The UK Government through the Home Office, has announced the UK new passport application fees for its citizens from April 10, 2025, subject to an approval by the Parliament.
The UK New Passport Application Fee will affect both overseas and home applicants including adults and children.
The UK Passport Office on March 19 has announced that it will introduce new passport fees for applicants from both within and outside the United Kingdom.
HM Passport Office is the sole issuer of UK passports and is responsible for civil registration services through the General Register Office.
The UK new passport application fee will serve as a source of funds for processing passport applications, consular support overseas, including for lost or stolen passports, and the cost of processing British citizens at UK borders.
This increase in UK Passport Application Fees will enable the agency to be self-sufficient, moving towards a system that meets its costs through those who use it.
The new proposed fees for passport applications will include the following;
The fee for a standard online application made from within the UK will rise from £88.50 to £94.50 for adults and £57.50 to £61.50 for children.
Postal applications will increase from £100 to £107 for adults and £69 to £74 for children.
The fee for a Premium Service (1 day) application made from within the UK will rise from £207.50 to £222 for adults and £176.50 to £189 for children.
The fee for a standard online application when applying from overseas for a UK passport will rise from £101 to £108 for adults and £65.50 to £70 for children.
Overseas standard paper applications will increase from £112.50 to £120.50 for adults and £77 to £82.50 for children
