Price of Nigerian Passport

The current official price for a 32 pages Nigerian passport is N50,000 (fifty thousand naira) only valid for 5 years, and N100,000 (one hundred thousand naira) only for the 64 pages Nigerian passport valid for 10 years. The key requirement for applying for any of these passport is National ID Card or NIN and birth certificate or age declaration.

The process of applying for the passport is actually straightforward but incredibly slow. Any applicant can follow the process to apply by herself at the [passport portal] or she can visit any Immigration service office close to her to apply in-person. For the first day, the application process consist of meeting the passport officer or any officer in Immigration uniform on the site to declear your interest, the officer will then introduce you to the passport officer, but in most cases you will be introduce to a middle man officer, who would give you a form to submit your details and an account number to pay. This is the case if you are desperate to get the passport otherwise, you may have to wait approximate 2 to 3 months to get your passport. So, these desperate applicants go through a process know as passport fast-tracking.

Fast tracking is not recognized by the government, which makes it risky, but that's how many got their passport fast. Therefore, if it is your first time, you just have to hope that you'll be introduce to the right person. The best approach is to do it yourself online or go straight to passport office, and deal directly with the passport officer, while rejecting any fast-tracking offer and be patience. However, if you've got no time, some of our users have shared their passport fast-tracking experience below or in the comment section, where you can learn how they beat time after you have being captured. It is currently impossible to influence the date of your capturing because, the schedule is being handle by a computer program not a human being, and it often hapoen within a week. But, you can get your passport the same date that you are captured or a day after, since printing is handle by human beings, they could decide to print yours first, anytime, as long as the printing material is available.

I wanted to attend a scientific seminar in China on fission energy in January 2025 but, uptill November 2024 I had no Nigerian passport that could enable me to apply for the Chinese visa, so I went straight to the Nigerian Immigration Office, opposite Ikeja City Mall or Shoprite, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos. There, I met an officer in uniform at the entrance, who enquire what I wanted to do, and later laid me upstairs to collect my details. I then inquire about the cost, which he responded with N70,000. I argued with him because, I was aware of the official rate (N50,000) of a 32 pages passport, with a 5 years validity, but he explained that, the addition N20,000 was his supervisory charges, which everyone know about according to him, he went further to inform me that there's an additional N20,000 that I could pay to get my passport within 3 weeks with a total cost of N90,000 only. And that immediately got my attention because I was running out of time. So, I pleaded with him to take N70,000 with the fast-tracking and every other thing inclusive and he reluctantly agreed.
