Breaking: FG raises passport fee by 42%
The Federal Government through the Nigerian Immigration Service has increased the fee for the Nigerian Passport by 42%.
In a statement signed by DCI KT Udo, the Service Public Relations Officer on Tuesday in Abuja said the review will take effect from 1st September, 2024.
“Based on the review, 32-page Passport booklet with 5 year validity previously charged at Thirty-five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) will now be Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000.00) only; while 64-page Passport booklet with 10 year validity which was Seventy Thousand Naira (N70,000.00) will be One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) only. However, the fees remain unchanged in Diaspora.
“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.”
The increment according to the Service is as part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport.
