There are no plans to waive any passport fees after the transition period.

Fees are charged to cover the full cost of providing the service, granting fee waivers means other customers would have to pay more to subsidise those waivers. All passport customers need to check they have appropriate validity for travel to the EU or anywhere else in the world. Guidance is available on Gov.UK
