Passport Fees are Increasing on July 13, 2010

by Steve Dasseos, The Trip Insurance Guru on July 9, 2010

I’ve been lazy renewing my passport, but I’m going to do it today. That’s because Passport Fees are increasing on July 13, 2010. I knew there was an increase coming, but I kept putting it off. Now I have to get going.

And, I can thank Lori Rice’s article on Galavanting for reminding me to take care of this.

Here are the basics:

  • First time applicants will be paying 35% more as the price for a passport book increases from $100 to $135.
  • Travelers will now be charged $110 instead of $75 to renew a current passport.
  • Likely the most difficult change to accept for many regular travelers, however, is adding additional passport pages. The free service will soon cost $82 under the new fee schedule.

I hope this helps you.
