Does your Passport expire soon?

The Home Office has outlined plans to introduce different passport fees for online and postal applications as part of its push to increase the use of online services.

Under the plans, online applications, which are available to all UK-based applicants, will increase in line with inflation, taking the total from £72.50 to £75.50 for adults and £49 for children. Postal applications will increase by £12.50 to £85 for adults and £58.50 for children, reflecting the increased costs of processing postal applications compared to online applications.

The proposals, once approved by Parliament, are planned to come into force on 27 March 2018.
