Passport Prices


Samurai

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to tie up some odds and ends here at the weekend, and suddenly remembered that I need a new passport. Well... thinking about going on holiday this Summer, I'll need one of those methinks!!

So just as I'm about to fill in this application pack, which might I add weighs about the same as a small novel I realise the price documentation is missing. I then find a notice telling me to visit http://www.passport.gov.uk/ for the latest prices as they're subject to change. So off I go.

I nearly fell off my chair. £51.00 !!!! What the hell has happened since I last purchased one years ago for around half this amount? I can't believe it.

For those of you not resident in the UK or its territories that works out as:

  • 82.70 USD
  • 3,945.56 INR
  • 123.80 AUD
  • 103.52 CAD
  • 73.08 EUR
  • 688.82 SEK

Is any other country paying as much as this? I'm just in shock :)

Here's their fee breakdown...

Of which...

Application processing	 - £14.02	
FCO consular protection - £9.65
Book production - £5.00
Secure delivery - £3.00
Anti-fraud initiatives - £14.51
Administration - £4.82

usa passport went up a lot afterwards. (congress raise the price for the extra background security check crap) also if you want the passport quickly in 2 weeks or less that cost extra too. plus the photo cost money.
