The Nigeria Immigration Service has begun issuance of the new enhanced passport booklet today, Monday 29th April, 2019 at the Service Headquarters, Abuja.

The new enhanced polycarbonate passport booklet which was launched by Mr. President on the 15th January, 2019 is part of a comprehensive passport reform approved by the Government to improve the quality and security of the travel document with a 10-year validity passport that reduces incidence of damage, counterfeit, and forgery. Therefore, the commencement at the Service Headquarters, Abuja marks the roll out plan for the new document.
