British passport costs

Understand the costs behind a British passport enquiry.

Passport charges and professional assistance are different parts of the cost. An enquiry that first needs nationality research can have a different scope from a straightforward renewal.

Separate government visa charges, the health surcharge where applicable, professional fees and payment charges.
Keep each applicant and charge in view.

Published case figures shown with their review dates. Confirm the scope; marked cases need a current quote.

Each example covers the named applicant and period. Additional applicants, document work and optional services may change the cost.

What are you paying for?

The passport application, professional work, delivery and any separate records support should be distinguishable. The published examples below describe named services and should be read with their breakdowns.

Why might your total differ?

A first passport, a renewal and a case involving unresolved status are not interchangeable services. Additional applicants or agreed document work can also affect the total; an example is not a promise that every case has the same scope.
