A passport is an official document issued by the government of a country to her citizens to grant them access for the purpose of international movements or travels. Since the introduction of the new international passport in Nigeria, a lot of people have not been informed of the new changes in price and application methods and the types of passport available. As we already know, the passport is a very important personal means of identification and a document anybody needs to travel abroad so it's important we understand the details about it. The current E-Passport which was launched by President Mohammadu Buhari was divided into two types - the 64-pages and the 32-pages and both have different prices and the validity period now lasts up to 10 years, unlike the previous one with 4 years.

Below is a breakdown of the passport types, their prices and durations.

1 The cost of 32-page five-year standard passport price is N25,000.

2 64-page five-year standard passport costs N35,00.

3 64-page 10-year standard passport price is N70,000

4 32-page five-year official passport costs N15,000.


However, based on experience, one applying for a passport at any immigration office in Nigeria needs to have more than these amounts specified. As at the 03/07/2019, the 32-page five-year standard at Immigration Office in Ikoyi, Lagos State costs around N40,000-N50,000. The extra fees, which we don't understand, maybe the charges imposed by the immigration officer processing your passport. Another very important thing you need to know before applying for the new international passport is that you must have a National Identity Card. This has been made mandatory recently. The Nigerian ID card must be processed and the temporal ID obtained before the international passport can be processed. The National ID is totally free and the temporal ID can be processed in one day or in a few days.
