NIS increases passport fees to N200,000, to take effect from September 1

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has revealed an upward adjustment in the fees for obtaining the Nigerian Standard Passport, set to take effect on September 1, 2025.

In a statement released by the NIS Public Relations Officer, ACI AS Akinlabi, the agency noted that the new fees will apply exclusively to passport applications made within Nigeria.

“The review which only affects 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 statement indicated.

Notably, application fees for Nigerians residing in the diaspora will remain unchanged, with costs of $150 for the 32-page five-year passport and $230 for the 64-page ten-year passport.

The NIS emphasized that these adjustments are necessary to uphold the quality and integrity of the Nigerian passport while ensuring it remains accessible for citizens.
