still pay $150 for a 32-page passport with five-year validity and $230 for a 64-page passport with 10-year validity.

The official statement read:

“In a bid to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport, the Service has reviewed application fees, effective 1st September, 2025.

The review covers only applications filed in Nigeria. A 32-page passport with five-year validity now costs ₦100,000, while the 64-page passport with ten-year validity is ₦200,000. Application fees abroad remain $150 and $230, respectively.”

The Service stressed that the increase is designed to balance efficient service delivery with accessibility for all Nigerians.

Another Increase in Less Than Two Years

This change comes shortly after the Federal Government raised passport fees in August 2024, which also took effect in September that year.

At that time, NIS spokesperson DCI Kenneth Udo said the increment was necessary to sustain production quality and improve security features. The 32-page passport with five-year validity rose from ₦35,000 to ₦50,000, while the 64-page passport with 10-year validity increased from ₦70,000 to ₦100,000.

The 2025 hike marks the second increase in under 18 months, raising fresh concerns about affordability for ordinary Nigerians.
