The U.S. State Department is increasing its Passport Acceptance fee from $25 to $35 on April 2.
Key points:
Background: The State Department assesses two fees for applicants using Form DS-11 – one for the State Department and the other for the passport acceptance facility, such as a post office or other office designated to accept passport applications. The State Department has decided to increase the acceptance fee after finding that the current fee does not adequately cover the cost of executing the service.
BAL Analysis: Applicants should prepare for the fee increase that takes effect April 2.
