Understanding Passport Application Fees

Applying for a passport involves several fees, which can vary based on the type of application, the age of the applicant, and the services you choose. This calculator helps you estimate the total cost for a U.S. passport.

Key Fees Explained:

• Application Fee: This is the primary fee for processing your passport application. It covers the cost of reviewing your documentation and issuing the passport. The amount depends on whether it’s a new application for an adult, a renewal, or for a minor.
• Execution Fee (Acceptance Fee): This fee is paid to the acceptance facility (e.g., post office, library) that witnesses your application and verifies your identity. It is typically required for new adult passports, child passports, and replacements. It is NOT required for renewals submitted by mail using Form DS-82.
• Expedited Service Fee: If you need your passport processed faster than the standard turnaround time, you can opt for expedited service for an additional fee.
• Urgent Mailing Fee: This optional fee covers the cost of overnight delivery for your completed passport book when you select expedited service.

How the Calculator Works:

The calculator uses the following fee structure (as of the latest available information, but always check the official U.S. Department of State website for the most current fees):

• New Adult Passport (Form DS-11): Application Fee + Execution Fee
• Adult Passport Renewal (Form DS-82, by Mail): Application Fee Only (No Execution Fee)
• Child Passport (Under 16, Form DS-11): Application Fee + Execution Fee
• Lost/Stolen/Damaged Replacement (Form DS-11): Application Fee + Execution Fee
• Expedited Service Fee: A flat additional fee.
• Urgent Mailing Fee: A flat additional fee for expedited shipping.

The calculator sums these applicable fees based on your selections. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to the official U.S. Department of State passport website.
