Nigerian Passport Fees in 2026 — Full Schedule

Inside Nigeria, a Nigerian passport costs ₦100,000 for the 32-page 5-year and ₦200,000 for the 64-page 10-year, since the NIS fee review of 1 September 2025. Diaspora applicants pay the NIS USD anchor rate of $150 and $230 respectively, with individual missions sometimes publishing slightly different booklet fees and an administrative fee on top. Lost-passport replacements abroad add a penalty of $350 to $370 depending on the consulate.

The Nigeria Immigration Service issued an upward review of standard passport fees with effect from 1 September 2025. The review applies only to applications made inside Nigeria.

There is no 32-page 10-year Nigerian passport. The 10-year validity is sold only as a 64-page booklet.

The fee is paid on immigration.gov.ng via Remita or card. Inside Nigeria, there is no separately published penalty for replacements of lost or damaged passports — the standard booklet fee applies, and the police report or written explanation of damage serves as the formal record.

The September 2025 review explicitly left diaspora fees unchanged. The NIS USD anchor rates remain:

Individual missions sometimes publish slightly different booklet fees from the NIS USD anchor, with administrative charges layered on top. Check the specific mission's page before paying.

The two largest US missions both publish the same booklet schedule and add an administrative charge.

The total a US-based adult pays for a 32-page 5-year passport at New York is $142 booklet + $50 admin = $192, plus USPS return postage. The Atlanta total differs slightly because Atlanta lists no separate administrative fee on its published schedule. Confirm the breakdown on the mission's website before sending a money order.

Every Nigerian high commission, embassy, and consulate publishes its own fee schedule in local currency, anchored to the NIS USD rates.

• NHC London (UK) charges the passport application fee at the NIS anchor in GBP, plus a £20 UK postal order administrative fee and a self-addressed Royal Mail C4 special-delivery envelope.
• Embassy of Nigeria, Sweden charges an administrative fee of 500 SEK for minor reissue and 1,000 SEK for damaged-passport reissue, on top of the standard NIS-anchor passport fee.
• High Commission in Ottawa (Canada), Embassy of Nigeria, Germany, High Commission, Kuala Lumpur, and Consulate General, Johannesburg all publish their own equivalents.

Missions sometimes publish slightly different rates from the NIS USD anchor; check the specific mission's page before paying.

Stranded Nigerians abroad without a valid passport apply for either an Emergency Travel Certificate (the older paper document) or the Nigeria Temporary Passport (the ICAO-compliant 4-page e-passport that has replaced the ETC at most missions since March 2021).

• ETC — $150 by USPS Money Order at the Consulate General of Nigeria, New York. Valid for a one-way journey to Nigeria, six weeks from issue.
• NTP — priced locally by each mission. Valid for 30 days, one journey only, retrieved at the Nigerian port of entry.

Both are paid for separately from any standard passport fee. Neither replaces your e-passport — you must still apply for a full re-issue once you are back in Nigeria or once your mission completes a replacement. For the full route, see emergency travel certificate and lost Nigerian passport.

The NIS passport fee buys you the booklet and the appointment. It does not cover:

• NIN enrolment. Free at NIMC for the basic NIN; corrections cost separately.
• NPC birth certificate. Issued by the National Population Commission, with its own administrative fee at the state office.
• Local government identification letter. Issued by your LG secretariat, usually for a small administrative charge.
• Guarantor's form endorsement. The form itself is free from the portal. Commissioners for Oaths in High Courts charge a small administrative fee for the endorsement, typically a few thousand naira.
• Sworn affidavit for lost-passport cases. A High Court charge of a few thousand naira.
• Passport photographs. Photo studio fees outside the application.
• Travel and accommodation if your booked passport centre is in a different city.

None of these are part of the NIS fee. Anyone billing you a single "all-in" figure that bundles them is either marking up the standard NIS rate or is not part of the official process.
