The price of applying for a new British passport is going up
The fee for a standard online application submitted from within the UK will rise from £75.50 to £82.50 for adults and £49 to £53.50 for children, as reported by The Mirror. Postal applications will also rise from £85 to £93 for adults and £58.50 to £64 for children.
"The increase will also help enable the Government to continue improving its services." The proposed increases would be the first in five years that, the Home Office said, adding they will be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny. It means passports could be the last documents to officially carry the authority of the last monarch. Those issued now will be valid up to 2031 when King Charles will be 84.
