The government of Nigeria has approved the upward review of the cost of obtaining the country’s passport.
The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) announced the new passport fees in a statement on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
According to NIS, the 32-page passport booklet with a validity of five years will increase from N26,000 to N100,000, while the 64-page passport with 10-year validity will now cost N200,000.
The increment takes effect from September 1, 2025.
This came as the second price increment in one year. In August last year, the Service had announced a price hike that saw the price of the 32-page passport jump from N35,000 to N50,000.
