The Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for international passports, effective September 1, 2024.

The sixty-four-page passport booklet with 10-year validity, which was N70,000, is now N100,000.

The statement read: “As part of its efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Standard Passport, the Federal Government has approved an upward review of the fees for the Passport, effective from September 1, 2024.

“Based on the review, a 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 a 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.
