Government Fees

How do I pay the Government Fees?

You must include a check or money order made out to the U.S. Department of State.

How much is an adult passport?

$170 payable to the US Dept. of State. Personal Check or Money Order only.  No starter checks, temporary checks, or checks that aren’t filled out completely.

How much is a child passport?

$140 payable to the US Dept. of State.  Personal Check or Money Order only.  No starter checks, temporary checks, or checks that aren’t filled out completely.

I thought a passport costs only $110 for me or $80 for my child?

This is true; however, in order to obtain an expedited passport (why you are here in the 1st place), you must pay $60 over and above the normal passport fee. This is a non-negotiable “expedited” up-charge levied by the US Dept. of State.

Are the Urgent Passport Services fees included with the government fees?

No. Our fees are separate and in addition to any governmental fees.

Do I include the $25 fee with my passport fee in one check/money order?

No. You pay this fee separately to the Passport Acceptance Agent. Generally, cash is the best form of payment.  This fee is required for all applications except for renewals or extra visa page applications.
