The Federal Government has approved an increase in passport fees, effective 1st September, according to KT Udo, public relations officer for the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS.
The 32-page passport booklet with a 5-year validity will now cost N50,000, up from N35,000 while the 64-page booklet with a 10-year validity will increase to N100,000, from N70,000.
Udo said the increase is part of the government’s “efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian standard passport.”
Fees remain unchanged for applicants in the diaspora.
The Nigeria Immigration Service has assured Nigerians of its commitment to transparency and quality service delivery.
“While the Nigeria Immigration Service regrets any inconvenience this increase might cause prospective applicants; it assures Nigerians of unwavering commitment to transparency and quality service delivery at all times,” Udo stated.
