Understanding Passport Pricing
UK passport fees are structured based on the applicant’s age, the application method, and the required processing speed. Here is how the costs are determined.
Determine the Base Fee
The core cost depends on whether the applicant is an adult (16+) or a child (under 16), and whether you apply online (cheaper) or via a paper form.
Choose Passport Size
A standard 34-page passport is suitable for most travellers. Frequent travellers can opt for a 54-page passport for a small additional fee to accommodate more visas and stamps.
Select Processing Speed
Standard service takes up to 3 weeks. If you need it sooner, 1 Week Fast Track or 1 Day Premium services are available for a significant premium, subject to eligibility.
Add Optional Services
Factor in the £16 Post Office Check & Send service for peace of mind, or a £5 fee to have your supporting documents (like birth certificates) returned via secure tracked delivery.
