The Federal Government has increased passport fee by 50%. 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. (It was officially N10,000 but we all know how much we really paid...lol) 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

Nigerians have trekked across the Sahara desert and hidden themselves in the wheels of aeroplanes ready for take- off to Europe, paying a couple of more thousands of naira (including bribe to officials) will not deter them from wanting to flee "the giant of Africa!"
Unless of course Boko Haram get to them first!

If payment is online, can the application be made online, so that it will be easier to apply than always going to their office to do the manual passport application. It's really hectic and stressful. Then when it's ready, they email people and tell them, so that they can go pick it up?
