If you've been procrastinating about getting or renewing your passport, it's time to get moving because fees are significantly increasing effective Tuesday, July 13.
Adult passport book fees will increase from $100 to $135. Those for minors will jump from $85 to $105.
Renewal fees on adult passports will increase from $75 to $110.
Passport card fees also are rising from $45 to $55 for adults and from $35 to $40 for children. (Passport cards look like a driver's license and allow you to enter the U.S. from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-call.)
But there IS good news --- the processing fee charged by Post Offices that accept passport applications will not increase. That fee is $25 per application. For a list of Post Offices with passport acceptance services, go to usps.com and choose “Select a Post Office.” On the next page, fill in your address, and from the drop menu select “Passport Application Services.” Then click on “Search.” Some Post Offices require your scheduling an appointment.
Bon Voyage!
