Scammers are using increasingly sophisticated and convincing methods to dupe potential travellers into paying for non-existent holidays and services - including quick passport renewals.
, the CTSI has also warned about texts and emails offering speedy passport renewals. These can cause victims to lose personal data, as well as money to fraudsters.An adult passport renewal costs £82.50, or £93 . For children under 16, applications cost £53.50 for online and £64 by post.
Currently, an adult passport renewal can take up to ten weeks - this means even if an application were submitted today, it may not arrive back until the end of June. With summer holidays on the horizon and a potential backlog of lapsed passports from during the pandemic, holidaymakers are being urged to check their expiry date and leave plenty of time to renew ahead of any travel.
The one-week Fast Track application service will deliver your new passport within a week of an in-person appointment at a passport office. It costs £155 for an adult passport and £126 for a child passport. The Online Premium service is just for renewing adult passports and costs £193.50. You will get your new passport at the appointment.
