Applicants to pay more for US passport execution fee

Effective April 2, 2018, the United States passport execution fee will increase from $25 to $35.  The $10 execution fee increase applies to US passport applicants using the DS-11 form, including: first-time applicants over age 16, children under age 16, and applicants who reapply after reporting their previous passport lost or stolen.

Customers applying with the DS-11 form at a US embassy or consulate abroad pay two separate fees: an application fee to the US Department of State and the execution fee to the Passport Acceptance Facility (such as a post office in the United States or a US embassy or consulate abroad). Accordingly, the total passport fee for such applicants will increase by $10 in total.

The $10 fee increase does not apply to adults eligible to renew their passport using the DS-82 form. The Department of State published a Final Rule confirming this fee change on January 31, 2018.
