Nigerian Passport Guide 2026
Renew, replace, correct or apply for a Nigerian passport with source-linked requirements, current fees and official NIS routes.

Each linked guide shows the current fee or status, what to prepare, the official application portal and what happens after submission or biometric enrolment.
