Overview
- A standard adult online application is proposed to rise from £94.50 to £102, with children’s online fees increasing from £61.50 to £66.50.
- Postal applications would go to £115.50 for adults and £80 for children, while the Premium one‑day service would increase from £222 to £239.50.
- Overseas applications are set to rise to £116.50 online for adults (£75.50 for children) and to £130 by post for adults (£89 for children).
- This would be the third straight year of sizable rises, following increases in 2023–2025 that have pushed up family renewal costs.
- Officials report 99.7% of straightforward 2025 applications were processed within three weeks and urge people to renew before the new fees take effect, with a free 32‑page passport still available to those born on or before 2 September 1929.
