Kenyans applying for new passports now face higher costs as the government has quietly removed the 50-page passport option from the eCitizen platform, leaving the more expensive 66-page version as the only standard choice.

• The 66-page passport, costing KSh 12,500, is now the sole standard option for new applicants and renewals on eCitizen.
• The 50-page passport, previously costing KSh 9,500, has been removed without official announcement.
• This follows the earlier removal of the most affordable 34-page passport in July 2025, which cost KSh 7,500, citing operational and supply challenges.
