The cost of your U.S. passport depends on the type of passport you're applying for and the processing speed you select. Our prices start at $153.31 for adult passports and $142.51 for child passports. Government fees are separate from our service fees and, depending on the application and service, may be collected with your order or paid separately. The service fee covers:
The government fees for passport types and processing speeds are as follows:
Name change within a year of issue: if your passport was issued less than one year ago, the correction uses Form DS-5504 and the U.S. Department of State charges no application fee — you pay our fees only (plus the expedite fees above if you choose a faster speed).
Typical total processing time for each speed, from a complete application to the passport in hand. Final issuance timing is set by the State Department.
| Speed | Processing time | Service fee |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 4–6 weeks | from $107 |
| Expedited | 2–4 weeks | from $137 |
Government fees are set by the U.S. Department of State and never marked up — they appear as their own line at checkout. Expedited includes the State Department's $60 expediting fee plus $26.87 for 1–3 day return delivery of a passport book (passport cards ship by regular mail). In-person applications (first passport, child, lost/stolen/damaged) also carry a separate $35 acceptance fee, paid directly to the acceptance facility — never part of the government fee payment (accepted payment methods vary by location).
