The Federal Government of Nigeria has increased the international passport fee by 50%, according to reports.
The Deputy Comptroller in charge of Operations/Passport confirmed in a recent release titled ‘Passport Reforms’ that applicants will now pay N15,000 instead of the official N10,000.
Accordingly, applicants for change of data will pay now N30,000.
A newly introduced 64-page passport for frequent travelers will cost N20,000, while Passport for applicants 18 years and below will cost N8,750. It’s N15,000 between 18-60 and N8,500 for people above 60 years.
Female applicants, who apply for change of name as a result of marriage/divorce or deceased spouse, will pay N8,750, while processing fee for request for change of data will cost N30,000.
Perhaps, Nigerians may have to purchase the passport officially - as unofficial dealings may attract higher charges.
