The Minister for Security and Immigration (James Brokenshire)
Her Majesty’s Passport Office is committed to delivering better value for money for our customers.
In keeping with this commitment, I am pleased to announce that from 7 April the passport fee for customers applying for a UK passport overseas will be reduced by £45 for adults and £28.50 for children. The new fees are as follows:
Adult 32 page passport £83.00.
Child 32 page passport £53.00.
Jumbo 48 page passport £91.00 (child and adult).
This reduction comes as a result of efficiency savings made over the last three years by bringing back the processing and issuing of overseas passports to the UK, while maintaining the highest levels of security and customer service.
This reduction follows the 2012 decrease in fee by £5 for all UK citizens applying within the UK.
