Officially, the federal Govt. has increased the official price for obtaining an international passport from N10,0000 to N15,000. This came as a shock to many of us who didn't know the normal price was even N10,000 because we are used to paying N15,000 and above. Nigerians are begging for transparency because since the new price is officially N15,000, then we are sure corrupt officers will charge N20,000 and above which will be a big rip off for struggling Nigerians.
According to a circular signed by the Deputy Comptroller in charge of Operations/Passport and released a few days ago titled 'Passport Reforms', applicants will now pay N15,000 instead of N10,000.Also 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.
All payments will be made online going forward according to the circular
