Passport Acceptance Fee Going Up



A U.S. State Department fee increase for passport acceptance takes effect next week.

Beginning Monday, April 2, the passport acceptance fee will rise from $25 to $35. The $10 fee increase applies only to U.S. applicants who use the DS-11 form, U.S. Passport Application. The increase doesn’t apply to adults eligible to renew their U.S. passport by mail using the DS-82 form.

Passports are an important part of the Postal Service’s business. Post Offices accepted more than 6.5 million passport applications during the previous fiscal year, generating $164.9 million in revenue.
