The changes, which are still subject to parliamentary approval, will raise costs for both online and paper applications, affecting adults and children alike.

According to the UK Home Office, the adjustments apply to domestic and overseas passport applications.

Starting April 10th, 2025, the fee for a standard online application within the UK will rise for adults and children.

The cost of an adult’s application will increase from £88.50 to £94.50, while it will go up for children from £57.50 to £61.50.

Postal applications will also see an increase, with the adult fee rising from £100 to £107 and the child fee increasing from £69 to £74.

The Premium Service, which allows for passport issuance within one day, will also become more expensive; for adults, the fee will rise from £207.50 to £222, while for children, the fee will increase from £176.50 to £189.

The service is available for those who need a passport urgently and are applying from within the UK.

For individuals applying from overseas, the standard online application fee for adults will rise from £101 to £108, and the child fee will increase from £65.50 to £70

For paper applications made abroad, the adult fee will rise from £112.50 to £120.50, while the child fee will increase from £77 to £82.50.

The fee increase mentioned is part of a continuous initiative to make the passport system financially self-reliant, thereby lessening its reliance on general tax funding.

The Home Office has stated that the British government does not profit from these fees.

It also stated that the new fees are necessary to maintain the passport service and ensure its financial viability.

The fees cover the cost of processing passport applications, offering consular support to UK citizens overseas, and managing UK border services.

“The fees contribute to the cost of processing passport applications, consular support overseas, including for lost or stolen passports, and the cost of processing British citizens at UK borders,” the office said.

It is also related that in 2024, 99.7% of standard applications from the UK were processed within three weeks, where no additional information was required. Customers are advised to apply well in advance of their travel plans to avoid delays.

These fee adjustments align with guidelines from HM Treasury, which regularly reviews passport fees.
